Hi I've been looking at the Wiki and I was wondering if it's possible to add/change a few things. I think if the following changes are implemented it could boost member contribution and help new fans.
{{Discussion Closed|result=Pending.}}
 
i think we should add a portal on the main page for the guilds that play major parts in fairy tail's plot. it should include fairy tail, sabertooth, lamia scale, blue peagsus, quatro cerberus, mermaid heel, raven tail, phantom lord, Crime Sorcière, Oración Seis, Grimoire Heart, and Fairy Tail (Edolas).

'''Add a short synopsis that introduces the series to new fans. For example:'''
{{Neutral}} I don't really think that it would look great if we add another portal. Though maybe the [[Project:Dragons of Design|Dragons of Design]] can think of a way to make it work? xD {{User:B j/Sig3|08:29,6/14/2012}}

<br>Fairy Tail is a manga series written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima. The story centers around the adventures of Natsu Dragneel, a member of the wizard guild Fairy Tail, as he searches the fictional world of Earth-land for the dragon Igneel. During his quest, he makes a bunch of friends and enemies.

'''Spoiler warning'''
Actually, we're going to hold off on this for a while. I plan on having the Dragons of Design POSSIBLY redesign the Main Page. And when we do the redesign we'll add in a guild portal but a guild portal wouldn't look good with the current design. {{User:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Sig8}}15:05,6/14/2012
 
  +
<br>Add a spoiler warning before getting to the featured article section. That way readers don't accidentally read the latest developments in the series.

In my opinion adding a '''Adding a short synopsis that introduces the series to new fans''' is not needed since such intro already exist in the [[Fairy Tail (Series)]] page since that page itself is about the fairy tail series as a whole. Adding it in the mainpage makes it seems that the wiki is only limited to the main manga which already ended and the anime series which is about to end but its actually not since the whole wiki also has infos from other sources such as spinoffs, movies, games and more aside from the main manga and anime series. I think the intro itself should be more generalized or neutral instead of only focusing stuffs about the manga and anime.
==Erza Profile Pic on Start Site==
 
{{Discussion Closed|result=Picture would not change.}}
 
What's about a new Erza Profile Pic on the Site ? Lucy already has a X791 Pic.
 
   
  +
As for the '''contribution box''' i think that can be added in the mainpage but the wiki guilds are currently inactive and promoting it to have members while no trusted and active editor to oversee it will be counterproductive since people who wants to contribute should follow a uniformed format and quality all over the wiki. At best if they really want to contribute then they can just do it on their own for now and familiarize with the wiki's format and policies. Back then there are random editors who wanted to join the guilds without actually ever contributing to the wiki.
How's this:
 
   
  +
As for '''changing the featured image to featured villain''' i personally don't agree with it for now since various iconic villains are already listed in the mainpage making it redundant, next switching from one villain to another will be very limiting since there aren't that many villains that are worth featuring and at most a lot of them were already featured before so it's likely that they'll just be repeated over and over again compared to a fairy tail image being featured which is more broader like in the past we also featured movie posters to promote the movies, manga image to promote the latest manga being released and now anime images to promote the latest anime episode. So i think since the anime series is about to end its better to focus on that first and once its over the featured image could then focus on the fairy tail sequel images to promote it too.

  +
When it comes to adding a '''Spoiler warning''' for the featured article i believe it's unnecessary since the whole wiki is already filled with spoilers. Even by just using the internet will have anyone be exposed to spoilers be it fan arts, social medias, blogs, forums, videos, wikipedia pages and news articles. The way this wiki sees it is that once the latest fairy tail related informations were released then encountering spoilers everywhere should already be expected. Im sure even if this wiki never existed spoilers will still be unavoidable especially when the main manga has already ended years ago and the anime series is about to end soon. {{User:LightningGeist/Sig1}} 12:12, July 12, 2019 (UTC)

Hi. I'll begin slightly off-topic: '''please''', whoever did it, '''''revert''''' the changes done to the character portal. It looks ugly with three rows, not to mention that the space between row 2 and 3 is smaller than between row 1 and 2. The single manga picture makes it look really bad. Such changes should be discussed first. @LG, @Nc

As LG mentioned, the guilds on the wiki haven't been in function for a long time, however, there are still leftover jobs, so I'd suggest condensing them into a single "guild" page - i.e. list all the tasks that need to be done in a clever format (summaries, pages, pictures needed, etc.) and then link that on the main page.

