Revision as of 12:35, March 31, 2012
I have made three new possible designs for the main page. All are pretty similar with a few differences as people generally liked the design I made first. I am therefore opening up a vote for the main page design.
Contents
Rules
- Voters are allowed one vote each and only one design can be voted for.
- Any sockpuppet voting will result in that user's votes getting disqualified.
Vote
Current main page
- I like it as it is, for now. |

- I prefer the current main page opposed to the others, although I like the idea of a new main page. DaRanger (Talk) 21:35, 30 March 2012 (EDT)
- It's great how it is. --Wk (talk) 02:45, 31 March 2012 (EDT)
- Mainly I like the layout as it is, although putting the links to the other wikis at the top is a good idea. --Nick97 (talk ~ contribs) 12:44, 31 March 2012 (EDT)
- I genuinely like both layouts, but the current main page is more suited to my interests. In my honest opinion, main pages should always put the topic of the wiki first (In this case, The Simpsons) and wiki affairs last. On the three redesigns, they're all kind of mixed in together (Such as the Simpsons Wiki Network box at the top and the Featured Picture down at the bottom, away from the rest of the Featured boxes), whereas the current main page layout is far more balanced. I think ultimately, this sort of layout is going to attract more users than the redesigns. But with that said, I do like the color scheme of the third design and I like how it removes the white gap currently present on the bottom of the main page.

First redesign
- Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:15, 30 March 2012 (EDT)
Second redesign
Third redesign
- Didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would.
(Talk - Contribs.) 09:14, 30 March 2012 (EDT) - Definitely this one, don't like how squashed the quotes/on this day part looks on the other two. Josegiraffio 09:25, 30 March 2012 (EDT)
- Agree with Josegiraffio.--Cook879 13:43, 30 March 2012 (EDT)
- I agree. WebkinzMania 15:50, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Comments
- The reason I thought we need a new main page design is for a couple of reasons. The current one has a now defunct colour scheme. Two of the new ones I designed use the same colours as our templates. Also, the two columns are different sizes and keep changing depending on the content in the boxes. This looks somewhat ugly and unprofessional. Hence in my designs, it is all one size. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.)☆ 18:20, 30 March 2012 (EDT)
- It's quite funny that Solar should vote for the third option. I asked him to make it, but he was reluctant. --Wk (talk) 02:45, 31 March 2012 (EDT)
- The first time I did that sort of thing, it looked bad. I tried it again and improved some sizing things and it looked quite a bit better that time round. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 07:49, 31 March 2012 (EDT)
