Village pump addition

Can someone add a link to the Village pump? I would, but I can't figure out the code... –Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:42, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

• Done - clumsily. :) -- Philippe 03:55, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

• Heh, thanks. :) –Juliancolton | ^Talk 04:04, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

General issues

The current sidebar has a few issues:

• it isn't using appropriate syntax, which is breaking translation
• it's being used in a dynamic way (including recent news, for example), when sidebars aren't really intended for that purpose (you'll end up fighting cache tooth and nail)
• it contains links that (I imagine) very few people care about

Personally, I'd like to see this wiki completely locked and abandoned, but if it's going to remain active, the sidebar ought to not suck. --MZMcBride 05:31, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Capitalize

We should capitalize "news" to be in line with the other sections. Also, I don't think that the Main Page would count as news so how about right after SEARCH? ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 12:04, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

The word "news" doesn't show up, so we could just leave it. --Hydriz 08:24, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
