Joe Beaudoin Jr.: Created.

Created.

New page

The following proposal is for the redesign of the sidebar.

I propose that the sidebar be redesigned to prevent people from going astray, since people have commented on getting lost in the depths of the Wiki.

There will be an increased focus on linking to the portals from the sidebar, as well as a menu

Therefore, the sidebar will be redesigned similar to the following...

== Redesign Sidebar #1 ==

(Imagine that the bullets are boxes, with the first-level bullets being the header and the second-level bullets being the links.)

* Navigation
** Main Page
** News
** Blog

* Outreach
** Contact the Chiefs
** Submit Corrections (This'll lead to a form where people can submit corrections, which will be added to a Wiki page... I just need to do some tinkering behind the scenes to make this work. But basically how this works is that a new namespace, named "Tickets", will be editable by anonymous users using the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NamespacePermissions Namespace Permissions] extension.)

== Community links ==

As for the "Community" link box, those links will be on the top fold of the page, like on [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]].
