I am aware of how other wikis do it, although we couldn't do it like that and look good without considerable changes. The icons are too damn high. [[User:JBed|JBed]] ([[User talk:JBed|talk]]) 15:52, December 20, 2014 (UTC)

FFVII Cait Sith Battle

We have a number of things in place that should make designing for new skins easier, sort of. The Recent Wiki Activity box seems like a good place to put Article Icons, though this brings up something awkward about the design:

You see, the thing about Oasis is after the rail stops, it just looks like there is a massive gap where content looks like it should be able to flow into. This design doesn't do that, but it basically puts rails contents as part of the page. So infoboxes will go below it. That will be our biggest issue.

Fuck that right? I don't think Wikia want right-floated infoboxes used on wikis. If mobile skin is anything to go by anyway. Maybe we should just go for a full-width design; infoboxes bring a lot of trouble anyway. Though honestly I'm not much a fan of full-width infoboxes because they require considerably more complex design. I imagine what this was would give you an idea of how that looks.

Alternatively, icons could be moved to the left and our custom rail items could just be pop-outs. Like how the TOC is. Like how the TOC is? Aww, fuck that man. JBed (talk) 05:36, December 20, 2014 (UTC)

Thankfully this new skin is basically pre-alpha, and reaction to it has been so negative (they had to remove it from one of the test wikis due to overwhelming hatred) that it will likely go though some revisions. But we still need to prepare for this in case the stupidest parts remain.

As such, I suggest an endorsement of Adblock Plus on the front page. :P
