Encyclopedia talk:Main Page

This page is for primarily for information about where to talk to Wikiversity.

To discuss the structure, appearance, etc. of the main page, please go to the main page learning project and the talk page for the main page learning project.

To raise general topics about Wikiversity, make general suggestions about Wikiversity, to ask questions, or to talk about anything else of a general nature, please go to 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.

Humanities: Why the Chinese character for Middle?

The humanities section has the Chinese character ZHONG, meaning centre, as the symbol associated to it on the left. Does this have any background? Poeloq 03:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I jost noticed this too. But then again, the middle ain't too bad, right? -91.42.232.70 22:31, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Main Page Success Story

I just want to congratulate the Main Page Workgroup on the excellent results of the Main Page 2.0 project. FInally, we have a front end worth the effort and intent that we all have put into this org. I especially like the Project of the Day section. I believe that is arguably the most important element that this org brings to the internet. Anyway, thanks a bunch.

Image Links

How to link image to a wikiversity internal file?????????????? Tushant Jha 07:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

If the image already exists on the English Wikiversity or on Commons, you can add it to a page by adding [[Image:Name.jpg]] (where "Name.jpg" is the full name of the image file). See Help:Media Files for more info. Cormaggio ^talk 12:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Duplicated welcome

There are two "welcome to wikiversities", one on the header, the other in the introduction. Could these two sections be combined into one, saving some space? And the big purple picture, interesting as it is, may not be entirely useful, given that we already have a logo on the top, and educational pictures below? --Hillgentleman|Talk 22:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
