Can we add the "random page" link to the nav bar which seems to be standard in every wiki except this one.  That's one of my favourite features of wikis.  -- [[User:GIR|GIR]] 28 August 2005 22:28 (MSD)

* Fixed. The page_random field was reset to 0 for some reason. [[User:RaMan|RaMan]]

== Protection ==
 
 
I suggest we protect the Main Page. It's the primary target for defacement, but it's also the first thing a visitor sees when they enter the site. It's not very nice if they are presented with a defaced page. Surely they'll feel that the site is neglected. Any opinions? --[[User:RaMan|RaMan]] 14:12, 26 July 2006 (MSD)
 
 
* I don't think its a bad idea, but it makes it of course harder for users for adding new content. So, if we do this and protect it, i would propose improving the layout of the main page to something more appealing and create a set of "portals" where any user can add content, for a special topic. So new pages can still be found, while main page does only get maybe one update per week. What about a "picture of the week" and an "article of the week" on main page? maybe we could motivate people to work more on their addon articles and tutorials. --[[User:Urwumpe|Urwumpe]] 14:32, 26 July 2006 (MSD)
 
 
* Please take a look at [[Main Page/New]]. I'll swap it for the current main page soon; express your opinions now! --[[User:RaMan|RaMan]] 18:58, 29 July 2006 (MSD)
 
 
** i like it, all critism i see is the title, maybe we should replace it with a tiny banner, so it does not look too "empty" on the screen. --[[User:Urwumpe|Urwumpe]] 22:16, 29 July 2006 (MSD)
