A Suggestion
I know this is the main page... But shouldn't its discussion page be purely for discussion on the main page itself? I'm talking about all our stuff on layouts and things. Really, from looking at how others have done this... This kind of thing is suppose to go on Community Portal page. I prepose we move all this there, otherwise we're wasting this pages discussion page on stuff not related to it and the the Coummunity portal page itself. It will make life easier in the longrun, if we keep general edit discussions and layouts there.

BTW... We have just Chopper's page to go. I'm doing that now, after that all the pages will require are some quick cleanups and we'll have our first set of finished and sparkling pages. ;) One-Winged Hawk 17:10, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I've moved the talk concerning the wikia as a whole to the community portal talk page. Sigmasonic X 02:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Storylines
Are you also going to add a Story-Arc section?

--You mean like tht Mini-arcs on the titles pages? there really should be articles about those, since they are part of the story canon.

BF202

=Fansite= And thus, the consensus is Marines. I am never one to violate a consensus, but one thing is still bothering me. Wikis are encyclopedias, but this one behaves more like a fansite and its users moe like rabid fans than writers of an encyclopedia. Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, uses the literal translation of 海軍 (Navy) as opposed to 海兵隊 (Marine), which Oda has never spelled it as. Bon Clay/Bon Kurei, Arabasta/Alabasta, Lucci/Rucci, and Jyabura/Jabra work either way, so, no beef, but Kaigun and Kaiheitai cannot be flip-flopped. Also, you insist on using "Marines", plural, which Oga has never spelled it as. He has only spelled it as 海軍 and as MARINE, singular. So it is either the Marine, no "s", or the Navy, that is, if this was truly intended to be an encyclopedia. I have no prejudice against the users here, but they seem altogether more aggressive and angry than on other wikis. Take joekido for example. I sympathize with him after reading his story, but the only thing he seems concerned with is either making this site better than, or otherwise totally copying, Arlong Park. That guy who insulted Wikipedia and that other guy who said the fans know more than those who do reasearch are no better. So tell me, is this an encyclopedia, or a fansite. Sorry for wasting your time, Rodtheanimegod4ever 01:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * This is early stages right now everything is work in progress. Our progress is slow though due to the lack of editors here (there are about 8 whereas wikipedia has many).  Where do you get the idea we're agressive?  we have had a few desputes here previously, but we're all a nice bunch once you to get to know us.  Right now I'm trying to get Project Wikipedia Rescue underway so all the info there is over here by next Friday.  Its due to the problems on wikipedia.  This isn't a fan site, but we're slow progressing thats all.  Give us a couple of months and everything will be different (I can ensure you).  One-Winged Hawk 08:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The truth, if you are just here from Wikipedia to "help" us we don't need your help. The truth is we ARE One Piece fans trying to build a proper place to keep One Piece information. MARINE is jsut what is written on their signs, which when romanized wouldn't be plural, plus it's showing it's association, which is is a MARINE vessal, a MARINE, uhh, soldier which is A Marine. I keep having to tell people, it's a literal translation, not a perfect translation, also foreign countires have a Marine Corp similar to the Japanese Navy, and knowing Oda he did this on purpose since he likes other cultures. Also the Navy article on Wikipedia has changed, but I dunno for how long. Cody2526 09:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

My page layout plan: Part 2
The same Joekido in October gave the main page many category entry and now he's fixing it again to make it look like any common Wikia. I had successfully insert the navigation bar and the One Piece Universe bar at the bottem. Soon I will create tamplates for Do You Know, Featured page, news articles and a quote articles to make the page high quaility and common. Joekido

Page Bug?
I have no links on the left coloumn on this page... Is this a bug anyone? One-Winged Hawk 22:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Wait I get it... Joekido, that new layout is cauing the page to go wierd in my browser, those links start after the page layout ends, they strench down the page. I don't know if it does the same for you + others.  I think if anyone is getting it you need to relook at it. One-Winged Hawk 22:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * A quick experiment on this page revealled the Template is the cause of the problem. Odd because on its own page, there is no problem, nor is there a problem when its not on this page.  Joekido, if you can't solve this I will try and solve it for you in the couple of days, it can't stay like this.


 * I'm baffled by it myself... I'm leaning towards saying 'start again from scratch'. You have some bugs in this table, the coding for it is arkward at best.  I don't want to interfer without your premission on this note, beyond a couple of simple coding fixes I've already done.  But if this can't be solved fast restart from scratch may be the only option and one of us is going to have to step in to aid you if need be.


