Server Speed Issues
Looks like our speed issues are all taken care of. CPU load is right back down where it should be, since we blocked all the HTTP crawlers. Gravewit 12:19, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Main Page organisation still serving?
Noticed some talk over on the community portal that the Main Page might be due for an update. Can I get some opinions on this? I see that we've now got a whole Category:Lore ("now" being a relative term, mind) which is probably worth organising a bit more and linking off the main. What's up there that isn't needed? What -isn't- that's needed? Nunix 19:16, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

I'll probably sound overly critical here, but since you asked.. --Rezyk 22:54, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) The "Stubs" part, which currently points to Skill_stubs, Attribute_stubs and Location_stubs, would be better off pointing to Category:Stub and Category:Stubs instead, as that's more comprehensive.  To take this farther, Category:Stub and Category:Stubs ought to be merged, too.
 * 2) All the links under "Helping Out" could be folded into How to Help.  Based on its relative traffic, this section doesn't deserve being spread so much out on the main page.  Yeah, it's also there for encouraging helping out -- but it's still not that deserving of so much premium space.
 * 3) To be honest, all of the headings "The Game", "General Information", and "Quick Links" have never helped me -- they don't tell me anything about those lists I don't already expect.  "In-Depth Guides" is more descriptive but still somewhat general, when considering what links it covers.  Personally I see those sections as one mass of 22 links to look through.  Looking at those links now, I think some organization along these lines would be much more helpful: Items (5 links), Characters/Creatures (5 links), Adventuring (4 links), Guides (3 links), News (1 link) and something else for the remaining 4 links (Skills, Elite Skills, Conditions, Slang).
