Talk:Main Page: Difference between revisions

::In the past when we started "actively modifying" the active server list we generally have been sorting by the perceived amount they've been active -- which is why I was very pissed when CivVie attempted to try to take the first spot in pretty much every list possible (see edits on [[List of Civ Servers]]). Obviously that's a topic of general discussion of whether to really keep them on the list, but I desperately do want to cull down the number of "active servers" on the main page. Additionally, I'm hoping to represent servers that aren't on the main page but were servers (e.g. Sovereignty Ascending, TheRealmsMC) on the side pages that list the servers themselves, but that's a story for another time. But TL;DR, yes I'm hoping to start culling the main page's server listings by relegating some to just a "server list" page, and be a bit more selective on what gets featured. Feedback encouraged!

i think metrix's idea is good but would ultimately result in even more clutter on the main page, which seems the opposite to the direction we actually want to go in. ultimately it's probably going to have to result in more active management since it would be up to editors to keep track of how active a server is. what kind of guidelines do you think should be implemented in order to qualify what counts as an active server and what doesnt? more harsh guidelines would probably require more management (eg. determining exactly how many days its been since a server has been active) but would probably also be the most accurate [[User:Des23|Des23]] ([[User talk:Des23|talk]]) 15:58, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