I'd start doing this after the anime is over. For now, it features an image from each new episode every week, for a week. I'd like to keep doing this until the end of the series' run and then start featuring other things.

I also don't think the spoiler warning is necessary. It never was. It's obvious that the wiki is full of information about the series, so entering it while not caught up is just asking for obvious problems.

{{Discussion Closed|result=2 rows}}
  +
Voting for 3 rows character portals, top 2 rows are main/prominent side characters, both row all villains. Other wikis like [https://bokunoheroacademia.fandom.com/wiki/My_Hero_Academia_Wiki my hero academia] manage 3 rows fine plus it's outdated like with alot of things on the wiki, 14 characters doesn't express well FT's big cast and it'll encourage more users to click on few characters they're curious on and possibly edit. Alvarez is longest story arc with no reflection in the character portals. Me and Lightning both thought it looks fresh and updated, just removing it is disencouraging when it comes to editing for me when the wiki doesn't have many editors anymore so for the ones that still edit it's refreshing... that's my case, it adds to the wiki and takes away nothing, adds more variety and I've already looked at the coding and it's fine and everything is readable
   
  +
We have an entire Characters page that displays how big the cast of FT is; the point of the portal was always to display the same amount of protagonists and antagonists, and there is virtually no reason to change it. As I said, from visual point of view, it was bad; three rows just don't look good with our design and even the MHA one is questionable, but they also don't have the final row with the guilds, in our case it actually creates 4 rows that take up a huge amount of space and it just looks bad. At MHA wiki, they have other elements on the page that are big(ger), so it works somewhat. It wouldn't, and didn't here. Not to mention the space between rows not being the same, and that one manga image being out of place, both visually and otherwise. Also, in the future maybe consult other active users about such major changes. {{User:Miskos3/Sig4}} 15:33, July 16, 2019 (UTC)
Ehh.. Anyone noticed that manga title is still form chapter 289 while summary is form 290?
 
   
  +
Hi guys! 久しぶり! After going back and looking at the proposed portal change... I tend to agree with Misk. >__< Three rows for a character portal in general doesn't bother me and the three row portal works for the MHA main page, but for our main page it does indeed make it look clunky rather than sleek (as it was intended). I will say though that perhaps Minerva should be switched out with Acnologia or someone else. :/ Gomen. {{User:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Sig9}}16:33,7/16/2019

== Character Profile Portals ==

==Mard Geer in the row==
  +
I noticed that the thumbnail used for the row is different to the profile photo in Mard's Character page. I checked all the other ones and they all seem to match with their own character page, and only Mard is different. Should it stay with the consistency to Mard's thumbnail be the same with the character page or change the character page to match with the homepage thumbnail.

[[User:Tonyojimbo|Tonyojimbo]] ([[User talk:Tonyojimbo|talk]]) 07:29, August 8, 2019 (UTC)
I don't recall any discussion that brings this to mind, so I'll just announce it here.
 
