==Install the donate extension here.==
{{archive|result=passed, installed|
▲|content=With the closure of Meta at stake, I have been moving stuff to here. One item of which is the sidebar. On that is a link to donate. That extension is not installed here, and we want to be able to donate right, [[file:NE3-1.gif]]. So I would like to prepose that we install the donate extension here.

== Add a facts section to the main page? ==

|content=I was on coasterpedia a bit today and one thing that I saw there that could be done here is the rankings section on the main page: http://coasterpedia.net/wiki/Coasterpedia_The_Roller_Coaster_Wiki I figure we could do a few facts like: minifigure with most variants, longest running theme, most popular theme, longest article ect. {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}
:Awesome idea! --[[User:CPplayer90210|<span style="color:yellow;background:red;border:5px ridge yellow">CPplayer90210</span>]] [[file:6000102.jpg|x28px|link=User talk:CPplayer90210]] 20:26, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
::It's a good idea, the main page certainly needs updating. What might be a good place to start is adding some Brickipedia statistics, such as number of sets in database, number of parts, characters etc. [[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 20:27, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
:I saw something like this on the [http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page#Did_you_know... Combine OverWiki]. I like the idea, and it would certainly be a nice addition to the homepage.

==Charity donation link in sitenotice?==
== (Re)purposing the "Custom 1-4" social profile page fields ==
{{archive|result={{done|[[user:LegoFan4000|<span style="color:green;font-family:Courier">LegoFan4000</span>]] [[user talk:LegoFan4000|<sup><span style="color:green;font-family:Courier">talk</span></sup>]] 18:10, 17 August 2016 (UTC)}}|
content=The social profile pages have four custom fields (by default labeled "Custom 1", "Custom 2", etc.) which you can edit at [[Special:UpdateProfile/custom]]. On ArmchairGM, the social sports wiki where the [[mw:social tools|social tools]] were invented about a decade ago, these fields were labeled "Favorite Sports Moment", "Least Favorite Sports Moment", "Favorite Athlete" and "Least Favorite Athlete". In other words, site-specific personal opinions that wouldn't make sense outside that site.<br />Hence why for the public release of the [[mw:Extension:SocialProfile|SocialProfile MediaWiki extension]] in early 2008, they were relabeled "Custom 1" and so on. The "Custom '''N'''" naming scheme is unintuitive and confusing because social profiles are supposed to be ''structured''. For example the [[Special:UpdateProfile|personal information]] section is pretty simple and self-explanatory. But how is a new user supposed to know what to enter in the "custom" fields?
Despite this we have 32 users who have filled in these custom fields with something. In order to make things more sane, structured and consistent, I propose the following: '''we relabel the custom 1-4 profile fields to something more appropriate given the context of this wiki (LEGO)''' by having an admin (or a sysadmin) edit the appropriate MediaWiki pages, such as "Favorite minifigure", "Favorite set", "Favorite LEGO video game", etc.<br />These are mere initial suggestions and I'd be more than happy to hear your thoughts; I do think that we should avoid favorite vs. least favorite comparisons and the like. Things like that made sense for ArmchairGM, the sports wiki, given the competitiveness of sports in general, but it doesn't encourage a healthy and positive atmosphere here, so let's just stick to positive modifiers, shall we? --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 13:44, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

::::Aren't those what she suggested? :P I guess all I can say is that pluralizing them (ie Favorite Set'''s''', Minifigure'''s''') might be a good idea, but it's not like people are beholden to follow the header right down to the quantity it may imply so that's not a big issue.

content=Look I like LEGO Island as much as the next person, but I don't think it's appropriate to advertise that as the header. A news report sure? But I don't think the headers the best place for it. {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}
