Admin - Home Page Sandbox is my proposed change, or at least the basis of it. It utilizes the main page column and side column tags already present in the current code but more effectively. Community links will help encourage others to utilize the wiki as a hub of activity and depending on the type of community aspects we want to encourage, like forum or blog, we could include widgets below the encyclopedia links. The side column, where the alliance badges are can have additional content too. I was going to put the dedication and foreword over there but remembered that wikia uses ads over there, so that needs to be factored into the design. (I use ad block, so I don't see ads anymore.) The current homepage starts looking even worse with a long ad. I included the hide edit links and hide table of contents codes into my proposed change to help create a clean, slim look.

Even just implementing the column tags, hide edit links and hide table of content into our current page would be a significant improvement. But why stop there?