   
  +
We can just leave it as it is since the there was a vote on mard geer's profile image and the image seen in his personal page was voted by the majority. If we used that same image for the main page then it will create an inconsistent format with the rest of the profile photos listed in those rows.
From what's seen on the Main Page, there are two sections consisting of six portals each linking to different characters from the series. It appears that it's Protagonists on the top half while there are Antagonists on the lower half. Since that ''appears'' to be the case, why is it that [[Ikaruga]] is featured? Compared to the others (perhaps [[Ultear]] as well), she's a very minor character who's made significant appearances towards the latter half of one arc. I would propose that she be replaced with someone such as [[Brain]]/[[Zero]]. He is a major antagonist during the [[Oración Seis arc]] and I believe he would be better suited than Ikaruga to be on the Main Page in that particular area.<br>{{User:Glass Heart/Sig|07:35,12/29/2012}}
 
   
{{Support}} Yeah... I was looking at that, too. Brain/Zero is a good choice, seeing as the antagonists are listed after the protagonist, and Brain being the main antagonist in the OS arc. Sleep time ( ._.)~.{{User:Omega natsu2/Sig2}} 07:40, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
+
So in the end mard geer's profile page will have the image voted by the majority of the editors and his image for the main page will follow the used by the rest for the sake of consistency in the main page.{{User:LightningGeist/Sig1}} 08:45, August 8, 2019 (UTC)
 
{{Support}} - for Ikaruga's change. I do remember at one point that it was said there needed to be some sort of a male-female ratio though. Angel is far more significant than Ikaruga... {{User:Umnei/Sig1}} 08:28, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
{{Support}} Agree with your idea. Change Ikaruga to Brain/Zero since he is the main antagonist of OS arc. {{User:Rifatmfarid/Sig1}} 08:50, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
{{Neutral}} Erm I dunno, I don't really mind her being there, if anything, she should be replaced by another - female - antagonist.. {{User:Miskos3/Sig1}} 09:41, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
{{Support}} <s>Alright, as long as Jellal won't be removed in there >:D</s> Yeah, Brain's better to be there. {{User:RedFemaleKnight/Sig8|6:25PM, December 29, 2012}}
 
 
{{Neutral}} The Main Page will be redesigned by the DOD... Changes here won't mean much... {{User:Guilherme Abe/Sig1}} 12:32,12/29/2012
 
 
{{Oppose}} If it's going to be replaced, it has to be another female antagonist in order to keep the male-to-female ration. And as Herme said, the DOD is going to redesign it later anyway. {{User:Rauleli/Sig6}} 18:28, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
Sorry you guys, but I'm going to have to close this vote. We have Ikaruga because, as Reli and Nei-chan have pointed out, there is a specific male-to-female ratio that must be maintained. And the last time I checked, Brain/Zero is not a female. >_> Ikaruga can be exchanged, but she can only be exchanged by another female antagonist. {{User:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Sig8}}19:38,12/29/2012

{{Discussion Closed|result=Location Slider has been replaced by [[:File:Magic Slider.png|Magic Slider]]}}
 
Hey, now that Chaos uploaded HQ versions of the Slider's images, I decided to check it out and it came to my attention that the option "Locations" in the Slider isn't that cool :/ It redirects to Earthland's article, despite saying that it would be a "List of Locations" (poor Edolas). Also, it doesn't seem a very popular page (nor a veeeery important one, let's come) So what do you guys think about changing it? The [[Magic]] page sounds way more cool imo, but feel free to suggest another one.<{{User:Guilherme Abe/Sig1}} 23:45,1/17/2013
 
 
I'm up for that {{User:Rauleli/Sig6}} 03:17, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
 
 
Agreed; it should be removed. I think the Magic page will be a great substitution. Though some other good options would the [[Mage]] or the [[Arcs]] pages.{{User:Omega natsu2/Sig2}} 18:47, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

Ok so we are getting a bunch of proposed pics but I think that the image has to have the Magic '''centered'''. You guys are proposing too many images that have it at the side (like Herme's Ice-Make prop and all 3 Natsu's prop) and they look ugly in my opinion. I also think that the image should be something that screams out Magic, like [[Amaterasu]], not just an effect that may happen naturally, like elemental Magic spells. And it has to be an anime picture, Mega >_> {{User:Rauleli/Sig6}} 21:57, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 
 
