All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXI

Okay, Goldie's permabanned. HDev411 isn't yet...

Geth, I said it in my last post on the old thread, but I liked the look of everything you showed in the mockups. I'm okay with them.

And I'm continuing with fixing Cwf1997's problems... and I have to wonder why he has such a fascination with a particular porn parody of My Life as a Teenage Robot.

Done. Both the main page and community portal have been changed and are equivalent to my mockups for the live site.

I need to do some more localhost testing before writing the new policy page on best practices, but now we should have an entirely functional site for mobile and desktop viewers, and TabberNeue thankfully adapted instantly with little switchover issues.

I am open to suggestions on other accessibility and ergonomic features we need improved and will be happy to fix those issues ASAP.

Just looked at the Community Portal.

What happened to all the grouping that we agreed should be on the page?

EDIT: And, now that it doesn't appear on a single screen any more, can we please sort the "Works Needing Page" list?

As I explained in the mockups, and I requested repeated approval before I did anything to change them for a few days prior, the changes implemented were necessary to make sure the Community Portal was readable on both desktop and mobile without being a busted mess of broken Tabs and Tabber markup because the previous implementation was entirely broken on mobile view prior.

If how the pages were partitioned into sections bothers you, the exact same markup for Tabs and Tabber still works as before, please reshuffle the content as you see fit until you are more comfortable with it. The order of the various sections can be reshuffled whatever you prefer, the only reason it looks the way it does now was my attempt to find a way to make sure we didn't have to scroll through a LONG ribbon of pages to find the section we wanted to actually work on, so I broke them up into smaller sections for the ease of use of desktop and mobile users.

If you just cannot stand how I did it AT ALL, the page history will let you roll back in time to the former sorting, though I cannot guarantee it will be as easily accessible in mobile view (you can switch between mobile and desktop view via a toggle at the very bottom of the page). Like all previous changes (and for this one I requested multiple times if anyone objected), my alterations are not set in stone, so reshuffle the board until it looks nicer if need be.

I'll even link all the relevant documentation to be a nice guy:

Note: Mobile view uses the MinervaNeue skin by default, all changes were optimized to look as seamlessly readable between that and our desktop skins as best I could arrange.

Keep the latter's limitations in mind for Tabs, this is required to make sure mobile view has as few issues as possible. I had to make sure we had some use of Tabs and Tabber on the page because of the mod note you added Rob, so my version is the best compromise I could come up with while fixing the mobile view issues, please tweak it further until you are satisfied.

The ribbons are already too long for some screens - I find myself needing to scroll both horizontally and vertically on the page, which is poor page design. But that isn't what I asked.

What happened to the groups?

EDIT: And if you don't like me complaining after the fact, then hold off on your changes until after I have signed off on them. I am busy and do not have time to drop everything to look at the wiki to suit your schedule.
