New-look Countdown Wiki
After literally minutes of arduous design and test work, I'm proud to unveil the new highly aesthetic Countdown Wiki look - come check it yo: http://www.countdownwiki.com
Hopefully you can now find most of the stuff you might want with just a few clicks from the front page. I'm open to suggestions for improvement (and particularly corrections.) All pages of the wiki remain editable (except the front page -- it was just too much of a spam target.)
I'm now looking for someone to take over the News feature on the front page. This won't require any more of your time than you feel like giving - if you want to do daily updates, be my guest; if you want to update only on major events, also be my guest. Basically I really need guests. If I get several applicants then we can probably organise a rota and reduce the demands on you even more. So, if you feel like contributing something to the wiki and have no previous experience with it, now's a good time to volunteer your services. You will earn the gratitude of me and the many millions* of wiki readers.
*Probably.

This is awesome, Charlie (et al?). You might be a snidey Oxbridge twat but you are also a God which is **almost** compensation.

Sorry, I can't understand your strange regional brogue. Are you from Scotland?David O'Donnell wrote:This is awesome, Charlie (et al?). You might be a snidey Oxbridge twat but you are also a God which is **almost** compensation.

Re: New-look Countdown Wiki
Is there any chance I could be an administrator then, if you want me to write daily reports? Because the front page is protected. Also there a couple of links that could be changed, i.e. John Davies -> John Davies (Series 49) which I can't do right now because I'm not an admin.

If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

Re: New-look Countdown Wiki
I thought you were an admin already. But yes, I'll promote you if you want to take on the job. Other volunteers still welcome.

Great stuff, cheers! I'll try not to click on the block user links by accident when editing articles!

Re: New-look Countdown Wiki
Looks good Charlie.
I'd seen it earlier today before this thread had been started, and had been finding my way around.

I'll do whatever it is that you're asking somebody to do.

Re: New-look Countdown Wiki
I'll let you liaise with Martin to divide up the work, but in the meantime I'll promote you to admin. I'm sure Martin can explain the general idea.
Re: New-look Countdown Wiki
Hmmm... re the 'News' segment - do people really want spoilers on the homepage of the wiki?
