Template:Attention To discuss the structure, appearance, etc. of the Main Page, go to the main page learning project and the talk page for the main page learning project.
Template:Attention To raise general topics about Wikiversity, make general suggestions about Wikiversity, to ask questions, or to talk about anything else of a general nature, use the Colloquium.

The main page learning project

The main page learning project was launched after the redesign of the main page in December 2007. The main page learning project has as its goal "the promotion of responsible involvement of the Wikiversity community in an efficient, productive, open and inclusive maintenance of the Wikiversity main page as a flagship of the activity and values of the Wikiversity community". If you would like to get involved in the design of the main page, this is where to go.

If you have general comments about the main page, but you don't especially want to get involved in the main page project, then you can also leave comments on the talk page for the main page learning project.

If you wish to post something below, go ahead. It's a talk page. But you are more likely to get a response by going to the Colloquium, which is where the main talking at Wikiversity goes on! See you there.

News or no news?

If there isn't a steady stream of news, that section might be better off away from the main page. And some other sort of content rotation would be welcome. Sj 05:18, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

HI. My name is Alfredo

Page layout problem (Safari for mac)

Hey, I'm using Safari and there is a problem with the layout of the page. The "Help" section overlaps with the footer of the page where we see the wiki sister projects. That's probably a css error (something like a "clear:both" missing somewhere). If someone has the permission to fix this, please do so. Thanks!

I tested the page on firefox for mac and it loads correctly. Leadtimpani 15:25, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Other languages

Can you add arab language of Wikiuniversity in (In other languages) ? Greetings. -- Faycal.09 (talk) 08:46, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

This is the arab language version (wikiversity - الصفحة الرئيسية). Greetings. -- Faycal.09 (talk) 08:34, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Nice idea, that beta project is getting pretty good. I don't see a reason not to link to it. –SJ + 21:07, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

I've added it, now that arab wikiversity has its own site. -- dark lama 17:54, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Operation system for phones. Wikiversity Building Tools: Smart phones/Touch screens--Gaon Abhinava 04:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

In my opinion, iOS is the best smart phone operating system because it offers elegance and simple lifestyle.

Use the Tools, Learn anywhere as long as you have a phone, grow your mind.... and help build Wikiversity.--Gaon Abhinava 04:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

sec link auto

i've noticed that (at least) the icon links to other wikimedia projects at the bottom of the Wikiversity main page are not {{sec link auto|...}} type links, so someone using the https version of the projects gets directed back to the http version. This is a bug IMHO. The w:Template:sec link auto and its subtemplates should be copied here - there should hopefully be some efficient sysadmin way of doing that instead of requiring editors to do it by hand - i hope... i seem to remember copying these by hand for Wikibooks... Boud 08:23, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

It seems to be me who already did copy the template and its dependencies here :P. E.g. Template:Sec link auto links to the Wikipedia Minkowski space article. What is missing is to actually use these... Boud 18:57, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

main page layout borked

The layout of the main page seems to have broken - there is extra whitespace at the top, the text of 'welcome to wikiversity' is wrapping, and the lower-right side of the there-column layout is overflowing onto the bottommost div. A recent change perhaps? viewed in chrome. –SJ + 21:06, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Looks fine here, but I do believe the layout is fragile and can easily break across web browsers and window widths. I think the main page should be redesigned. -- dark lama 12:50, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Youtube

Is it possible to add a link to a Youtube-movie? Which code should you use? Timboliu 11:50, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

You may add a link to any external page, as long as it is not globally blacklisted. (If it's blacklisted, the link may be whitelisted here, any custodian can help with that.) As to the kind of Youtube links that display a video image, I don't know. To add a link to a page, you may copy the URL from your browser bar and place it. It will automatically display as a link, using the full URL. However, if you want it to display instead with some text, place it after an open bracket ("["), then add a space, the text you want, and then a close bracket. ("]"). For example,

http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page

displays as http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page

[http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page]

displays as [1]

[http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page Our Main Page]

displays as Our Main Page
