MarioWiki:Maintenance/Main Page

From the Super Mario Wiki

The new Main Page design now has dynamic sections with the raw text in templates. Certain rules are required for updating each template and are listed here – most sections will update based on when information is available.

There are 7 templates in all; the 5 that need to be updated are in their own sections.

If you are interested in helping us often in this aspect, please go to the talk page for sign-up.

Finally, it is assumed that all templates with bullet points for info should contain around ¾-1½ lines per bullet point.

[edit] {{Featured}}

Featured articles are to be rotated every Saturday.

Main Page Rotation

Mario Strikers Charged: current
Wario: on May 17, 2008
King Boo: on May 24, 2008
Dimentio: on May 31, 2008
Mario Kart DS: on June 7, 2008
Luigi's Mansion: on June 14, 2008
Super Paper Mario: on June 21, 2008

[edit] {{Proposal}}

About every 4-6 days, a new active proposal that was recently created (so it will last 4-6 days on the Main Page) needs to replace the old one. If the description is short enough, post it in full, but most likely you'll have to truncate it with a piped link of

'''[[MarioWiki:Proposals#''Section Name''|(more...)]]'''

Proposer & Deadline are required in full.

[edit] {{News}}

This is the raw text for Mario & Nintendo news. In 3 lines, the info should be about a mix of the following:

new developments & details for upcoming games
release dates
new games just heard about
announcement that a game has just come out

however, it is NOT:

a place for every Smashbros.com update. Please only include major updates (i.e. a newcomer or something to do with the Mario series). If you're not sure if a particular update is worthy, ask at the talk page here (not Template talk:News) first.

The first line of info should be accompanied with an image, no bigger than 100px thumbnailed. Please link and bold bold the character or game relating to the subject of each line, so guests & users alike are attracted to see more information in the article itself.

Whenever a worthy piece of news is revealed, it should replace an older piece asap.

[edit] {{Recently}}

This is similar to News, but for Wiki news. This time it should be a mix of:

new statistical milestones
user promotion(s)
new major PipeProject(s)
major change(s) or addition(s), possibly as a result of proposal(s)

NOT:

newest user
user of the month

This can also be updated at will when any of these occur. No images, however.

[edit] {{DidYouKnow}}

This is the hardest template to update – it consists of three interesting facts from the current week's new articles. These facts should be from a variety of series (i.e. not every fact should be from the Donkey Kong Country series or Super Smash Bros. series). Additionally, the new article should not be about a subject from an unreleased game, as these articles are filled with speculation. The subject of each fact needs to be bolded and linked like News. The updater will have to look through this week's new articles every Saturday to find the facts (DPL code: credit to Wayoshi (Talk)):
