The vertical arrangement with bullets causes orbiting bodies to be off-center, and adds a ton of whitespace (making the template a lot bigger than it needs to be).

Revision as of 15:45, 23 September 2012

Hey, thanks. I like this game a lot so I want to make it more approachable to new players like minecraftwiki.

By the way, I noticed you removed the tutorial, but I was wondering if it would be possible to include tutorial links somewhere on the pages about planets. I know that most people are visiting those pages to find out the characteristics and locations of them, but the first thing that a lot of people are going to look for when they visit the planet pages is how to get there.

It doesn't have to be right at the top of the page where I put it, but if we added a tiny blurb about it or even just a "See Also" link it might clear up some confusion. What do you think?

-Craig


I think that's a great idea. It would certainly give the "See Also" sections some purpose. For the record, I wasn't trying to be discouraging with my edits, I'm just trying to keep some form of consistency between articles and keep relevant information at the forefront. So please, don't take any edits I may make to revisions as a "Screw off, I own this page". --  Trinexx  ►  20:48, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
