Forum:Nav menu

This forum is for discussing any possible changes to the nav menu. This is the four text buttons near the top of the page, currently labeled "popular pages", "new images", "recent blog posts" and "episodes". These can be heavily modified, and there are even ways of having more than four categories.

IMO the "new images" link is pointless, as every page except the main page has links to all of the wiki's newest images anyway. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 02:45, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

I would add a "tools" menu at MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation:
 * Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes
 * Special:Upload|Upload images
 * Special:WikiaVideoAdd|Upload videos
 * Special:WhatLinksHere/ |What links here
 * Special:CreatePage|Create page
 * Help:Contents|Help

These link versions work.

Just as a note, none of the four sections in the MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation page can have more than 7 sections. The episodes section currently has ... a lot more than 7. That needs fixing. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 02:49, November 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm having trouble with the media tab; it's only showing the contents of the "main" directory. Any ideas? PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 01:14, November 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * For the current Nav menu (4-7) there is a hack that allows more than 4 and 7 by adding 2 asterisks in front of each item, seen here on the Minanmi-ke Wiki.


 * Also there is a new Nav menu Wikia is implementing, not sure if it will be mandatory, but you can see the types of links we used on the Index/Railgun Wiki


 * And, yes, a lot of those Special and Magic Word links are quite useless.--Sxerks 17:49, November 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * All of those work on the StarCraft Wiki, but "What Links Here" doesn't seem to work on the Haruhi Wiki. Which ones usually work? PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 18:07, November 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not sure, but those are(or can be) in your personal "my tools", I'm not sure they would be of any use to non-logged in users. --Sxerks 18:46, November 26, 2011 (UTC)
