== Structure of the Welcome page ==
Hacked By PeRSieN & Bayqqq
 
Basically people coming here come mostly to find wikis. The first block should then be the category list then optionaly the wiki of the day then optionaly  the user list.
The current structure is just adding a unecessary step. [[User:193.164.156.10|193.164.156.10]] 08:47, 4 February 2008 (EST)
 
I agree. I have to scroll down three pages to get to the meat of the welcome page. My first visit was nearly my last as I couldn't see a way to navigate the site. --[[User:St3f|St3f]] 11:18, 7 March 2008 (EST)
 
=== Wiki of the day ===
 
You need a wiki of the day, or a wiki of the week! [[User:194.80.21.10|194.80.21.10]] 06:58, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
 
: Yes, one per week would probably be more manageable for us to start.  Would be great if we had a way to invite the community to participate also, then we could get up to one/day --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Ray King|talk]]</small> 12:47, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
 
Ok.
 
=== User list ===
 
List currently on [[Template:Recent visitors]] could get rather long, so maybe have a separate page for it? [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 22:32, 1 June 2006 (EDT)
 
== Colors ==
I seem to have messed up the colors.  Can someone fix it?  Thanks! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 19:04, 14 June 2006 (EDT)
 
== News ==
Mark, you were envisioning the photo news-item staying in the middle while Ray was envisioning all news entering on the left and moving to the right.  Any futher thoughts after my mess-creation today?  What about news that needs to be "sticky" like the WikiSym notice?  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 19:04, 14 June 2006 (EDT)
 
:''Yeah, I am not sold on the "blogging" flow on the front page of left to right.  I wonder if having a more constantly image update in the middle surrounded by sticky articles and plain text articles would be more "exciting" (well, ya know, as exciting as text on a wiki can get!).''  [[MarkDilley]]
 
Okay, no problem.  So of what we have there right now, we can put the image back in the middle.  Then we have WikiSym, the front-page re-org asking for help and that peer to peer thing.  I can do the work to move around again.  What would you suggest (or just do it, obviously)? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:40, 15 June 2006 (EDT)
 
:I am just talking out loud, do you want to let it settle for a day or two? [[MarkDilley]]
 
:: My thought on the "left-right" flow is that if the picture moves from panel to panel, since it is recognizable, it shows more "activity" for the casual user. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Ray King|talk]]</small> 12:46, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
 
Sure thing. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 15:32, 15 June 2006 (EDT)......
 
== Protecting ==
 
You could protect the page to "Block unregistered users" so that we won't have any anonymous IP jerkoff vandals.
 
== The Future of WikiIndex? ==
 
The Welcome page includes the RecentChanges.info section and "The Future of WikiIndex and this (we)blog" blog entry, but it doesn't seem clear to me where people are supposed to reply to the request "Would you like to help?" --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 12:44, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
 
== Captcha ==
 
Annoyed by the Captcha? Sure! Login to avoid it? I am logged in - and I get it anyway! - Is this a bug or a feature? Either this behaviour or this note on the welcome page should be fixed, I think.--[[User:Speckmade|Speckmade]] 00:22, 15 November 2007 (EST)
:I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I think you might still be getting it because you haven't hit some arbitrary number of edits to where MediaWiki will no longer consider you "newly registered". Or are you doing more than just simple page editing (i.e.: moving pages or uploading files) because in those cases, I think anybody but an admin will have to go through a CAPTCHA to prevent spammers and vandals biding their time and pretending to play nice for a few days until they're no longer "newly registered". &mdash;&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Comic Sans MS;">[[User:Sean Fennel]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|@]]</span> 22:49, 15 November 2007 (EST)
: At first, the system would present me with a captcha every time I added a new link - or at least that's what it said. After I was made a sysop, this has ceased. Of course, I can't be sure that the two events were related. [[Felix Pleşoianu]] | <small>[[User talk:Felix|talk]]</small> 07:26, 16 November 2007 (EST)
::Its a bug. No doubt about it. [[User:Elassint|Elassint]] 22:54, 17 November 2007 (EST)
 
== How many wikis is too many? ==
Currently, only 647 out of 5500 [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] sites are listed here. Would listing them all be regarded as spam, or is this acceptable? [[User:Angela|Angela]] 21:40, 12 March 2008 (EDT)
:It's acceptable but much work. Start this task, if you want to do so. :) Best regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 07:13, 13 March 2008 (EDT)
: ''Angela, I think it would be fabulous!  But agree with Wolf about the much work :-)  We are trying to get [[Wikis to Add]] done! Best, [[MarkDilley]] ''
