[list=1][*]Add a link on the web site main page to the getting started page on the player wiki http://www.avlis.org/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started_In_Avlis something that looks like a button maybe or just a simple link like I added to the [url=http://www.neverwinterconnections.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewserver/id/632.htm]nwc entry[/url] (to help new players find what they need to get started quickly.)
[*] Add a link on the web site main page to the main page of the player wiki http://www.avlis.org/wiki/index.php Maybe just make the title "The World Wiki" a link (so they seem more connected and it is easier for people to find what they are looking for)[/list]
And if we are changing the website it would be nice to change the main page to something that looks more like you are entering a fantasy world than just another forum (but still has the key functionality)
I thought these were kind of interesting:

Do we have to have the ads on the wiki? It is a bit distracting when searching for something and it is another thing that takes you out of the fantasy.

Also the adds at the top don't seem to work well with the wiki (there is some overlap with the tabs and icon).
 
I would be happy to help add wiki links, crossreferancing and categories for a shopping page as well as adding a donation page were the adds could be featured and explained.
 
Wikiapedia has the donation/Fundraising link (that is on every page) link to this page http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising#Donation_methods
 
NWNWiki (http://www.nwnwiki.org/Main_Page) just has the google adds on the side outside of the toolbox in an advertisment box (They also seem to have fewer total ads). It looks much better that way.

  • 1) Move the ads from the "toolbox" on the side of this page and put them in their own "sponsors" box just like the "advertisement" box on the NWN Wiki and NWN2 Wiki sites. This will keep the "toolbox" uncluttered and make the ads stand out and look a little cleaner. Also it keeps a similar look and feel to the nwn wikies which will help people feel comfy with everything.
  • 2) Change the ad banner at the top of this page so it isn't overlapped by the wiki. The tabs “article discussion edit ..." and the corner "The World of Avlis" icon (when the window is resized) overlap parts of the ad banner.
  • We could attach space to the add banner such that it can't be overlapped by the wiki components.
  • We could move the top ad banner to the bottom of the page
  • We could move the top ad banner to the Community portal and donation pages as wiki objects then protect the pages from being changed. We could also add those pages to links and categories so they are easy to navigate to.
  • 3) Add a "Donations" link in the "navigation" box just below "Random Pages" and above "Help".
(something like the links "navigation" box here [1] and here [2])
so we can create a page similar to this ... and maybe add some of the ads/sponers there.
  • 4) Add interwiki links for
it explains how to add the links here [3] by editing the wiki's mysql database.
this would allow us to seem much more complete also feel more connected with other nwn communities.
