Attack on Titan Wiki talk:Community Portal

This is the general discussion page for the wiki! New founders should leave a nice welcome message and encourage new visitors and editors to leave a note to get the conversation started.

Wiki Navigation
Well, I would like the community's input on what to put up on the Wiki Naviagation bar (for those who do not know, it is the drop down list near the top of each page). It is simple enough to put up the different categories, but from there on, I think it would be beter to ask the community for they feel is best.

To start of with is the "Characters" tab. Which characters are the most important to the story and belong to be on the list? Also, should there be a separate tab for Titans, which could be argued do not reall belong in Characters?

Also, what chapters should be put under the "Chapters" tab? I put up the most popular chapters, but does anyone think there should be a different format? That would apply to anything you see on the Navigation bar. For such an important matter, it would be better to refer to the community at large.

Please, talk about it, wih me and everyone else, because I really want to make this work! Thank you for your attention!

The "On The Wiki" tab is really useful for contributors because you have the random page and the wiki activity, so I wouldn't change that. Maybe adding the latest talk might be useful.

The Shingeki No Kyojin tab looks really good as well on the characters, but the chapters should be the most recent ones (at least to me).

The trending now tab looks pretty good too, but it would be nice to include something like featured articles.

The last tab contains inexistant pages, so I'll make them (if I can).

On another sidenote, could you perhaps add a chat and change the message wall into talk pages? (If everyone agrees, obviously.)

So, you didn't think the character bar doesn't need to be changed? I see your point regarding the other changes but I want to bring in the others to have a fuller discussion-though what you are saying is very rational and I agree.

It should be possible to chat now, but if you can't then I'll see wha needs to be changed. Also, regarding the message wall, Reaperxroll requested the message wall, so we can talk that one out hopefully. Thanks for the input!

I like the idea of having titans seperate from characters. As for chapters, I'm not sure. I could go either way, most recent releases or important plot developments.

I'd go with more recent, the importance of plot developments seems a bit to subjective. And I think we have to few titans for a separate titan tab/subtab, but let's wait for RXR's opinion about this.

I think character bar is fine. Titans should have their own tab, with the big foot titan, collosal titan, armoured titan and average titan. Chapters should have to drop downs, most popular and most recent :D

I probably should say this now, but I am planning to make the wiki theme black and white until the color theme of the manga reveals it self so I just want your say in this weather I should do it or not.

Yeah, there are definitely some that are subjective, but things like the Colossal Titan's first appearance/putting a hole in Wall Maria or Eren's first transformation move the story along. It doesn't matter though, whatever everyone decides is fine with me.

My motive for putting a separate tab for titans is because they are the main antagonists of the story and there will probably be more "unique" individuals in the future which can be added later.

Regarding chapters, what if we made "most recent" and put that under the Shingeki no Kyojin tab and then had popular chapters in Trending Now?

By the way, thank you all for coming over here!