Democracy, you bitch >_>
 
 
Anyways, @Reli, my thoughts exactly. I also think that at least something Magic has to be shown (like the Magic Seal), not a static image like Lucy summoning Aquarius. So, the most suitable ones imo are [[:File:Makarov casts Fairy Law.jpg|Makarov casting Fairy Law]] and [[:File:Amaterasu.JPG|Hades and Makarov]] with their Magic Seals. Freed's [[:File:Fried uses his ench.jpg|rune]] is good, but it's kinda small :/
 
 
Laxus casting Fairy Law isn't properly sized for a Slider pic [http://awesomescreenshot.com/029uafvda yet]. {{User:Guilherme Abe/Sig1}} 22:52,1/23/2013
 
 
::You boys~! Lets just go with Makarov using Fairy Law as proposed by Herme ;) Go on and see how it looks~! (lol im kidding, I understand this requires a vote but in seriousness, Makarov using Fairy Law looks very fitting, plus hes a notable character, so I doubt my vote would change once it opens up) {{User:Umnei/Sig1}} 22:54, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 
 
I said my opinion you whore >_>
 
 
Magic seals aren't necessary... they are anime-only either way. I don't see being static as a problem for the Aquarius pic, however, we can't see the key so for all we know Aquairus was there the entire time and Lucy is just shoving her hand in to the water (not really, it's just an example). We aren't voting yet Herme. Don't worry about sizes right now, just about the pictures. Sizes can change when we pick one. {{User:Rauleli/Sig6}} 22:59, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

So there are various that are really good proposals so since it's going to be hard to pick (at least for me), each of us should be pick 3 and then the one with the most supports is the one we use. My choices are: [[:File:Lucy calling the stars.jpg|1]], [[:File:Fairy Law.jpg|2]] and [[:File:Hades' magic.png|3]] {{User:Rauleli/Sig6}} 19:58, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

In order of preference, I will be voting for [[:File:Makarov_casts_Fairy_Law.jpg|Makarov's Fairy Law]], [[:File:Fairy_Glitter_Anime.JPG|Cana's Fairy Glitter]] and [[:File:Karyū_no_Hōkō.jpg|Natsu's Dragon Roar]]. But yeah, I'd like to stress my preference for Makarov because not only does the Magic he is utilizing appears ambiguous enough to embody the term "Magic", but he is a notable character in his own right. <br> {{User:Umnei/Sig1}} 20:18, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

== Ikaruga and Faust ==
 
{{Discussion Closed|result=The change will not be made.}}
 
Why is Ikaruga in the front page? She is entirely minor character... Faust is a bit less minor, but I can't say he is a main character either... There is a plenty of more fitting characters, like Wendy, Carla, Gajeel, Juvia, Laxus, Makarov...
 
 
Just, what is the reason for these two? [[User:Sligneris|Sligneris]] ([[User talk:Sligneris|talk]]) 18:53, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
 
 
It's to keep the ratio of male/female, protagonist/antagonist characters even. {{User:Miskos3/Sig1}} 19:00, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
 
 
:But, it does not make sense. There are 2 villain females and 3 protagonist ones. There is no kept ratio. [[User:Sligneris|Sligneris]] ([[User talk:Sligneris|talk]]) 19:05, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
 
 
This was already [[Talk:Main_Page#Character Profile Portals|discussed]]. It was said that all present characters will remain.{{User:Omega natsu2/Sig2}} 19:02, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
 
 
:So, how about replacing Ikaruga with Angel as proposed there?

== Recent Anime Episode Section... ==
 
{{Discussion Closed|result=Option 2 will be put into place and the needed vote conducted through the Sorcerer Magazine Monthly.}}
 
 
Hey guys...
 
 
I've been thinking about this for a while, and I dunno if anyone else has been or if the admins have already discussed this and sorted something out, but due to the hiatus of the anime, the "recent anime episode" section on our Main Page is a little useless/meh.
 
 
The way I see it, there are 4 things that can be done right now in response to this, and I just want to see what you guys think about this:
 
 
#The recent anime episode section stays as it is. This will mean that episode 175 will be stuck on the Main Page until 176 airs... whenever. I realise that it is the "recent" anime episode section, meaning that it should have the most recent episode, but I don't particularly like this, as I think it would be nice to have some change/I don't really want it there forever.
 
