The result of the debate was returned to the top after main page redesign. —Silly Dan (talk) 01:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

It has come to my attention that the Quote of the Day has been moved from its position of prominence on the top of the Main Page and is now at the bottom. Personally I would like to see it restored to its former prominence because the quotes are rather interesting and I always (for the past two days) forget to scroll down to read it.

Move back to the top (centered)

  2. Well, I don't know if that part of the 'pedia is a democracy (could be a whatchamacallit, mofference?), but what the hey Enochf 23:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  3. At least move it up higher so it's visible without scrolling. – Brynn Alastayr 02:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep at the bottom

  1. Having the QOTD at the top takes up too much space (the main page looks neater with it moved down) and takes attention away from more important parts of the main page. Adamwankenobi 02:27, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

  5. --Xwing328(Talk) 23:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC) Much better here

Move to the top of one column (right or left)

  1. Support. Fnlayson 19:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  2. Here's one I agree with. StarNeptuneTalk to me! 19:57, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

  4. Support, but we are going to have to look at limiting the size of the quotes because there is not much space to work with in those columns.–SentryTalk 20:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  5. I can't very well not support this. Havac 21:09, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  6. I think placing it in the right column would be best.--Lord OblivionComlinkSith Emblem 23:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

  8. Needs to be SOMEWHERE where it's easily visible. jSarek 03:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

  10. I think placing it on the left column would make it more visible, judging by the current setup. —Mirlen 02:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  11. Hehe forgot to recast my vote. this seems like a tolerable compromise. Ugluk: Destroyer of RedlinksWhine Here 02:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Abstain

  2. I just plain don't give a damn...and thought that worthy enough to note here. —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 21:53, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments

  • Simple compromise: put it at the top of the column it sits in now. Visible, but not overwhelming as it was previously. Havac 02:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Didn't it used to be at the bottom months and months ago, before it was brought back? --Xwing328(Talk) 23:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
