Inputbox

It would be nice if there was an inputbox on the main page. Like this:

Good idea? MarioGalaxy2433g5 10+ {talk/contribs/Logs} 14:29, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I try to put this on the mainpage. --Bahnpirat 05:54, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Beta?

• On the main page next to "Brickipedia", there is the word "Beta". Is this really necessary now? NightblazeSaber 08:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

New look!

Love the new look on the main page! I saw LegOtaku made it, and I must say, it looks even better than before! -Nerfblasterpro 14:01, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

Template Phail!

I suggest that someone update the feature article section soon, before I start laughing too hard :P Ajraddatz(Talk-BANHAMMER) 01:41, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Custom LEGO wiki

There's a custom wiki here. 67.121.126.45 21:00, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Adding Content

I think there needs to be more content on the main page. We have all the "Did You Know's?" on the left side and then a huge blank spot underneath. Maybe we should start brainstorming ideas or just simply move a collum from the right to the left. Construction Worker Do you need help? 23:09, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Perhaps good articles under the FA's of the month (like a random good article, similar to Wookieepedia's main page). -Nerfblasterpro: It's Nerf, or Nothing! 15:48, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

That's true. Maybe instead of updating everyday like Wookieepedia, it can update once a month or so. Construction Worker Do you need help? 21:03, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

What if we added a news collum, not like the other one, but one that covers new and important topics in greater detail. I've started the LEGO News Now on my blog and I was wondering what you would think if we put that on the main page? The first edition is up with startling information. Construction Worker Do you need help? 00:12, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

As good as that sounds, I don't think it would be as good, since we already have a news template. hm...I'm at a blank for now. I'll try to think of something. -Nerfblasterpro: It's Nerf, or Nothing! 09:41, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Would it involve less screaming of "LEGO are aiming at kids" in capitals? >_> Kingcjc 09:52, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

lol. Perhaps... :P -Nerfblasterpro: It's Nerf, or Nothing! 10:25, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

=|... I never screamed anything. That was the other users' comments. Like I said, I only capitalized the title because that's what is done on news websites for breaking news and important topics. Construction Worker Do you need help? 21:24, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Lately, I created a mock-up of a new main page layout. I also intended to include a new blog-based news system and polls. --LegOtaku (talk • contr) 08:58, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Now that's what I'm talking about! It's awesome, LegOtaku! I was thinking of mentioning about adding polls but I could never remember it. Do you think we should start a forum for it? Construction Worker Do you need help? 11:57, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

It's awesome! Long, but still good! :) -Nerfblasterpro: It's Nerf, or Nothing! 13:06, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Nice Kingcjc 13:09, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Glad to see it's up now! Looks great! =D Construction Worker Do you need help? 00:15, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Me is too! -Nerfblasterpro: It's Nerf, or Nothing! 14:24, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

editing posts

Okay, this happens to be reoccuring for me lately on lego.wikia.com. If my post is longer than the my screen (when I am typing text), the text area scrolls to the top and you cant see where you are typing anymore. This will also happen if a new post is wider than the text screen is and I can't see the bottom very well while typing as it keeps scrolling up. Any suggestions?

Wow! The same thing happens to me when I hit the preview button (go figure). Maybe contact wikia about this matter. -Nerfblasterpro: I PRESS SMASH BUTTON! 11:21, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Competitions

Maybe if we had a running competition for custom Lego Images and the winner gets a certain number of points or even a badge until he/her is beaten by another picture. The winning picture for the year could be posted along the top of the Websit for all to see. --Looster123 03:13, July 2, 2010 (UTC)Looster123

• All things custom should be on our Customs Wiki. Alternatively, BobaFett2 is running an unofficial competition on MOCpages at the moment for Brickipedian members, so if you're interested, you may want to contact him. NightblazeSaber 04:49, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for that info.

Search Button

Can I put a search button like this

 

Jedihunter ^Talk!!

• We already have a search button on the sidebar (or is this just a monobook thing?) NightblazeSaber 06:55, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

I think a search bar on the mainpage would look alright. It kind of reminds me of the new page creator search thingy that used to be on the mainpage. -Nerfblasterpro: Can you believe it's only been a year? 15:10, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

• Well i think it will look great under the create article button. If you guys dont want to put it, then its ok. Jedihunter ^Talk!! 23:25, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Nice site!

Hey, nice site! Thanks for posting. I'll come back.
