Talk:Main Page
Remember that the front page of the wiki is going to need to be a general catch-all for all users, rather than just a portal full of links to places where you can find information.
People going to it will either be:
- trying to find out what ff is all about (random people from the internet)
- trying to find out how to play ff (very new people who have maybe just downloaded or just played a few mins)
- trying to find out more information on ff (new people to vet people)
So you need to write the page while thinking about what type of content each person is going to want to find and make sure that it's covered in some way on the front page.
So for example, all these things ought to have a paragraph or so of useful description on the front page, along with links to the relevent section:
- Description of the mod
- Video tutorials
- Game guide, getting started, etc
- Frequently asked things
- Classes & class strategies
- Maps/gametypes & strategies
- Resources for map makers
Probably others too. But the front page should be really accessible and be able to guide the person to whatever information they need (i.e. if they're new then we want to tell them about our video tutorials and how useful they might find them).

Blah. This is just a temp page. I'm trying to get a feel for the way these things are done. I'll flesh this out when I get back later, then create all the pages as blanks etc. - Def
