[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: http://www.the-realms.org/ http://www.mythdrannor-lotd.com/forum/index.php http://www.alandfaraway.org/
Avlis Wiki
- Remove the ads frome the "toolbox" on the side of this page and put them in their own "Sponsors" box just like the "advertizement" box on NWN Wiki http://www.nwnwiki.org/Main_Page
- Change the top banner add so it isn't overlapped by the wiki
- Add a "Donations" link in the "navigation" box just below "Random Pages" and above "Help".
- (something like the links "navigation" box here [1] and [2])
- so we can create a page similar to this ... and add some of the ads there.
- Add interwiki links for
- NWNWiki
- NWN2Wiki
- The Gray Waste (wiki)
Avlis Website
- Make "The World Wiki" lable (on the home page http://www.avlis.org/portal.php) a link to the avlis player wiki main page http://www.avlis.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
- Add a "button" (something that would make a new player want to press it) link to the getting started page.
Wish list
- Fantasy entry:
Use a touched up screenshot with lots of doors and passageways to click on to go to various key parts of the site ... (getting started, the forum, the wiki ... )
- add a fantasy style
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.
