I have been working on a new Main Page (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=User:Kokkan/Main_Page), with improved layout for XCOM News, Wiki News and Featured images/articles/info.

 

If an admin or editor can approve of this design I will update the Main Page a.s.a.p.

 

 

Also I am wondering if it would be possible to add an Extention to the wiki to hide the title heading.

Like this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NoTitle

Hi heniv.

 

Pete is your man for this, but, to my knowledge, he's a bit busy with RL stuff at present, so he's a little less responsive momentarily.

Nonetheless, he should be around fairly soon.

I'm okay with the redesign and say go for it. Just note that the picture in the featured box is melding in with the news box.

Yes, I found that bug also. I will contineu to work on it for a while more. Unless any of you have anything against it I will update the Main Page once i'm sure everything works 100% (you can revet it if you don't like tha layout).

Sounds good to me

I'm happy with the new homepage - go for it if everyone else seems happy.

 

Added the "notitle" code as per the instructions - can you give it a whirl and let me know if it works?

Tried and it works. Another code we need is to be able to change the name of the page displayed and hide the game suffix, so that the page Classes (EU2012) appear only Classes on the title.

__NOTITLE__ works fine. Thank you Pete.

You can achive that with a __NOTITLE__ and a H1 (=Header=) combination. I however discourage it strongly since it will cause more confusion than good in my opinion.

I already tried it on the [[Mission Control]] page and it looks better but it also makes sense that it will be more confusing.

If you need anything else, give me a shout.

 

There's no doubt that I'm not the quickest with responding to requests, but with prodding I do get around to doing things
