So vhat is the deal vith zee upload, eh? Will we ever be allowed to upload things to the Wiki to store here, or is it just one of those things that we're never going to get for it's too complicated, uses too much space or cost too much money, eh? Just curious. [[User:Fodian Federa|Fodian Federa]] 21:08, 20 Oct 2004 (GMT)

==Completely irrelevant==
+
 
+
Just wanted to make sure that everyone knew that today, 25 October 2004, according to the little main page counter, NSwiki officially had 1337! pages. :)  [[User:Iansisle|Iansisle]] 23:35, 25 Oct 2004 (GMT)

+
==Slight Typo==
+
In the "tip of the day" cell, the URL pointing to the Recent Pages section of the wiki has an underscore (ala recent_changes) rather than it being all one word (recentchanges). This results in a broken URL that points to an invalid page. Since I am not of sufficient privilages to edit the main page, I thought I'd point it out here.

+
==A Bit Redundant?==
+
I'm just curious as to why the Main Page is also the featured page on the Main Page?  It seems a bit redundant, as the "featured article" just repeats information that can be seen by looking directly to the right.  Is this a blunder or was it supposed to happen like that?  Just curious.  [[User:Khenala|Khen]] 13:08, 1 Apr 2005 (GMT)

==New Tip of the Day==

Maybe it's time for a change? I was particularly thinking [[NSwiki:Tip_of_the_day_archive#Sneak_preview]] might be a good reminder.[[User:Gruenberg2|<font color="green">Gruen</font>]][[User_talk:Gruenberg2|<font color="red">2alk</font>]] 23:03, 26 October 2005 (GMT)

== Talk:Main_Page put on protection indefinitely ==
+
 
+
In order to put an end to the linkspamming on this page by certain IPs, I've put this page on protect status. I've been thinking - it's definitely possible to have the discussion for the Main Page somewhere else so that it's not linkspammed, and so that this page is not linkspammed after we leave it - this seems to be the only page they're attacking anyway. If you have any comments/questions about the protection of this page, don't hesitate to message one of the sysops. --[[User:Pacitalia|<font color="navy">Paci</font>]][[User_talk:Pacitalia|<font color="green">'''talk'''</font>]][[User:Pacitalia|<font color="red">ia</font>]] 05:39, 21 November 2005 (GMT)
+
:I've moved it to this new title and unprotected it in an attempt to avert vandalism. It's important that we keep discussion of our main page open, though, because it's the front door of NSwiki. Perhaps we could impose an automatic indefinite block on those who linkspam this page if linkspamming starts up again?

== Move the pagecount up? ==
+
 
+
I believe it would be a good idea to move the amount of articles from the bottom of the page to the top (moving it into the "we are building an open-content encyclopedia" part. what do you think of this idea? --'''[[Swilatia|<font color="red">sw</font>]][[User:Swilatia|<font color="green">il</font>]][[User Talk: Swilatia|<font color= "yellow">at</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Swilatia|<font color="blue">ia</font>]]''' 01:23, 5 March 2006 (GMT)

:Personally, I think that entire section would look better on the top of the page, under the welcome paragraph. Here, I've made a mockup of what [[User:Dymero/Main_Page|might be good]].  My only concern is that it may make the top of the page have too much information.  [[User:Dymero|Dymero]] 07:30, 5 March 2006 (GMT)

:::::::Well, that creates the problem of having some important information on the bottom.  However, I did like the move of the disclaimer to the bottom.  I don't think of it as pertinent as the other information.  I moved it down on mine [[User:Dymero/Main_Page|version]], and the Featured Article problem seems to be fixed in my opinion.

