Talk:Main Page/Latest update

This template has one purpose, and one purpose only: To allow the regular user to update the latest update listed on the Main Page (to be decided!) without actually editing the Main Page (which is protected). The fact that the date is embeded into a template should make it somewhat harder for vandals and spambots to find it and screw it up. Game updates are usually handeled by experienced users and admins. Those shouldn't have a problem. --Tetris L   04:58, 11 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Maybe I should explain my intention behind "latest update" some more. I added it to Main Page/editcopy because I visit the Main Page about 32.743 times a day. I'd find it nice if there was a little heads-up right on the main page for new updates being released, without having to check Game updates. So far, I usually learn about new updates via the GWG forums or in-game, when I see an EXE download. I'd rather learn from GuildWiki. --Tetris L [[Image:TurningL sml.gif]]  05:10, 11 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Heh, I visit the Main Page about 0.32743 times a month. I usually learn about new game updates via Special:Recentchanges.  Different strokes for different folks. d-:  -PanSola 05:17, 11 May 2006 (CDT)


 * So... how would anyone figure out they are supposed to find Main Page/Latest update and edit it? You might want to add instructions on the main page, and then we'll make sure spam bots don't vandle that article... -PanSola 05:19, 11 May 2006 (CDT)