#The episode featured in this section could be changed every month. My idea is that maybe alongside the featured pic/quote/article, we could pick an episode of the month that is featured on the Main Page. I dunno what you guys think about this, but this was the idea I had so it's not stagnant for the next year/however long it takes the anime to return.
 
#We could just put a link to the list of episodes/anime page with a little summary of the anime and it's episodes, production studio etc.
 
#The section is deleted altogether >___>
 
 
As far as I can see, these four options are pretty much it, but hey, that's why I'm putting this here, cause you guys might have some other ideas.
 
 
So... what do you guys think? Is this even a problem for you? >___>

{{Support|Support 2}}<nowiki>*</nowiki>clap clap clap for Carrot* ^____^ When I started reading this, my idea was to put something like "Featured Anime" section instead, which is Carrot's number 2. We can't have the 175 there for too long, at least we have to change it so the viewers could read different ones every week/month maybe and not the same thing again and again. We could put it up there until the anime starts to air episodes again, then we could change it back to "Recent Anime". {{User:RedFemaleKnight/Sig9|4:41PM, April 23, 2013}}

:Yeah, I got the feeling it would come down to either 1 or 2 because you guys like new things but hate extra work >__> Lazy asses... Anyways, I was thinking over night and thought that maybe we could just have it as a poll in the SM monthly, like we do with sexiest/ugliest Mage and such. Leli puts, say, 10 options for the featured ep, and the one with the highest votes is used for that next month :P I don't mind being responsible for the change either :) {{User:TheCarrotSaysYumYum/Sig1}} 23:00, April 23, 2013 (UTC)
 
::Great idea. That's the simplest way to pick the episode and it'll give us a better range of voters. Plus, I REFUSE to have a "Featured Episode" voting page. >_> {{User:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Sig8}}23:09,4/23/2013

{{Support|'''2'''}} All the way. We can either have a "Featured Episode" voting or as a monthly feature, coming out with the SM. {{User:Natsumi_Thetis/Signature}} 15:27,4/24/2013

==changing Ikaruga==
 
{{Discussion Closed|result=change}}
 
Riding the coattails of another Characters vote, I'd like to propose another change. Honestly, at this point in the series, I'm getting a little tired of seeing Ikaruga's face on the main page. I understand there hasn't been a change yet due to "ratio", "gender" and "allegiance" etc. so I decided to propose '''Minerva''' and am requesting the removal of '''Ikaruga'''. She's much more of a villian than Ikaruga was and has appeared plenty more times with much more relevance than the handful of chapters Ikaruga appeared in. Plus shes female so she pretty much fits the bill. I believe this hasn't been done yet due to the lack of proposition so here it is.

{{Support}} I told Glass months and months ago that it made zero sense to have Ikaruga on there. Minerva is a much better choice as she appeared in more than 3 chapters and was more villanous--{{User:Godisme/SwirlSig|01:05,5/10/2013}}

{{Support}} Since having Brain on the main page is not going to happen, might as well go with Minerva. Also, the main page still has yet to be redesigned, and I doubt it will anytime soon given the new Jobs the Dragons of Design are seemingly having. So, might as well see light to this proposed change. {{User:Glass Heart/Sig|01:12,5/10/2013}}

== Magic ==
 
Hello, I was just hovering my mouse over those tabs on the wiki, and realized that under "Universe > Magic", there is another link to Magic. It is the same link but just different section of the page... I think that that link is completely redundant as it only takes scrolling to get through that section... I was thinking that it should be removed since that "Magic" can already be clicked under "Universe" and take you to the exact same page.
 
 
Edit: Same goes for the List of Fights, it is under the FIGHTS tab, but they both are linked to exact same page, why is it even included under the "Fight" tab with a fight page? are we having a Fight-ception here?

