Talk:Main Page

Weapons
Should the weapons image (in the main content box) link to Weapon instead of the category page? Or perhaps the migrate the content of Weapon and redirect to Category:Weapons ?
 * All the boxes should link to their appropriate articles. - Kjhf (Talk | Contribs) 14:45, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The admins fixed it. - Kjhf (Talk | Contribs) 15:51, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Increase Cross-Browser Compatibility
Would it be possible to add the line display: -webkit-flex; to the CSS above where display: flex; is being used in order to increase browser compatibility? Looks great in very modern browsers and that extra line should catch a few more. Squidbina (talk) 04:49, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * All done. Thanks for the suggestion! – EspyoT 10:37, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry about tht! Espyo went ahead and added it for me (Thanks), I'll keep this in mind or the future.Aegis (talk) 10:50, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Showing maps in the countdown
We can probably put the maps for regular and ranked that are being played now in the countdown. Example:

Regular Battle Mode: Turf War

Regular Battle Stages: Saltspray Rig and Kelp Dome

Ranked Battle Mode: Tower Control

Ranked Battle Stages: Bluefin Depot and Urchin Underpass

Countdown: 3:20:19

Something like that. It would just be a little add on to the countdown that you could do.

 * There is no way to do this, without someone having to update it every four hours. Can't guarantee accuracy, so unless automation is possible, I'm against it. Luke (talk) 16:32, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I do recall coming across this, which is apparently automated from this. May or may not be practical for this wiki, though. Miles of SmashWiki (talk) 21:48, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion
What if we changed the appearance of the Wiki to kind of match the appearance of Inkopolis Plaza during Splatfest? Make it more disco-y? I think it would be a cool thing to do and a good way to signify that Splatfest is going on :P Now dat's a nutty kid. 18:30, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * ...hello? Now dat's a nutty kid. 11:05, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Splatfest
Just a little thing, could the Splatfest text on the main page be bracketed so it can lead to the Splatfest page itself? There's no direct link to it despite having information on the Splatfests. Also update the winners of NA and EU's 2nd event please. --CreatorGX (talk) 19:48, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I think they're just waiting for Japan's Splatfest to end so the results will be complete. Safyire (talk) 06:24, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * That seems like a poor idea. NA/EU Splatfests and JP Splatfests are at totally different times. Assuming the schedule is the same, the page would be inaccurate half the time if we didn't update it after the fest itself.
 * It would be much better if we simply put "Unknown" for the next Splatfests, and make changes as they come. Drsonic1 (talk) 23:08, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I made the title link to the Splatfest page and did what Drsonic requested. Thanks for letting us know how to make the wiki better! -  Shrimp Pin  23:40, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

The Splatfest timer currently says the NA Splatfest is over, but it's actually splatfest time right now (And for the next ~15 hours)

New content countdown (new weapon(s)/new map)
Like other countdowns, can we add countdowns for new content such as weapons or maps. (new content releases every other Wednesday/Saturday 2:00 UTC) InfiniteMusume (talk) 08:46, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I think this is a very good idea! What are others' thoughts? -  Shrimp Pin  23:41, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * That would be fine. There's no harm in having as much relevant information on the main page as possible! Drsonic1 (talk) 17:41, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Something strange with the Featured Article...
The title for the Featured Article box is showing up as uh... "aN:aN:aN". I looked at the source for both the main page and the FeaturedArticle template, but I can't tell what's causing it, they both look fine. I don't know if this is happening for anyone else, but just thought I'd bring it up.

Oh yeah, I took a screenshot:

 * Looks like it's doing the same thing on mobile, too. Anyone else seeing that or am I just, like, losing it or something? 😛 --Bzeep!   talk   01:31, 11 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm seeing it too (in both Firefox and Chrome on Windows 10). --Kaioora (talk) 01:41, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It seems that the countdown code from the previous block is leaking into the featured article block. -- Prod (talk) 04:17, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep, it looks like a missing  tag on the bottom countdown was causing it. --Kaioora (talk) 04:51, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah okay. Cool. --Bzeep!   talk   13:06, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