 * Try rereading the tables page on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table One-Winged Hawk 23:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Really? It's was going crazy? "sigh" I'll try my best to fix it. You may help if you know better

Joekido

Wookiepedia has the similer bug and yes I used some code from that site olny to give me the example. And I tell you I'm not an wikicode expert but I will check the link you post to learn more. If you know better and want to start at the strech, that's fine because I need help. Go head and do what you want if you know how to fix it.

Joekido


 * Hmmm.... You COULD do a test and see if that template works on another page... It *may* be a bug linked to this page alone. If it works on another page, then I have another idea.  Make this main page a "intro" page and then have the main directory list using a link from this page to it.


 * So instead of:


 * Main pages -> other pages


 * It would be:


 * Intro Page (formerly main page) -> Main directly page -> other directories.


 * If it works, its fine and you wouldn't have to start from scratch. One-Winged Hawk 08:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Temporay revert
Okay I've had to revert the page while Joekido fixes that template. Joekido, can you supply some details here on what exactly you want? I can help if I know what you want to achieve. I don't know if I can cure that templates problem though, but I can try if you can't work it out yourself. One-Winged Hawk 21:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I will tell you excatly what I want and you can do the codes but befor you set them you tell me if the tamplates are done so I can inspect it before we can release the tamplates.

We need these:


 * Very top-center, must be a bus yellow color and red text

Width: 20%

Hight: 20%


 * Should be on the top-left of Mainpage-nav. The background should be bus yellow and red text

Width: 20%

Hight: 20%


 * Should be on the lowered centered. Background and text are the same and we need to be able to insert picture of the subject

Width: 80%

Higth: 80%


 * Should be left-bottem of the featured page with the same background and text color

Width: 80%

Hight: 80%


 * Should be on the right-bottem of the featured tamplates and the result is the same. You can restart it and try again with an fresh wiki code.

Width: 80%

Hight: 80%


 * Should be at the very bottem of the main page, at the bottem of Mainpage-opu and DoYouknow tamplates and should be at the the center

Width: 90%

Hights: 20%

Ask me of you have any questions and when your done, let me know so I can inspect frist. Thanks.

Joekido

The laszt section is confusing... Whoas what happened there Joekido? O.o'

Simple, it's where we announce the release of the new chapters, or what happens to Oda or any situation in Shuiesha or the new episode Toei released or what ever happen to the production crew or any activies happening in this site or when Viz released the new Volumes or when a new Japanese Volume is released or whenever happens to 4Kids or what happens to the 4kids One Piece Production crew or what happen to One Piece around the world

For example:

DEC. 18, 2006: One Piece chapter 439 released

More example:

(Shuiesha annoced One Piece Crossover) (4kids to stop dubbing One Piece?) (Greece cancels One Piece) (Oda fallen Ill?)

Joekido

Test Run
Okay! I'm giving Joekido's layout test run for one week since no one wants to discuss it. Its a temp. thing - I'll be wanting opinions at the end of the week on whether people like it or not. No opinion = I'll be breathing down your throat to know why.

If everyone is fine, it stays, is everyone hates it - it goes. There is still room for adjustments so if everyone is happy with it, I'll add some stuff then. But only then.

Okay here it goes! One-Winged Hawk 21:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * If reverted, old version can be found here:


 * Just so we don't loose our place. One-Winged Hawk 21:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I really like the layout of it, I think it looks really nice. One thing I really, really don't like about it, though, is the color. That's far too much of a bright color for the front page. Something lighter would be much better... Maybe something more neutral, like a light blue/purple/green would look fine? I don't know exactly, but the color really bothers me. ^^;; Other than that, though, I really like it. ^^ --Murasaki 23:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm gonna let it sit here for a day before editing the colour. But I'll take it into mind.  I'm waiting to see if anyone else says the same thing.  :/ One-Winged Hawk 23:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

New layout
Well this has satisfied us for roughly 3 months now. As a starter main page, it was great. But its time we let this one go and try something thats:


 * Easier to adjust
 * Looks generally better
 * Easier to update
 * Decide the pros and cons of this one and move them over to a new one.

We need to all express some ideas on this matter. This is the first page everyone sees when they enter the site.


