The main page, I knew of for some time, but forgot because of ad block. Even as it stands, it is much better than what I've seen. It's overlapped, it's messed up the bottom six buttons, the  gradient boxes have been stark colors in IE. I was thinking of switching to a two column page, but I want to figure out how to get the effect of a full sized image being the first and only thing that users see right off the bat. It's almost like a shock. Many wikis are clustered with all sorts of info that is easy to lose new users in the sheer amount of info. In contrast, this major picture gathers all attention to one spot, then to intuitive links, then to easy-to-follow vertical info. The issues are the ads, and the mobile view of the site. I just love the simplicity of the look much more than any current idea I have to improve it yet.

I do like the multiple genre buttons that go to portals; that may work well. I was thinking of, within articles, using the infobox template to have info regarding the quick info about the article, editing restrictions and the potential genre navigation. I played with the idea of some common place to have info about how much input a user would like on their ideas, and whether that could help with interwiki navigation (thus: Template:Status). However, with the both under one system, an editor could enter genre info into an infobox, which links to the genre portal, while the info auto-assigns the appropriate category to the page. All of that stuff, I know how to do/probably have done before. In addition, I could add a "browse by" in the top navigation pane once we have some portals created. What is different from what I was thinking (that i like better) is the simplicity of a button link (rather than an illustrated badge e.g. achievements), and the "Portal:" namespace (I was thinking about trying to dress up Categories). I'll think about this more later. I should probably head to bed now. ._.' (*sweatdrop)
