Hi Bugthe. Thanks for replying, even though it's some time after the fact. Stil appreciate your input. However you could've included some constructive criticism. I'm not sure if there are elements you do like, only things you don't. Also, note that the main page that we've created in the sandbox is based on the ideas and input of 3 large contributors of the communtiy, so keep in mind you might potentially be outnumbered in your preferences. I'm taking all of the above things as a suggestion for potential change, and the below notes on those suggestions are formed based on what we discussed with the team while we were making the page.

Custom headers : We could get rid of those and replace them with regular text if the community wants to. Up untill now nobody had commented on them, so they stayed. But we could vote on that.

Intro : I think the header would mess up the color scheme. The intro might be a bit long right now, but all of the other info was at the bottom of the page before so to avoid it getting overlooked, we moved it up. All important info is now in one place, which was actually one of the main goals of this revamp.

S4-Content : There has never been aa last/previous episode on the main page like many wikias. We've had them in the slider, but they've always been outdated. Updating the main page weekly is not something we're used to doing on the wikia. Asides from that, my personal opinion has always been that those were a bit accessive. Idk why, I never really liked them. I'm not sure what you mean by the 'french' part but if you mean to look at the french wikia, I did.

Slider : I'm fine with either direction. But I don't think there should be content in there that rèally needs updating every week.

Content : Can you clarify "explanding the list of notable topics will improve navigation" ? As far as using the navboxes on the main page - it's done by a lot of other wikias. They aren't "designed to be shown seperately on the bottom of pages". They're designed to form a navigation between connected topics. Hence I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be on the main page too. I also don't really see where they'd create repetition? The navboxes or anything alike isn't used anywhere else on the main page?

Community : Like I said before, there's no such intent to only use the navboxes on the bottom of the pages. That said, the navbox that we created there would be placed on the bottom of the respective pages but again I don't see a reason why not to include it on the main page. I think the policies link is clear enough in that navbar too?

Help us out : The help us out section is pretty standard. It's a thirtheen in a dozen-type of box that many wikias put on their main page. I don't know what exactly needs revamping about it? It's just some usefull links for users who want to know where to start.

Special:Community : I'm aware, but that's another project which we could focus on AFTER the main page :)
