I looked at the front page of the "Steven Universe" wiki for context, and even the "Regular Show" and "Adventure Time" wiki, and I see where you're coming from; those wikis have a very professional look and is very well maintained; meanwhile, our wiki looks messier and more "unporfessional". I propose we emulate their styles by adapting the use of an organized sequence of boxes. That way, we look more professional and organized.

In addition, I noted that the "Steven Universe" wiki has section on its front page dedicated to showing recent blog posts. Now, as a person who worked really hard on two long and detailed posts, I can only see this as a benefit. Including a section on the front page dedicated to showcasing the 3-5 most recent blogposts as well as the 3-5 most recent fourm posts will do the wiki some good by generating more discussion (or maybe I'm just really biased).

Also, the random facts and random images need to be updated. Some of those facts were flat-out retconed (e.g. "Darwin only knows the numbers 2, 5, nd 7") and simply untrue. The images are also those of Season 1, and don't reflect the current rendition of the show. I've seen this idea being proposed a few times in the past, and I don't understand why nobody has taken action to fix it.

This is something that AaditS brought up: maintenance. The maintenance of the front page is just flat-out horrible. The poll is nearly two months old, that fan-art piece has been up for who knows how long, and "The Joy" being the featured article for at least 6 months is just no. If we're updating the front page, then the maintenace of it also needs to change. Give something fresh and new to look forward to. Scavange for new fan art, write new polls, etc. I will be more than happy to help write new poll questions or even look for art if you go to my message board.

Well, this was long, but I felt I said what needed to be said.

How many of those are active and participate in the community because that number is just ludicrous to me.
