:With regards to the first proposal about notifying visitors of recent edits, we can place a compact version of [[Special:RecentChanges]] (of, say, the latest 10 edits) on the landing page. This works better and it does not require users to manually update to show what has been recently updated. | :With regards to the first proposal about notifying visitors of recent edits, we can place a compact version of [[Special:RecentChanges]] (of, say, the latest 10 edits) on the landing page.

:As for the "Official News", I like the concept of "small news" and "big news". We can most definitely separate the "small" and "big" news with a visible dividing line, just like in the image you attached. However, I don't think the videos and images in the "Official News" box should be included, because they don't look nice when viewed in mobile theme. One thing to note: [[Main Page/News/Community|"Community News"]] (and [[Talk:Main Page/News/Community|its submission page]]) was essentially "small news". Its intended purpose is for the greater Halo community and not to be limited only to the wiki community.

Anyway, we could still make use of the submission page for "small news" submissions and revive the "Community News". And yes, this can and should be incorporated in the landing page. I'll whip up a working model some time today. | ||
:Also, to clarify one thing about the video: videos featured are randomised and never fixed (unless you have not cleared your browser's cache). So, you shouldn't see just one video every time you visit the landing page. The wiki has [[Halopedia:Featured/Video|a submission page for videos]]; the main issue is that users rarely submits them on that page. Unless the wiki receives constant submissions, I think the randomisation should stay to make the landing page ''looks'' fresh. If it receives updates, then the randomisation goes and videos will be fixed by the most recent submission. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 00:33, 9 November 2014 (EST) | :Also, to clarify one thing about the video: videos featured are randomised and never fixed (unless you have not cleared your browser's cache).
