This page seriously needs to be spruced up...

I moved the old main page to Getting Started. Set up an initial draft for the new main page. The idea was to present information to the reader right away. Readers who frequent the wiki will not want to see a greeting every time, but instead get some news perhaps. The items under "Recent Events" should really be links to articles about the events. Once the events become old news they could be moved to the History page. Any thoughts?--PhantomSnake 19:17, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I don't know...

I'd rather not have a news section. There are plenty of other sites for that. I'd actually be more tempted to have a portion of the Recent Changes page on the main page. --Zaventh 19:34, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)

How about this?

Ok, so news is not a priority. I removed the "Recent Events" section and replaced it with a "Random articles that we need" section. It might help kick-start things. What else could we put on the main page? There is plenty of space yet, especially if we use tables.--PhantomSnake 20:51, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Failed Domain Move/Upgrade

Well, I bought the nexuswiki.com domain. I tried moving the domains and also upgrading to the latest beta version of mediawiki. Everything worked fine except the domain transfer, which kept reverting to zaventh.com instead of nexuswiki.com. At any rate, I restored the database back to its latest version so continue to use zaventh.com/wiki for now.

Excited about Progress

Hey guys,

I'm just wanna say how excited I am about this project. I'm gonna help out when I can with it, and I'm really hoping it gets approved by KRU. Good luck and I'm going to write an article.

Great

Great, that is the idea. Hopefully if everyone contributes what they can, this wiki will grow rapidly and become a real unique resource to Nexus.

Opinion

This is a great idea for a site, with massive potential for growth. I love it because it allows every day players (like myself) to get involved and help. I like the idea of having the main page so some recent changes\additions so people can see what is being worked on and maybe add\review those changes.
