| This is a "thinking out loud" page, at this stage, for a revamp of the [[Community Portal]]. This ''is'' in Userspace, so generally should ''not'' be edited by others, but I give my express invitation for [[Staff]] to edit it. | | This page intentionally left blank. |

| ==[[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]]' suggestion/thoughts on the [[Grand Theft Wiki:Staff Noticeboard|Staff Noticeboard]]:==
| |
| {{Cquote|The Community Portal needs a bit of a re-think. At the moment its just news, bulletins and a few basic instructions. It needs to be the first place people go for non-encyclopaedic content, such as help/instructions/tools, discussion/forums/talkpages, userpages/editorials/forums, info/staff/policy. It shouldn't just be a collection or widgets, nor a collection of links. It needs to be well laid out, user-friendly and accessible, without being overcomplicated or useless. I'd appreciate it if someone could sketch up some plans for this in their user space, and then we'll see where we go from there.<br>This fits into the idea of having portals for each subject, and also the heightened amount of community discussion. Remember that this is a wiki all about information, so proactive discussion is key - we don't want or need loads of fancy widgets or multicoloured fun sections; however we still need to engage our community and provide all the support we can for people to extend & improve our information.}}
