== Wiki Task ID023: Redesign Main page== [[Category:Wiki Task]] === Status: new === === Task Description === '''Aim: Optimize access to the (new and old) content on the wiki.''' The main page has an amazing design (thanks, Chuc!). However, since November 2016, when we implemented this design, a lot of new content was added or modified on the wiki. Also, we have not yet implemented a proper navigation concept for the wiki (see wiki task ID019). With all this in mind, there is no way around not redesigning the main page. However, before we do this, we have to update all wiki pages to consistency and remove redundancy. This also means that pretty much all tasks from [[:Squad Wiki:Community portal#Roadmap|milestones]] 5 to 7 need to be implemented first. This task will '''not include''' the Squad-like color scheme and CSS style - this will not be touched. We only change the layout, structure and content of the main page. See {{Task sheet}} for overview of all tasks. === History === * 2018-06-07: Created this task description here to be able to collect ideas until we actually get started with implementing this task. === Tasks === # Collect ideas on the new design # Create new design mock-ups # Decide on best design (maybe, including community voting) # Implement new design === Step 1: Gathering ideas === * '''Feature article''': Allocate space on the main page to feature a regularly changing "feature article". This way we can higlight important articles, plus give the start page some variety so regular visiters are encouraged to come back more often. * '''Navigation sidebar''' (on the far left side): This should also be changed during the redesign of the main page and be in line with the main contents of the main page and the new navigation concept (see wiki task ID019). * '''Optimize for link previews in Discord/Slack''': When you post a link to the wiki in Discord or Slack, you get a link preview (in Slack, this is called [https://medium.com/slack-developer-blog/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-unfurling-but-were-afraid-to-ask-or-how-to-make-your-e64b4bb9254 unfurling]). Often, for many wiki pages these previews are meaningless. Sadly, also for the main page. Hence, this should be fixed for the main page, if possible also for most/all wiki pages too. * '''Fix scrollbars''': If you are viewing the main page with smaller screen resolution, ugly scrollbars appear for each hub box on the main page. Let's fix it. * '''Squad community news feed''': Do we want to add community news to the wiki? As far as I know, there is no hub for all Squad related news (except Reddit). Doing it on the wiki would allow everyone to contribute to it (with certain rules). If yes, then we need a hub box for the community news on the main page.
