:I like Monobook more than Timeless, but I do think the general style is an improvement over the existing design. The pink colors and star pattern feel more fitting for a Kirby wiki than solid blue.

::Monobook is my preferred design interface.

:::I prefer Monobook over Timeless as well, but if Tacopill makes Timeless the default skin, i don't mind.

This extension is used on many wikis, including from Wikimedia and NIWA. I think it would be a really useful extension to have for [[:Category:Pages needing attention|maintenance categories]], among all others, to have categories display basic information such as a number of pages, files and subcategories contained in them, as well as ability to see and navigate subcategories within the same page. Posting here to garner formal community and admin support for [[User:Ampera]] to install/enable this extension, as it's likely to be lost in conversations on the Discord server. {{User:Vipz/sig}} 00:40, 12 April 2022 (UTC) | This extension is used on many wikis, including from Wikimedia and NIWA.

:It adds the ability of both seeing how many pages/categories are in a category, and to see which categories are inside another one without the need of opening the page of the root category. Those functions seem really useful to me, both on editor's side and on reader's side, plus that it doesn't seem that it breaks things. It is very useful, and if it indeed doesn't come with any downsides, I support adding it. | :It adds the ability of both seeing how many pages/categories are in a category, and to see which categories are inside another one without the need of opening the page of the root category.

So, we have [[WiKirby:General disclaimer|General disclaimer]], but the page, despite being important, is hidden from the users (allegedly, [[User:Kirbeat|Kirbeat]] didn't know it was a thing until recently and he's a staff). It's only linked on the [[Help:Contents|content page]] and in the help navbox, in both cases among other links, thus making it hardly noticeable. I propose we add mention of it to "About Us" on the Main Page or at least at the top of previously mentioned content page. What do you all think? {{User:Superbound/sig}} 19:26, 14 April 2022 (UTC) | So, we have [[WiKirby:General disclaimer|General disclaimer]], but the page, despite being important, is hidden from the users (allegedly, [[User:Kirbeat|Kirbeat]] didn't know it was a thing until recently and he's a staff).

:It's also on the footer, but yeah, it needs to be more noticeable. I think the main page link should work. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 22:03, 14 April 2022 (UTC) | :It's also on the footer, but yeah, it needs to be more noticeable.

::I checked the source of Help:Contents, and I didn't see the disclaimer page linked there. Although, as PYF said, the disclaimer is linked on the footer of the site, so we could argue that it is linked on literally every page, but even so I don't think that that footer is something that most people would direct their attention to. The disclaimer mentions how WiKirby isn't affiliated with Nintendo, how is that the copyright holders of the topics presented here are Nintendo and HAL, how is that the information presented here may not be 100% accurate thanks to this being something fan-driven, and how navigating through topics of old games may spoil the reader; thus, it seems to me that that disclaimer is something that should be linked on more visible pages.<br> I support that it should be linked on both the content page and on the "About Us" section of the main page, as suggested, and I also add that it should be linked on [[WiKirby:About]]. Maybe linking it on all three could be too much, but by seeing how important the disclaimer is, I would link it on all three. | ::I checked the source of Help:Contents, and I didn't see the disclaimer page linked there.

:::There's no real need to link it everywhere. Putting a note in the "About Us" box on the mainpage is enough and virtually no one will miss to read it. [[WiKirby:About]] deals with the history of the wiki - if someone is reading that page, there's a 99% chance they've already read the whole main page because they're interested in the wiki. {{User:Vipz/sig}} 18:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC) | :::There's no real need to link it everywhere.
