Talk:Main Page

Main Page color?

I'm planning on creating a WiiBrew-like Main Page, but I don't know what color it should be. As far as i can tell, the DSi only comes in black and white, both of which would not be good colors. Any thoughts?

If you can do some type of shade of brown with yellow or white text might be good. I agree that black is not a very good option though. Pinball Wizard 03:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Why not use the same Main Page as WiiBrew but with another logo, it looks and works great also makes the projects connect better. Tigertailz

Pinball Wizard: What's the reasoning behind the brown? I don't really see any connection. If it were to be brown, it should definitely be a light shade. Black text is a must on a website where the entire background is white.

Tigertailz: I don't really think blue should be used again. This wiki's main page should be colored so that it is different from WiiBrew. I plan to keep the same page formatting, though.

Anyways, once I get my admin powers transferred over here from WiiBrew, I'll transfer some templates and start working.

The reasoning behind light brown is for the entire wiki to set it apart from other layouts. i do see your point though, We (you) should stick with something lighter but absolutely different, like you said to distinguish the wikis. I Suggest an uncommon color. Pinball Wizard 01:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I too vote for a similar looking page as Wiibrew--FUNKAMATIC ~talk 14:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

logo contest

since there is only an ugly logo without stating its the dsibrew logo i think there should be a better one. for wiibrew it was a nice startup. Bitflusher 11:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

We can use Xat.com, it's flash chat. Duhow

I know this project just started but are we looking to set up a forum? Pinball Wizard 22:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Wiki

I am having 2 issues that is low priority at the moment but will sooner or later need to be addressed: 1)The wiki takes 5-10 minutes to update from any changes. Not a biggy but Wiibrew used to have the issue for a few weeks then magically fixed itself. 2)I don't know how it works but on the wiibrew wiki you can use the command where the XXXX's represent the video id. Is it possible to get that added onto this wiki? This is very very very low on the list but could become useful. Pinball Wizard 23:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

1. Go into your preferences, click the Misc tab, and check the "Disable page caching" box. That should make the wiki update immediately, as long as you are logged in. It may make loading pages in general slower, though.
2. None of the MediaWiki extensions have been installed on DSiBrew yet (see DSiBrew's extenstion list as compared to WiiBrew's. Hopefully they will be installed soon.

Hope that helps. --Blooper (Talk) 00:48, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah that helps a lot. Now I can feel a little more useful on wiki work with changing things as needed. I figured it was a mediawiki extension. I don't know if you are coming up with a list of needed extensions though and wanted to make sure that the youtube one was at least considered. Pinball Wizard 23:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Logo

Hi i was wondering if you needed a better logo for this site so i wiped one up for you. you don't have to use it but would be awesome if you did.

[Edit] for some reason its not showing. http://dsibrew.org/wiki/Image:DSiBrew.png

I have also made a logo =P I could probably make it nicer over time... --Bg4545 08:14, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
