New layout of Main Page
I think we're ready for a vote on the different Main Page options. From what I see, the following alternates have been linked into the above discussion.
 * Vote on new layout of main page, from Talk:Main_Page. Result: User:Barek/Main Page wins.
 * 1) Keep the current Main Page design Main Page
 * 2) PanSola's draft: Main Page/editcopy2
 * 3) Barek's draft: User:Barek/Main Page
 * 4) Xeeron draft #1: User:Xeeron/main page
 * 5) Xeeron draft #2: User:Xeeron/main page Barek
 * 6) Nunix draft (needs fleshing out) User:Nunix/mprdx Because it's very rough, here is a recap of Nunix' description of the concept: "Each box-heading would become its own portal page. I think still having a "table of contents" page like this one is fine, but it'd be nice if it wasn't the first thing you see."

So, lets tally the votes and see how the community feels on the changes (if any)

 * 7) Other (specify):
 * 8) Need more time for other concepts:

Vote on the exact title of builds to stop renaming of build articles. From User_talk:Xeeron. Result: Option 2 wins

2 was what I initially started with (and grace did now), 4 is what I did inbetween. Hmmm quick vote? (till 24th of feb. please) --Xeeron 03:26, 18 February 2006 (CST)

I'm good with 2, and prefer 4. Shandy 18:44, 20 February 2006 (CST)
 * I'm good with 2 or 4, no preference over either. --Rainith 18:49, 20 February 2006 (CST)

First choice 1, second 4 22:52, 25 February 2006 (CST)

Individual fansite articles or single article?
RESULTS: Winner: Have a single fansite article. Since we're linking to the official ArenaNet list at the fansite article, the other issues above don't require a vote. The only open question is if we want articles such as photics.com and guildwarsguru.com to exist with redirects to the fansite article. --Barek 06:24, 6 March 2006 (CST)
 * Each fansite receives its own article.


 * Have a single fansite article.
 * 1) Barek
 * 2) Gem
 * 3)  (just a plain list, similar to ANet's list. No advertising.)
 * 4) Karlos: the article should describe what a fan site is, then link to ANet's list.
 * 5) Shandy
 * 6) Stabber, also think it should just link to Anet's list.
 * 7) Gares Redstorm, agree with Karlos. A short description of what a fansite is, more specifically what an official/elite fansite is(all facts, no opinions), then link to ANet's List. Something like Salvage Item 1. Definition and 4. List(link).
 * 8) JoDiamonds  Add me to the pile.  Seems like a landslide vote, here.
 * 9) 130.58 General info and a link to ANet's list (better and less judgmental than maintaining our own).
 * 10) Lunarbunny
 * 11) Rainith
 * 12) LordKestrel Simple link, nothing more.
 * 13) Ishmaeel One sentence. One link.


 * No reference to fansites except when linking to information relevant to an article.
 * 1) Ishmaeel No need for a single fansite article that contains a plain list and/or link to Anet's page either. Fansites are not specific to GW and saying a GW Fansite is a site made by and for GW fans is...(fade to silence). This should suffice for everybody out there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fansite.
 * For what it's worth, I think it's worth having at least a token page to keep people from putting up new pages. They'll at least find *something* and hopefully understand that's what there is, and not try to reinvent the missing wheel. --JoDiamonds 03:50, 4 March 2006 (CST)
 * Ya, OK. That makes sense. --Ishmaeel 08:16, 4 March 2006 (CST)
 * Other (please insert description).
