#{{User|Hewer}} While there are a few small oddities with the current main page (like the placement of the [[Lists of references|references]] link), this whole redesign feels very unnecessary and would probably do more harm than good. | #{{User|Hewer}} While there are a few small oddities with the current main page (like the placement of the [[Lists of references|references]] link), this whole redesign feels very unnecessary and would probably do more harm than good. | ||
#{{User|Arend}} There isn't anything wrong with the current main page (e.g. the colors are just fine as they are, and so are the blocks of the topics (Featured Article, News, The 'Shroom, Polls, etc)). I don't understand how turning those blocks into two columns improves the main page (especially since the two columns will be viewed under each other as separate objects on mobile screens anyway), you don't need to fix what ain't broke. I also don't really like that the proposed Main Page has a big block of empty space under the right column (or left column on 4:3/iPad screens), which was somehow even worse [[Special:Diff/4211250|in a previous revision]], when the current main page doesn't have that problem on either PC or tablet, especially since four extra things ("Help us maintain this page", "View recent changes to the wiki", "Check out a random article", "Answers to frequently asked questions") will show up depending on the width of the screen or window, which the proposed Main Page does not do. I feel like it's a mistake to swap the placements of The 'Shroom and Mushroom World Encyclopedia, since this seems to be the cause of that block of empty space (our current Main Page only seems to swap these, again, depending on the width of the screen/window). I do like the inclusion of Mario and Luigi on the proposed Main Page's welcome banner though. (I should mention that I've been using the Monobook wiki skin, but I've also looked at the proposed main page when using the Vector skin and my problems with the empty spaces still remain there) | #{{User|Arend}} There isn't anything wrong with the current main page (e.g. the colors are just fine as they are, and so are the blocks of the topics (Featured Article, News, The 'Shroom, Polls, etc)).

#{{User|Tails777}} I kinda prefer how the main | #{{User|Tails777}} I kinda prefer how the main page looks as it is. This could wholeheartedly just be that side of me that isn't huge on change (I've been here for a long time, it's the same reason I haven't considered changing my username), but I've never once had any issue with any aspect of the main page, whether is be visuals, format or navigation. | ||
<s>#{{user|Koopa con Carne}} i’ll mainly oppose due to the newly added Explore and Navigate blocks, which add too much empty space and ruin the neat and compact appearance of the navigation portal. I don’t know if splicing the tabs on each half of the page into a column is a net bad or good, though I’m leaning towards calling it unecessary. I do like having social links gathered in their own place and I’ve come to realize that the more desaturated colors are better on the eyes, especially since the redesign keeps the positioning of the hues as the current page.</s> | <s>#{{user|Koopa con Carne}} i’ll mainly oppose due to the newly added Explore and Navigate blocks, which add too much empty space and ruin the neat and compact appearance of the navigation portal.