==changing Mirajane==
 
Proposing another change~ After looking at the portal,I just feel like Mirajane's panel looks out of place and could be replaced for Wendys... she fulfills the "ratio", "gender" and "allegiance" factor when it comes to choosing the panel characters and Wendy just seems to be more important than Mira, and Wendy is usually in the same group as Team Natsu (some album artwork, the battle vs. Hades etc.) So... let me know what you think!

{{Support}} As I said, Wendy's more important and she fits amongst the current protagonists in the Character Panel. Plus it looks pretty damn good :) [http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1dzh2o&s=5 lookie here, see?] and other imgs can be used ofc but the point is the character itself :P and yuh I know.. but hey, Juvia isnt there and im not complaining. :) {{User:Umnei/Sig7}} 11:31, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
 
 
{{Support}} Im guessing Mira is only there because Jakuho. Wendy is a better fit with the characters who are up there.--{{User:Godisme/pokesig|15:16,5/28/2013}}
 
 
{{Support}} I too agree that Wendy would fit better. And i also think this isn't the best pic of Wendy. Maybe something in her GMG outfit.
 
 
Also why are both Zeref and Hades on there? Shouldn't one of them be replaced with an antagonist from another arc, like Brain/Zero or Byro?

Suggestions main page

Hi I've been looking at the Wiki and I was wondering if it's possible to add/change a few things. I think if the following changes are implemented it could boost member contribution and help new fans.

Add a short synopsis that introduces the series to new fans. For example:
Fairy Tail is a manga series written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima. The story centers around the adventures of Natsu Dragneel, a member of the wizard guild Fairy Tail, as he searches the fictional world of Earth-land for the dragon Igneel. During his quest, he makes a bunch of friends and enemies.

Add a spoiler warning before getting to the featured article section. That way readers don't accidentally read the latest developments in the series. --Zuleika B (talk) 09:55, July 12, 2019 (UTC)

In my opinion adding a Adding a short synopsis that introduces the series to new fans is not needed since such intro already exist in the Fairy Tail (Series) page since that page itself is about the fairy tail series as a whole. Adding it in the mainpage makes it seems that the wiki is only limited to the main manga which already ended and the anime series which is about to end but its actually not since the whole wiki also has infos from other sources such as spinoffs, movies, games and more aside from the main manga and anime series. I think the intro itself should be more generalized or neutral instead of only focusing stuffs about the manga and anime.

As for the contribution box i think that can be added in the mainpage but the wiki guilds are currently inactive and promoting it to have members while no trusted and active editor to oversee it will be counterproductive since people who wants to contribute should follow a uniformed format and quality all over the wiki. At best if they really want to contribute then they can just do it on their own for now and familiarize with the wiki's format and policies. Back then there are random editors who wanted to join the guilds without actually ever contributing to the wiki.

As for changing the featured image to featured villain i personally don't agree with it for now since various iconic villains are already listed in the mainpage making it redundant, next switching from one villain to another will be very limiting since there aren't that many villains that are worth featuring and at most a lot of them were already featured before so it's likely that they'll just be repeated over and over again compared to a fairy tail image being featured which is more broader like in the past we also featured movie posters to promote the movies, manga image to promote the latest manga being released and now anime images to promote the latest anime episode. So i think since the anime series is about to end its better to focus on that first and once its over the featured image could then focus on the fairy tail sequel images to promote it too.

When it comes to adding a Spoiler warning for the featured article i believe it's unnecessary since the whole wiki is already filled with spoilers. Even by just using the internet will have anyone be exposed to spoilers be it fan arts, social medias, blogs, forums, videos, wikipedia pages and news articles. The way this wiki sees it is that once the latest fairy tail related informations were released then encountering spoilers everywhere should already be expected. Im sure even if this wiki never existed spoilers will still be unavoidable especially when the main manga has already ended years ago and the anime series is about to end soon.