 * 1) Firstly, the main content part needs adjusting. I'm not saying loose this but this mode of travelling page to page is now redundant.  We should collasps the pages linked around and recreate a better system.
 * 2) The Did you know section is really handy to put some points and info across, definately keep it.
 * 3) Pictures? We have two. I'd like to see a moving image somewhere.  But thats me. It just looks spiffy.
 * 4) Featured article. Great idea, however some problems.  For one no one ever changes it.
 * 5) generally updates. Okay every Sunday, the first thing that needs to be done is this page needs to be updated.
 * 6) Quote of the day - I'd loose this
 * 7) Ads. Yeah sure we have the ads to the right, but what about our other ads?  Okay we NEED to inter link to other One Piece sites.  I know a lot of sites list somewhere on them a ad section but we don't have any.
 * 8) Wikipedia. Currently the only link we have is a one text link at the bottom I put in just to say "yeah it exists".

My thoughts. Since I'm not doing anything over Easter I'd like to tackle this problem most of all. One-Winged Hawk 08:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm going to renew this discussion since it never happened... I've asked Jokeido if he'll be kind enough to design us a new one, but he doesn't seem to. So I'm going to have design it.  Designing main pages is not my sepciality, fixing them the best I can is... :/


 * So I'll begin today, if everyone can throw things by me I'll keep this discussion going. One-Winged Hawk 08:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Some suggestions I guess.


 * As little red links as possible. They kinda don't look nice on a Main Page.


 * A different color scheme perhaps. The yellow background red text is good for small bars but it's not exactly good for a main page. Maybe try some colors related to pirates or the ocean. It's doesn't nessesarily need to be black and white or blue to be related.


 * A big sign on top saying "Spoiler Warning" and stuff. It's hard for some pages to have a spoiler warning tag like Dragon's. I mean his full name alone spoils everything.


 * A better selection of Featured Articles. We may have to treat our feautured articles like a store keeper treats his merchandise. A store keeper would always place his best wares on display rather than his worst. That way it would attract more customers even all he has is junk. The same goes for our articles.


 * These is all I got for now.Mugiwara Franky 12:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm... With featured articles, going by the "several artivcles" thing... How about this - A character, a place, a Devil Fruit, A crew/organisation and one other page. Thats 6 featured articles and just about every type opf article we have. One-Winged Hawk 16:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

=Featured article=

Uhm,you all DO know we had the Gin article as a featured one for about a month or two (if not more).I believe more featured articles would be nice.User:New Babylon


 * Er well see... Erm... I'm kinda sort... Suppose to be working on the main page (hides). But your welcome to change it until then.  You can retrieve the piccy from the character guides on this page: Characters


 * Er... I better finish that main page this week! ^-^'  One-Winged Hawk 20:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * ..........Well? User:New Babylon (a 15 day week.How interesting)


 * LOL, sorry I keep getting busy. Okay a finished version of the main page is now up.  Two minor things that need to change about it:


 * Yellow top banner needs replacing with another just like it (will do that after this week if this is alright).
 * Contents and "did you know" - The situation with them is I'm putting redoing them on hold to see if everyone is fine with this for now.


 * On contents and Did you know... Listen. I need some help here.  I just need a list of things we should and should not include.  One-Winged Hawk 10:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

=Featured article V.2=

Hello.Im here to bring up the ever-popular question about changing th featured article,witch is the same for a few weeks now.And I know that It'l be OWH or AE to answer me,cause no one else here does (meaning on the main page talk page).I dont know how to change theese things and I dont think almost anyone here CAN. So,a litle candidate for the article:

Donquixote Doflamingo .I think Gin's doesnt exceed Dolfamingo's too much in lenght of importance.

User:New Babylon

Seeing this reminds me on how... I'm a week behind... Due to internet probs (still not fixed, but at an acceptable level to get back to editing). I'll put up instructions, in thoery this should be updated every sunday:


 * 1) Go to template and open up in edit mode.
 * 2) Look for the correct picture on the Characters page in one of the guides (read italic text).
 * 3) Copy+paste it onto the templates current picture. This is the hard part.  The rest is easy.
 * 4) As for text, thats usually just a copy+paste of the first few lines of the articles page. End it was "..." to imply there is more to read.
 * 5) The "read more" is just the characters page link, so replace the current one with the new one.

Its actually simplier then it seems. Once you've done it correctly once, future ones shouldn't be a problem. :) One-Winged Hawk 11:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=Your WERY OWN Picture-Guy= Hello.As you have noticed,I have uploaded over 50 images.Regard me as you semi-oficial picture uploader.If there is a pic mising ,then tell me and ill try and find it-most of them are on the wikipedia,but for those that arent I go to the Simple Gallery,or a german anime screenshot page.However,I have problems, because I have not been able to find any pages with the screencaps of episode 151 and for the curent episodes- witch is not SO bad,but it only means I'l have to get the screenshot from the manga.I WILL but you will have to understand that at times the images may be a bit low quality,depending on the scan.