== Main Page Makeover? ==
+
 
+
I've been considering making over the Main Page for some time now, especially making the main page moreso like the main page for Wikipedia. I've created a test page for what a wikipedia-like NSwiki main page may look like at [[Main Page/Jey]], and would like to know what the community thinks about changing the main page look along these lines. I would not be opposed to only partially implementing sections of this page, such as only including the top "welcome" section. '''[[Jey|<font color="blue"><sup>J</sup></font>]][[User:Jey|<font color="red">e</font>]][[User_talk:Jey|<font color="green"><sub>y</sub></font>]][[Special:Contributions/Jey|<font color="purple"><sup>°</sup></font>]]''' 20:34, 19 October 2006 (GMT)

:Nice work, you two. I think they are excellent templates with which to consider moving forward on a remade version of the Main Page. Since I agree with Gruen in that we don't need to do everything like Wikipedia (and we don't anyway), I'm thinking we'd be better off building a main page that suited our needs, and took the best principles off the Main Page at Wikipedia.

:The thing is though, the point behind mine is not to match wikipedia's, but the fact the main page should not be almost entirely on how to get started, and I feel that the pagecount should not be at the very bottom. --'''[[Swilatia|<font color="red">sw</font>]][[User:Swilatia|<font color="green">il</font>]][[User Talk: Swilatia|<font color= "yellow">at</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Swilatia|<font color="blue">ia</font>]]''' 11:41, 26 October 2006 (GMT)

:Yeah, those are both very nice. I'm slightly partial to Swilatia's because it doesn't leave an "empty box" of whitespace on the upper right of my screen (I run at a 1680x1050 resolution), but tweaking Jey's to fix that wouldn't be too difficult. However, I would prefer the notice about getting started to be a bit more prominent on Swilatia's - fewer confused new users means less administrative work. --[[User:Goobergunch]]|[[User talk:Goobergunch|?]] 16:47, 26 October 2006 (GMT)

what happened to my page? South Nashville?(unsigned comment left by User South Nashville)
+
 
+
^ [[South Nashville]] is right there... Is that it? [[User:John|John]] 04:59, 9 February 2007 (GMT)
+
 
+
hmm, yeah...mozilla is acting weird. It came up on IE but mozilla is redirecting me to the front page. I didn't sleep well I thought I had lost my main page =). Backing it up now...
+
 
+
:I'm on IE and I've been constantly redirected to the Main Page. Some sort of bug. It seems OK now. [[User:Aridd|Aridd]] 17:14, 9 February 2007 (GMT)
+
 
+
I've spoken too soon. It's been happening on and off since. When I try to access a page, any page, it sends me to the Main Page instead. Weird. [[User:Aridd|Aridd]] 21:09, 9 February 2007 (GMT)
+
 
+
::Same here (Firefox). On and off: sometimes it goes straight to the main page, once it tried to redirect but Firefox said something about "impossible". But we're able to edit here, which has to count for something...I'll see if IE is any better.--[[User:Ember Nickel|Ember Nickel]] 21:17, 9 February 2007 (GMT)
+
 
+
:::IE slower, but doesn't redirect.--[[User:Ember Nickel|Ember Nickel]] 21:23, 9 February 2007 (GMT)
+
The page isn't redirecting properly
+
 
+
     
+
I get this error: "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
+
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." The url in the address bar switches from whatever page i was trying to go to the main page. so yeah clear cookies i guess? [[User:John|John]] 22:56, 10 February 2007 (GMT)
+
 
+
I get that error too sometimes, mostly when using the NSWiki search box up by the address box. I also get the redirection to main page bug. It seems that some pages do it more than others. [[Talk:Nation codes]] is giving me trouble currently. I use Firefox, but in IE7 it seems to work...--<font color="green">[[User:Kedalfax|Ked]]</font>|<font color="red">[[User_talk:Kedalfax|talk]]</font>|<font color="red">[[Kedalfax|fax]]</font> 19:47, 11 February 2007 (GMT)
+
 
+
The "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." thing also comes up when I just normally open up the main page. Perhaps the main page is also trying to redirect to the main page. It certainly looks like something that will never be completed. --'''[[Swilatia|<font color="red">sw</font>]][[User:Swilatia|<font color="green">il</font>]][[User Talk: Swilatia|<font color= "yellow">at</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Swilatia|<font color="blue">ia</font>]]''' 12:40, 12 February 2007 (GMT)
