Forum:Making this wiki better.

After becoming admin, alongside Wattz, I've decided that I'm going to try my hardest to make this place the best it can be and to make this place good competition for Super Mario Wiki. With this said, let me get into it now:


 * First off, I'd like to thank everyone who supported me for becoming admin.
 * Now, I would like to begin speaking about how to make this wiki better. First, since Jazzi's gone, someone else is now left to change the theme of the site. I can do this when it comes to using the Theme Designer for the new Wikia look, but I cannot program anything for Monobook when it comes to that. We could also request from Wikia to help us out, as they have put in spotlight a few times.
 * I think we should have jobs for each of us, to organize things. Wattz is real good at adding information and templates and such, while I'm better with keeping the pages organized and keeping the wiki's "entertainment" things working (ex. the Glitz Pit or the Featured Article or Reviews or something). This is just an idea, I'm not sure if it will work.
 * We need to revamp the main page. It needs some remodeling. Now, in my sandbox I had created sort of an idea for the main page, but I think I might go back now and do a few things differently, unless you guys like that one so much we should just keep it (highly doubt it, though).
 * Clearly there are stubs in this wiki, and lots of them. And just like it says in the COTM thing and everything, those need to be taken care of.
 * Considering stubs, there are also a lot of pages that aren't yet alive on the wiki. In other words, I'm seeing a lot of red links. So then, we probably are going to want to expand the wiki by adding those pages, as I have noticed that up against other wikis (like SNN and Metroid, for example), this wiki only has about half as many pages as the other gaming wikis do. Don't worry, though, this wiki is also a lot younger than other ones (SNN has been around over 2 years longer than this wiki, so of course they're gonna have more articles). Nevertheless, we need to create those pages.
 * New logo, anyone? I donno... maybe... I keep thinking about it but not so sure...
 * Up against some other wikis, this wiki is not very social (but let's not make it like SNN... that one's too social). I feel that there aren't nearly as many users, and that we need to attract more.
 * And speaking of which, I think that by the time Super Mario 3D Land comes out, we need to make it a good looking page and request to have it on Spotlight.

I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something, but as for now this is what I have to say about making the wiki stronger and better and a good resource for people wanting to know more about Mario.
