[edit] A new look
The front page of this wiki seems very cluttered. With the multiple highlighted articles (there's sorda is no point to that) , almost no categories inside the contents box and the hlping out box is above GT in the news (it really should be the other way around), there needs to be a major overhaul. A good look for the front page would bee the one from the Burnopedia as it uses the space to the fullest. It shows what could be done, and makes me wonder; why dont we do that here?

- I've redone the main page with more links and a new style. What do you think? Kirkburn (talk) 11:48, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
It is looking better, just one thing that has come to mind is that the GT in the news and the whats new at the GT wiki could be combined to make a GT WIki Blog. Big thanks for all the help. Crashbroke23 Gran Turismo Wiki Administration
[edit] Re-orginzation
Now, there is a over abundance of featured articles, it' s a bit too much. Think about it, how many people would vote the multiple times? I know i wouldn't. So, remove the multiple featured articles, leave featured media alongside the featured article though.
Lastly, I noticed that you added Motorsport news at the very bottom, personally, that and the others news things could be combined to lessen the clutter and add a focus to it. Make photos showing which is which in order to allow people to know what we are talking about. Besides, i got multiple sources, for GT news, Motorsport news, and car news in general. The only news I can't really follow, is other languages' GT wiki news. So, do you think that these ideas would be good or not? Crashbroke23 Gran Turismo Wiki Administration
- A month later, I don't think think there is. See, the criteria for an FA is so different between the four main cats that it'd be impossible to tell which one met the requirements for its category best. Still, I'm not gonna do the Jimmy Wales and say my word is gospel. Majority vote: Who wants one FA? --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 20:33, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] For one FA

- exlonox talk Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 19:35, 16 January 2009 (UTC) - that's the way we do it at the Burnopedia and it works quite well

Demoracy rules! The people chose 1 FA. So, one feature article will begin with voting in February, ok? Crashbroke23 Gran Turismo Wiki Administration
- Cool. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 13:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Page protection
IP address's usually attack the main pages of wikia before they start to vandalize the articles. Not only is this a good idea, but it's also recommended on all wikia sites. Blue NinjakoopaTalk 22:03, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Support Page Protection
- I support my idea. Blue NinjakoopaTalk 22:03, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- I support it. Give me a shout if you want me to do it. exlonox talk Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 11:36, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- It needs to be protected regardless of user concerns, since the main page will be the first thing most people see, it's likely that it will be the first thing people vandalize if they wish to do harm with the GT Wikia.

[edit] Multiple Wikia Spotlights
OK, call it dirty, filthy, cheap, whatever, but Pro Wrestling Wiki does it! :D Besides, I've contacted User:JoePlay on this and he said it's allowable. So, here are the pages we'll need:
- Lotus Evora
- GTbyCitroen (obviously)
- Chevrolet Camaro Concept '09 (which already exists, but could use some tweaking]]
- Nissan GT-R
- Art Morrison Chevy Corvette
Remember, anyone's free to pitch in, but we need some images of the cars to go in the Wikia Spotlight logos. Also, since the Chevy Camaro Concept hasn't been officially confirmed to be in, it's subject to deletion. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 13:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
The cammaro concept isn't in any Gran Turismo game though, so why is it a article? It should be deleted. Call me crazy but its true, the page should be deleted. Crashbroke23 Gran Turismo Wiki Administration
- Well, as I said, that remains to be seen. I'm keeping it just in case. If they release the final list and it's not in there, I'll delete. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 19:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Including shows?
User:Elm-39 brought this to my attention. Should we include articles on shows in GT.TV? I just wanted to ask everyone else this before we start another category. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 13:46, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] For show articles
I'm in. Reason is in Comments. Elm-39 - T/C 23:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Comments
I'm just confused because other than the GT TV link, they aren't particularly related to Gran Turismo. Now, if an article could be started on each individual show (as opposed to bits and pieces from shows), I would definitely be for this.
I actually don't have GT5p yet, so I can't say much. Wish I did. ;_; Elm-39 19:06, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, if the outcome is to include shows, it would be to include articles for each series, not episode. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 23:34, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Featured Article-Febuary 2009
OK, time for our first single FA vote. What do you think the candidates should be? --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 12:06, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Main page formatting
Just a heads up... I dropped by the wiki and saw that the main page formatting was whacked (sidebar on top of the main area + sections displaying weird). The problem was that the <div> and <mainpage-column> tags don't get along, so I replaced the divs with table wikicode as you can see in the history. Now everything is showing up where it's supposed to be. =) JoePlay (talk) 02:22, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. exlonox talk Gran Turismo Wiki Administration 19:59, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
