[edit] Evict the DYKs?
looks like we may need to evict the did you know to make room of vandalpedia--Silent Penguin
13:31, 17 January 2007 (EST)
- Some inline CSS code might be able to limit the displayed size of it, and if the code would be put within <includeonly></includeonly> tags, it'd only affect it when included as a template, as it is on the main page. No need to show the whole page within that section. --Fluffalizer 13:41, 17 January 2007 (EST)
- javascript is beyond me though, sadly, it wouldn't bother me so much if the welcome box was not below the main bit, if you know what to do then tell me and I will sort it out, or make a page for it and then I can copy it over.--Silent Penguin
13:46, 17 January 2007 (EST)
- No need for Javascript, just cascading stylesheet code. I'll give it a go with a copy of the page, though, and if I get it working, I'll tell you. --Fluffalizer 13:57, 17 January 2007 (EST)
- Seems so; you can see the page here in full, and the top displayed as an included template on my userpage. If you copy my version to the old page, feel free to delete my private one, as it's no longer needed. --Fluffalizer 15:24, 17 January 2007 (EST)

I am strongly in favor of having/keeping a "Did You Know" section that anyone can edit on the front page. But it should have a small box. --Nerd42 16:18, 24 Octodest 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Link to Special:Random?
I think there should be a prominent link to Special:Random somewhere near the top of the front page. We're a site about random humor, right? So, this will take people to a random page of random humor. It makes nonsense! --Nerd42 16:19, 24 Octodest 2007 (UTC)
- Looking at the page layout again, I think we should delete the section for the "Last Quarter" feature. Last Quarter's feature was featured already, right? A simple link to a page for past features will suffice. --Nerd42 16:23, 24 Octodest 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Silly?
It would be awfully silly to change "Stepping up to the plate, ready for smashing" to "Stepping up to wipe the fish, ready for grating". --Fluffalizer 07:27, 4 February 2007 (EST)
[edit] Feature stuff
Is it supposed to say "quater" instead of "quarter?" Wehpudicabok 21:35, 14 February 2007 (EST)

[edit] A suggestion
A suggestion for adding a create article feature: (since it was tried but removed, I assume because of poor results) make a page for it at Main_Page/Create, Illogicopedia/Create or something like that, then add a "Create one" link to it under the "[number] articles in English, rien en français und nichts auf Deutsch." text in the Welcome to Illogicopedia box. --Fluffalizer 00:52, 2 March 2007 (EST)
[edit] WRONG!!!!
The thing at the top says we have no french articles, which is untrue now thanks yo MMF and his Francias one...change it or i will Voodoo jo0. (helloolleh)
Please change this back and delete Français, it has reduced the humour of the front page.
[edit] Small problem.
The editting of the newest articles template no longer works. You can still enter manually. David 09:20, 12 March 2007 (EST)

Hello everybody. Just checkin the place out. Is there a bunch of benson horseshit stuff on this sight? --AntiMathPoet 23:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
is there a way to copy my Uncyc article to here? --AntiMathPoet 23:24, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- The simplest way would be to go to its edit page, copy, and paste it into an article with the same name here. If it was deleted, an Uncyc admin can give you a copy. As for benson, there are a few articles with such, added as a joke, but no benson movement. --The Divine Fluffalizer 00:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, there is some Benson stuff on here but we're trying to keep it at a minimum. -- Hindleyite 08:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
if i don't have to deal with benson, then that's one less FUCKING HASSLE. Not that I have anything against benson, just some of his followers.--AntiMathPoet 11:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The header hack
It's a good idea but it's cutting off some of the page, at least in my browser anyway. It might be worth asking someone who knows about these things to take a look - it would be good if it could be brought in line with Wikipedia and Uncyclopedia's main page headers. Maybe a bit of css or something?--
Hindleyak Converse • ?blog 11:34, 30 Aym 2007 (UTC)
- SP put in a hack in the Monobook.css doing that prior to adding the stuff in the Main Page itself. It took a little while before the css code began to work, though - I could see the Main Page title previewing the page with the code on top removed at first. Not now anymore, though. I'll give removing it a go and see if it works. --Fluffalizer 15:44, 30 Aym 2007 (UTC)
- Seems to work fine. Save a litte bit of extra space on top, it looks the same as Uncyc and WP. --Fluffalizer 15:50, 30 Aym 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, that little space at the top is a bit problematic. Ah it seems to be working now, didnt even on a hard refresh before, kudos to Flameviper for giving us a challenge and highlighting the whole in our code.--Silent Penguin

- Seems a certain wiper of frames put back his code for placing a floating image over the top of the page after I removed it, then removed his logo (first briefly replacing it with goatse. nice "surprise" checking the changes in the history), leaving the code blanking a little strip of the page. --The Divine Fluffalizer 13:55, 30 Yoon 2007 (UTC)

Just so I know what is the difference between Uncyclopedia and Illogicopedia, as in the rules, exc., so I don't start writing articles that get immediatly deleted? --Galvanic 05:53, 14 Yoon 2007 (UTC)
- Basically, Illogicopedia accepts one liners and utterly nonsensical ramble whereas Uncyc doesn't. There's a more detailed explanation available through the FAQs. The only articles that get deleted here are pointless/meaningles one-letter articles, attack pages and anything Nerd42 doesn't like. :D
- We also don't have a deletion culture like some wikis. ;)--
Hindleyak Converse • ?blog 12:47, 14 Yoon 2007 (UTC)
- ...though there is a seldom-used vote-for-deletion page and things concidered shoddy can be stamped with the stuff here - though most of it leaves the trash unscathed after a dose of community-directed sanity. --Fluffalizer 13:35, 14 Yoon 2007 (UTC)

18:24, 8 Farbleum 2008 (UTC)
- The "margin-top" bit in the css moving it down slightly was overriden by my additon of the "margin:auto" quite some time ago; didn't stick out at the time as the sitenotice still moved the box down enough. Sorry about that. --Fluffalizer 19:50, 14 Farbleum 2008 (UTC)
