[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 6181081, member: 88649"] Okay, so much to cover. [COLOR=#ff8c00][B]1. Adventure Tracking Page:[/B][/COLOR] Hmmm, yeah. I agree the Adventure Tracking page is getting unwieldy, but the short Table of Contents is faster than scrolling. However, I don't use it to look at active/in progress adventures at all, using the Active Adventures page instead. So for me , the main use of that page is mostly DMC related. So, awhile ago I went and separated DMC tracking into Active and Inactive, making it much easier to find my section. I agree with SK, that we as Judges need to update other people's entries, have it all located in one spot is better than on user profile pages. Honestly, until today I never even looked at my user profile page. :p [B][COLOR=#ff8c00]2. Adventure Timeline and Adventure Logs:[/COLOR][/B] GE, until you linked the Adventure Timeline and Adventure Logs, I had never seen them. Not even sure why we need both actually. Where are they linked to find them easily? Maybe that is a problem since I have not once put anything for my own adventures in that area of the Wiki. We perhaps need some more links to navigate around to pages that are not under Key Pages or Characters. [COLOR=#ff8c00][B]3. Editing the Active Adventures Section:[/B][/COLOR] Also, where are the instructions on how to add an adventure so it will appear on the Active Adventures page and be a selectable category? I would have done my latest adventure "Elenore's Jewels" myself, but I do not know how. [COLOR=#ff8c00][B]4. Approved Characters Page:[/B][/COLOR] I would like to do something about the Approved Characters Page, though. Maybe we can break that into two sections; Active and Inactive Players, with the list of inactive at the bottom. [COLOR=#ff8c00][B]5. Tabs on the Wiki:[/B][/COLOR] I have not played with Tabs much yet, but once you enter editor mode it is no longer be tabbed and really only changes presentation while adding extra formatting. I don't like them. I like a short Table of Contents (not a long one like Fury's) instead and each section has its own edit button. Not much scrolling to do that way. I think you should use the links from the character's adventure log to do that. If they are missing, kick the problem back to the player to fix. However, if the Adventure Log is linked on the Key Pages and alphabetical, then you can use that instead. [COLOR=#00ff00][U][B]Solutions:[/B][/U][/COLOR] 1. Add Adventure Log and Timeline pages to Main Wiki page. 2. Shift Adventure Log to Key Pages (and then we need to make it a list in alphabetical order) 3. On Active Adventures, put the links for the Adventure Timeline and Adventure Log, removing the laundry list of past adventures. Can we add a short Table of Contents to that page as well? 4. Reorganize the Adventure Tracking to to focus on what it is mainly used for. DMC tracking. I would change the layout to this, as the Table of Contents would show: 1. Submitted Adventures 2. Upcoming Adventures 3. In Progress Adventures (includes a Link to the Adventure Log and/or Timeline) 4. Active DMs (Shows his completed adventures & DMC tracking) 4.1 Deuce Traveler 4.2 Etc... 5. Non-Judge Approvals of characters earn 0.1 DMC (includes their DMC tracking) 6. Inactive DMs (DMs are not linked in Table of Contents) So mainly all your completed adventures are listed on the page, but they are underneath the DM's name. Easy to check math since the spent DMC are right there under the completed adventures. We don't need to look at inactive DMs much at all, so they are at the very bottom. Each DM is given a sub header and on the table of contents to navigate to them instead of scrolling if you want. I edited my DM section as an example. [/QUOTE]
