Dates

Should dates on articles have the rd, th, nd, and st, or should we not do that on articles? Alertfiend - Warning, my comments may appear passive aggressive. (Converse) 21:47, 3 June 2016 (EDT)

I don't think so, I don't do it at least. Wikipedia doesn't do it either. --NightHammer^{(talk)(contribs)} 21:51, 3 June 2016 (EDT)

I have noticed a few pages with it, but I do not know if there is a certain occasion one would use it. Oops forgot to sign my comment. Alertfiend - Warning, my comments may appear passive aggressive. (Converse) 23:52, 3 June 2016 (EDT)

Here's a guide. So basically, we don't use it at all. --NightHammer^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:55, 3 June 2016 (EDT)

Per NightHammer, dates don't need those suffixes. Please remove them anytime you see them in an article.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 14:19, 4 June 2016 (EDT)

Navigation section

Hey everyone, I feel like it may be time to update the Main Page navigation, as it's been the same now for a few years. I have two working draft ideas here. Do note the images on layout #2 are merely placeholders for now. Any feedback would be most appreciated, thanks.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 18:44, 27 February 2017 (EST)

Menu page suggestions

I have a few notes that I thought of that should be relatively easy to make or change. All thanks to Spartacus's idea to change the navi bar.

1. Could we perhaps move the "Did You Know?" to the bottom moving up the "Article Improvement Drive". Makes the improvement area more clear so they ye know get done.

2. Small idea, borrowing it off Halo Nation of all places, a Monthly poll. Seems harmless enough.

3. Another idea, a featured image? Might be cool to start that. I mean we have featured everything else, might be cool to have that.

4. Could we perhaps lower the "Welcome back, Reclaimer!" user count from 16 to 12?

5. We need more Featured stuff to be nominated, that is something we can all work on fairly easy enough.-CIA391 (talk) 19:24, 27 February 2017 (EST)

1) I'd like to do that because of it's importance. 2) I don't know whether or not we have the code to do that. 3) A featured image is something I've wanted to for quite a while but have never gotten around to it. It would certainly be a nice addition. 4) That's fine with me. 5) Yeah, it just needs more promotion which is more or less up to the administration team. Thank you for the suggestions!--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 22:38, 27 February 2017 (EST)