Hi. I'll begin slightly off-topic: please, whoever did it, revert the changes done to the character portal. It looks ugly with three rows, not to mention that the space between row 2 and 3 is smaller than between row 1 and 2. The single manga picture makes it look really bad. Such changes should be discussed first. @LG, @Nc

Short synopsis

I'm fine with this. If it's a short paragraph that won't take much place, it can only help.

Contribution box

As LG mentioned, the guilds on the wiki haven't been in function for a long time, however, there are still leftover jobs, so I'd suggest condensing them into a single "guild" page - i.e. list all the tasks that need to be done in a clever format (summaries, pages, pictures needed, etc.) and then link that on the main page.

Featured villain (or any other type of character, really...)

I'd start doing this after the anime is over. For now, it features an image from each new episode every week, for a week. I'd like to keep doing this until the end of the series' run and then start featuring other things.

Spoiler warning

I also don't think the spoiler warning is necessary. It never was. It's obvious that the wiki is full of information about the series, so entering it while not caught up is just asking for obvious problems.

Thank you guys for considering my suggestions. I believe the contribution part is the most important one and putting the tasks on a single page would greatly boost contributions. I'll keep track of these pages (and on discord) and see where I can help. Zuleika B (talk) 07:14, July 15, 2019 (UTC)

I'll get to making the page as soon as I have some free time then.  Miskos3  Message  07:48, July 15, 2019 (UTC)

Rows Voting

This discussion is closed. The result of this discussion is:
2 rows
Please do not edit this discussion.

Voting for 3 rows character portals, top 2 rows are main/prominent side characters, both row all villains. Other wikis like my hero academia manage 3 rows fine plus it's outdated like with alot of things on the wiki, 14 characters doesn't express well FT's big cast and it'll encourage more users to click on few characters they're curious on and possibly edit. Alvarez is longest story arc with no reflection in the character portals. Me and Lightning both thought it looks fresh and updated, just removing it is disencouraging when it comes to editing for me when the wiki doesn't have many editors anymore so for the ones that still edit it's refreshing... that's my case, it adds to the wiki and takes away nothing, adds more variety and I've already looked at the coding and it's fine and everything is readable

We have an entire Characters page that displays how big the cast of FT is; the point of the portal was always to display the same amount of protagonists and antagonists, and there is virtually no reason to change it. As I said, from visual point of view, it was bad; three rows just don't look good with our design and even the MHA one is questionable, but they also don't have the final row with the guilds, in our case it actually creates 4 rows that take up a huge amount of space and it just looks bad. At MHA wiki, they have other elements on the page that are big(ger), so it works somewhat. It wouldn't, and didn't here. Not to mention the space between rows not being the same, and that one manga image being out of place, both visually and otherwise. Also, in the future maybe consult other active users about such major changes.  Miskos3  Message  15:33, July 16, 2019 (UTC)

Hi guys! 久しぶり! After going back and looking at the proposed portal change... I tend to agree with Misk. >__< Three rows for a character portal in general doesn't bother me and the three row portal works for the MHA main page, but for our main page it does indeed make it look clunky rather than sleek (as it was intended). I will say though that perhaps Minerva should be switched out with Acnologia or someone else. :/ Gomen. Iam...    JakuhōRaikōben16:33,7/16/2019

Mard Geer in the row

I noticed that the thumbnail used for the row is different to the profile photo in Mard's Character page. I checked all the other ones and they all seem to match with their own character page, and only Mard is different. Should it stay with the consistency to Mard's thumbnail be the same with the character page or change the character page to match with the homepage thumbnail. Tonyojimbo (talk) 07:29, August 8, 2019 (UTC)

We can just leave it as it is since the there was a vote on mard geer's profile image and the image seen in his personal page was voted by the majority. If we used that same image for the main page then it will create an inconsistent format with the rest of the profile photos listed in those rows.

So in the end mard geer's profile page will have the image voted by the majority of the editors and his image for the main page will follow the used by the rest for the sake of consistency in the main page.LightningGeistRead about Laxus? 08:45, August 8, 2019 (UTC)
