I'd be fine with this format (the Featured Articles header should be larger and the prose should be smaller, though). I assume we'd choose these with a discussion of some sort, then change them the same way after the game comes out? Nyargleblargle (talk) 12:32, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, perhaps we'd choose them based on what's new or something? Gomtuu (talk) 21:24, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer if we chose them based on the article quality, to make a good impression on newcomers. Nyargleblargle (talk) 23:08, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

In my opinion the body text is too wide and there's too much empty space around the picture. Maybe consider putting the text in one column and the picture in a second column, with no border between the columns? I'm starting to think all this bright yellow is going to get a bit obnoxious, too. Partly my fault for using so much yellow in the navigation images. (Or maybe it's just me? What do you guys think?) Anyway, the RandomSelection extension should be installed now, but I haven't had time to test it. You can go ahead and try using it in the sandbox page. Thanks! Gomtuu (talk) 21:24, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I want to replace the "Featured Article" header with a better font that fits with the navigation buttons. What font did you use for those? Is it just Fira Sans? --XenonNSMB (talk) 22:13, 8 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Funny you should ask! The font is actually Akko Black Italic. This font and its non-italic variant are used on the Japanese website and in the game. I've been thinking about buying a webfont license for it so we can use it for headings and buttons. Sounds like you just plus-oned the idea, so I'll probably go ahead and do that soon. :) Gomtuu (talk) 06:17, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