To get back to the point-report a mising image/pic/flag and Im on my way.Just put it into my talk page with the title "Picture Request 1(and following numbers)".

(PS:This is in the community caffé too,but as I wanted someone to read it........)

User:New Babylon


 * Well... We should really have a picture for each chapter/episode. Some already have images around the site so in a few cases, just copy and paste it here.  But others... You need an image.  Fancey that task? One-Winged Hawk 15:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

=Please Read= I'd like the community to read this. Thanks. Moonstone Alchemist

=New template look=

I hope you like it.If you dont Ill turn it back to normal.

User:New Babylon

Main page overhaul
Okay I've added the new main page layout. A little note, the contents and "did you know", Jowkido wants these seperate but I have to keep the tamplates roughly the same so they remain "equal" as far as height goes. On that note I'll change that tomorrow (I'm busy, beyond a few things today). I know I have time to attempt that tomorrow.

It was intended to be seperate but I wanted the two bits to be about equal, its hard to get those the same. I need to work that part out, I think I know how, so don't worry, I spotted some coding on wikipedia that can solve that. One-Winged Hawk 15:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Side note: On the note of the contents page, I tried to match the contents listing into 4 groups of three occurding to their closeness.  So since the story is found with the anime, manga and movies and grouped them together.    The next line is the "basics" of the OP world, so locations, history and animals.  The next is about the ppl in it so culture, arsenal, technology.  And lastly, things related to the series but not part of its stories, so merchandise, VAs and international front. I think it makes it eaiser to handle slightly, but I don't know what ppl's opinions of that are of classifying them like this. One-Winged Hawk 15:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't like it
Angel, I'm sorry to say but I don't like that design IMO and I would love revert it but knowing you, your as stubborn as I'am so I'll say that the site picture needs to be put in, the "Do you know" section needs to be on seprate table, the stat bar and navi bar was suppose to be at the top. However I will revert it until you fix it. Please don't revert it back. I understand that you're stressful, yet please don't let it hinder you.

Joekido 22:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I am sorry... But I have to speak my mind here.


 * The big orange banner (which needs to have an image of sort added onto it, note its name is "temporary") replaces the icon. The "Did you know" and that is going to be done TOMORROW!  I know you don't like it, but I'm not trying to cater for a single person here.  As for the icon, we don't actually need it anyway.  When the site logo is finished that will be all we need.


 * Look, we've got a main page no one has really done anything to in anys. I'm working on fixing up a professional looking one to replace the poorly done one we had that gives a bad impression about the organisation on the site.  I'm not getting the fed back I need here so I'm working blind, I can't just write this to suit one person anymore (you).  If I'm trying my best, I'm trying my best.  I figured "Get someone done" so we had something to work with.


 * I work on a lot of testing, your reverts annoy me, I don't get the chance for everyone to see what I've done so far and react good or bad to it. One-Winged Hawk 23:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The mainpage looks better than what it was before I guess. I guess you can call it a work in progress. Anyway, it's best to test things and then improve them later if needed. Also, it maybe a good idea to ask other users directly to give their opinions on this. This, like the site's logo, really needs some attention.Mugiwara Franky 01:55, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Now this is the response I wanted to hear. Okay, I'll ask when I try to seperate the did you know and contents section later.  :) One-Winged Hawk 08:10, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Before I forget... On the big orange banner, I was thinking, if we get the logo subject sorted the best step might be to design that banner to match the logo. Its just an idea... One-Winged Hawk 08:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll just cut some slack here and let Angel handle it.

Joekido 02:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Its amazing what half an hour peace at home and a nearly asleep state of mind can achieve. There you go, even managed to slot the icon back in. The second part suprised me, but checking over wikitables on wikipedia I managed to work out the best way to get it back in there.  It had caused some problems before.  Which is nice since our main page looks just a little less like a giant orange peel now.


 * Speaking of colours. I did orange for tradional reasons and be cause I didn't know any better colours, but if anyone wants to change it, they are free to do so.  The colours are meaningless to me.  One-Winged Hawk 21:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Cartoons and Comics Footer
The One Piece Wiki is part of the Cartoons and Comics Hub on Wikia. The hubs are trying to get Wikia's entertainment wikis more linked with each other. It's not mandatory, but it would be appreciated if someone could add the footer to the bottom of the Main Page using. It'll look something like this:


 * ~Dantman -local (talk) Sep 15, 2007 @ 23:30 (UTC)


 * Consider it done. One-Winged Hawk 07:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
