First order of business: I think it is safe to say that the wiki's [[main page|landing page]] requires a facelift. [http://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Forum%3AFeedback_for_wiki_improvement&diff=1069111&oldid=1068979 As Jugus pointed out in another forum], the landing page could be more visually exciting than just plain text and I agree with this assessment. The new design should not be too visually stimulating and, at the same time, not too simplistic or minimalistic (based on current trend with iOS). It should be closer to something in the middle; the best of both worlds. | First order of business: I think it is safe to say that the wiki's [[main page|landing page]] requires a facelift.

[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page Transformers Wiki] has a nifty feature above the search bar on the side that randomises icons that link to notable articles.
