Talk:Main Page

Let's get a list of all our contributers. Say Hi or something so we are not all in the dark.

Hey all! I'm Jensor, from PEEL and I love Futurama. =)

Actually, there's already a complete user list, and if each person sets up a good User page, we'll know all we need to about them. Like my user page. Silly, but informative.

New Main Page
Was feeling a bit cheeky, made a new main page. I thought we had enough content now that the main page didn't have to be all about "We need help!" now it's got 2 sections, the first being for people just wanting to look around. Hopefully, if people start seeing how much content we're producing and the generally high quality of it, more of them will tell friends, and some of them will start contributing. The web is full of very sparse wikis that never really get anywhere, but the Infosphere isn't gonna be one of them! (at least, not on my watch.) Buddy 13, I hope you don't mind but I also took off the "wikibutton" picture - didn't really see the point, with the "Futurama Wiki" logo at the top of the sidebar, and it wasn't doing the layout right with that AND Infosphere.jpg.

I like what you did. You're right about the wikibutton - it doesn't need to be there. A couple people asked for a little button, and if they haven't got it by now they can just ask. Anyway, I'll make a new logo (featuring the infosphere, instead of Fry, with the words changed a bit), and I'll upload a cleaner DVD version of that infosphere pic (and probably remove it from the mainpage - if it's in the logo, we won't need it twice). I'm also going to check on what's involved in changing the name, and see how much work it'll be.

I sent out an e-mail to my Futurama fan friends telling them about this site. I asked them to contribute what they could. I don't know if they will, but I tried.

Thanks Jensor. I hope it helps. I contacted several webmasters to illicit help, with little avail. PEEL has been the most help so far.

And as for the Infosphere: I've made a couple test logos. Let me know what you guys think.

or or

Any changes you guys think I should make? (keep in mind that resizing or rewording the "A Futurama" part is a pain in the buttocks. The rest of it's okay, though.

Personally, I like the middle picture. The whole sphere is seen and the letters don't outshine anything. It's right to the point.

I agree, the middle is my favorite as well.

New Name
Surprisingly easy to change the name. I'll change the logo pic in a few minutes (probably before you even read this). I had to clear my cache before the change would show up, so you might still see "FuturamaWiki". Additionally, let me know if there are any broken pages, particularly the ones that started with "FuturamaWiki:". They should've all changed automatically, but you never know.

You probably noticed already but both links I know if (main->conference table, Buddy13->pic requests) are broken, doesn't seem to have automatically changed links, just pages.

Yeah, I fixed the one on my user page. I knew it wouldn't fix user-made links. But it changed automatic links, like the "Community Portal" over there.
