Changes
Sense all the new adjustments to the Wiki I suggest we find a logo for ourselves sense we have grown large enough.

Old Stuff
Hi. I just edited the main page to take out all the featured content type boxes, since right now they were blank and I think the page looks more finished and thus is more appealing this way. If anyone doesn't like this please say so; I don't want to step on anyone's toes! Also, as the wikia grows it will be good to add content back into the main page, hopefully with input from everybody. -- Wendy (talk ) 07:00, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

fix
I think we could use a color more suited for the wiki, aside from the current pink. MetallicKaiser 08:58, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

I made an edit to the color of the wikia, we can discuss a better combination. I am not very good with color design. Lol

Jo2uke name in JoJo Protagonist tab
Sorry I didn't know where to write this, so it'll be in the Main Page.

I find quite inappropiate to name the JoJolion Protagonist after the fanname "Jo2uke" and add it in the JoJo Protagonist tab; it's a fanname and it shouldn't be in a wikia like if it was his official name... people would get confused or something. Well that was... Thanks. The Border of Phantasm 02:28, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

Background / Theme
Would many people be into a fancy tile background featuring that diamond pattern that was in the old volumes (of low contrast /subdued), if any sense of popularity gleaned from this post would have any effect on this project's administrators? Purple does seem JoJo-y not least for the Prince association but I'd also enjoy brainstorming other colours, even if they are only slightly different. After those thoughts I also wonder whether we couldn't find a more appropriate side banner theme, somehow related even more closely to Araki's authorship (more manga-derived) - I like the little flashes of JoJos appearing in the Phantom Blood anime intro, for one idea, unless that's too copyrightesque. - COPIOUS (talk) 21:43, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

I'm all for a new color scheme and background. The current models were originally suppose to advertise the release of ASB, but we are obviously way past that now. I've created a thread dedicated to sharing ideas and lending help in the forums and it should be highlighted for everyone. (Talk) 23:10, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

Mafia ranks and Passione
So I felt motivated to clean this place up a little more, and felt like revising the old JP->CH->EN translations of the Passione rank positions. For reference, here's the ranking diagram from volume 49. And a typical mafia family ranking system.

"Operative" is analogous to "caporegime" or "capo", "advisor" to "underboss" (Doppio's rank, and Mista's rank in Purple Haze Feedback), and [whatever kanji Purple Haze Feedback used for Polnareff's position] to consigliere (underboss is still #2 and consigliere would be #3). So I changed all the "operative"/"high ranking member"/"advisor" already on here to those ranks. JoJo Project kept the old terms because they're literal-accurate for the kanji.

Passione obviously exists only in the JoJoverse and even by IRL standards is a pretty small mafia family, so there's a chance I might be wrong about whether the positions are IRL accurate and you might want to undo my edits.

This seems fine, though it probably wouldn't make sense for anyone who isn't italian. I'd suggest just using the full name and linking it to wikipedia like this: Caporegime, which would result as: Caporegime (Talk) 12:05, May 23, 2014 (UTC)

Site design regarding Spoiler inclusivity
Heyo,

I was actually spoiled earlier this week about Yotsuyu. It probably added to my excitement but it reminded me of the primacy of the Spoiler Alert.

As it is, it is something as if the wiki is designed only for those who are up to date (i.e. JoJolion Chapter 32). There isn't a great amount of deep mystery to the earlier Parts, but I should say that from Part VI onwards, mystery, intrigue and surprise becomes a bit more common.

In ancitipation of maybe just implementing spoiler-hiding codes and tricks on maybe most types of article (maybe in the far flung future when we can communicate this to the wiki with a speedy touchscreen tapping language), I think maybe the front page should be rearranged so that a News Headline of sorts sits at the very top, notifying as to the latest chapter and/or anime episode (hopefully drawing vigilant new edits); after which we will have a big and clear spoiler warning.

Also! I am thinking that the greatest power / main purpose of the wiki will be as a reference for what happened when, so the Projects (page) or the line saying that We Need Chapter Summaries should come just after that.

Maybe to be less boring we can have some interesting JoJo art as the background or border to all this text-oriented stuff.
