The New ZW.org --Jase 16:19, 22 October 2006 (CDT)


As you may have noticed, the look of the site has changed. You'll notice a bit more is on the main page now, and the look is a bit more "Zelda-ish." We also have a new logo (or two, if you like to count both).

Everyone should be able to see the new template automatically - there is nothing else to choose from. The white theme may be put back in the future as "ZW.org White" if there are enough complaints about people not liking the new theme, which is called "Old Blue." Due to some problems with MediaWiki, though, it is called "MonoBook" in the skin section of preferences so that everyone is automatically using it.

With this new look will come a new standard in quality. Now the the wiki looks presentable, the content must as well. Pages that are poorly made will no longer be tolerated to the degree they were previously. There will also be a big hunt to fix pages tagged for needing improvement.

You'll also see that we're also asking for people to write Wiki-specific articles. Now, you don't get anything in return for this, but volunteering to write something for the Wiki, some special content that everyone can read (and will be read by many a-visitor), is a very nice gesture indeed. In fact, we need some of those types of people. If you're interested, send an email over to me at jason [at] zeldawiki.org.

Some thanks to the people who made this update possible:

  • Toby, who created the majority of the template for the new main page.
  • Jin, who also helped create the main page template.
  • Fury Three, who provided the initial jump start for the layout, and even though he disappeared gave the foundation of understanding for the "xbox-huge" CSS file.
  • Captain Cornflake, who also contributed to understanding the CSS file.

That's all for now. Look for more updates in the future!
