Creating A Group Page

Covers the basic concepts of creating a group page rather well. The Lv 2 headers are a bit distracting given the length of each section- you might want to use a smaller size for them. However, it seems to me to be a bit too wiki-centric to really fit with the other guides.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 05:54, 3 October 2009 (BST)

Thanks Red, Ive amended the headers. I think there is a need for such a page, if not in guides, where melse would be a good place? --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 10:40, 3 October 2009 (BST)

The aesthetics are a lot better now, and the content still is spot-on, if slightly thin. To elaborate on my final point, most of the guides are game-centered, while this one focuses more on the wiki aspect. All considered, if there was a header under guides for wiki-guides (why not?), this would be a great fit..--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 04:11, 4 October 2009 (BST)

You are using italics for quoting from another page, it makes it hard to read. You are also using italics for emphasis. Could you use it for only one of those tasks (preferably emphasis and find another way of displaying the quote)? - User:Whitehouse 11:14, 3 October 2009 (BST)

Thanks Whitehouse, I'll add the quote in a more quotey form. Hows it look now? --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 17:32, 3 October 2009 (BST)

Looks great! The only think I can think of that would be useful would be some more examples of good group pages, with a variety of wiki-knowledgeable content. Then people can see a bunch of groups with varying amounts of coding. People could create a simply coded group page that looks good, learn some code and look at the coding on some of the more complex pages, and their own group page could then evolve if they so desired. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 20:37, 3 October 2009 (BST)

Why is the entire 'guide' not a redirect to Project Mentor? All you're saying is how to pretty up a page for general consumption with another failure in logical reasoning. I don't see the point of this when Project Mentor has personalised advice based on need rather than the broad generalisations found here. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 07:10, 8 October 2009 (BST)

Project mentor is a page that has been viewed 5000 times in its life, Guides? quarter of a million. Thats why I'd put it there, but yeah, linking to project mentor, help, the groupbox template etc are all pretty good ideas. --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 12:10, 8 October 2009 (BST)

Placeholder comment so this isn't cycled, will update today. --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 12:05, 14 October 2009 (BST)
