Forum:CT:Adding FAQ to main navigation

Forums > Consensus track archive > CT:Adding FAQ to main navigation

This page is an archive of a community-wide discussion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made in the Senate Hall or new Consensus Track pages rather than here so that this page is preserved as a historic record. The result was add a link to the main FAQ page beneath "Help" in the navigation section of both MonoBook and Monaco, per the Snowball Clause. jSarek 06:20, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to propose, quite simply, that we add a link to the main FAQ page beneath "Help" in the navigation section of both MonoBook and Monaco. Besides being a good source for newcomers, it would also help to eliminate many unwanted Senate Hall threads, such as Forum:SH:Signatures, Forum:SH:How do you make a signature?, etc. Implementation would just involve adding one line to both MediaWiki:Monaco-toolbox and MediaWiki:Sidebar. —Xwing328(Talk) 01:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

No, keep as is

Discussion

  • Where ought we put it in the sidebar? jSarek 17:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
    • I'd say either directly below "Help" so it's easy to point out, or directly below "About Wookieepedia" because that's where it makes the most logical sense. Wildyoda 15:54, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
      • Right below "Help", like in my description above. The two seem to go well together. —Xwing328(Talk) 03:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
