Twitter Account

The twitter linked on the main page is owned by Erro, isn't it? Shouldn't we delete that, try to distance ourselves from him as much as possible? --Thassil (talk) 13:55, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

I've moved it to my talk page for when/if a new twitter account is made --Jordie0608 (talk) 20:05, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Linking basic guides

I think that instead of useless links like "2014 dev plan" and "wiki statistics" there should be links to often used guides like guide to chemistry, surgery, cooking, construction etc More "niche" guides like virology or genetics can remain on their own pages but important stuff that new players or players looking for quick access to important guides should be included Bay's wiki has this and it's really useful whenever I find myself using it to just be able to instantly go to where I need easily --Miggles (talk) 23:28, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Main_Page_Mockup

I took the liberty of redesigning the Main Page to remove scrolling and fixed pixel widths. I also added the new Mediawiki feature - Gallery with a set mode for the 3 images. This one uses "packed-hover", which shows a caption on mouse-over. I've also simplified the table code and made it easier to read or edit in the future.

Awesome work. Asked permission from MrStonedOne:

Happy to oblige :)
I'll send you guys a forum PM. I have some other things in mind that I'd like to run by you. --Rahlzel (talk) 01:57, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
We probably need new screenshots- two are out of date. Bandit (talk) 08:27, 25 October 2014 (EDT)

"Error Creating Thumbnail"

I've seen this error a few times on the wiki. It's usually caused by having $wgUseImageMagick = true; in the LocalSettings.php. Comment this out or set it to false to fix the problem. In Guide to Atmospherics you'll find an image with this problem. You can use that to verify the fix as needed. --Rahlzel (talk) 06:31, 30 October 2014 (EDT)
