User blog:Styracosaurus Rider/The Renovation

I know no-one will read this except me. This is my table for redesigning the wiki. Add or cross out as needed.
 * Customize welcome messages Check, but need moar cutsomization
 * Renovate the Ranks page to be more serious (we now will be more like Wikipedia for prehistory) Check-ish
 * Modify rules Check, although might need some more versions
 * Introduce a referencing system---very important (so far, so good. let's keep it going)
 * Create an article for useful/recommended sources
 * Make templates to show we are redesigning, needs references, etc. (half done)
 * GET MORE USERS!!! I don't wanna be alone Promotion powers activate
 * Main-page renovation. I'm thinking of possibly a collab effort, with users like JoePlay (who did an uber-awesome job with the Jurassic Park Wiki main page) and MontagnaMagica (who did an uber-awesome job with the Coasterpedia and Reptiles Wiki main pages).
 * Remove comments. Discussion pages will replace, staff is doing this. Check

THE COMEBACK - 2013
Quick timeline for plans leading up to the promotion.
 * Clean up Special:WantedPages - an abriged list can be found on my to-do list . In progress
 * Beef up our current featured articles - I want to make them LOOK like featured articles.
 * Heck, beef up ALL our articles.
 * Make forum subcategories
 * Policies and guidelines pages - rename Rules and use as a hub. Also image licensing
 * Maybe get another interested user to come and contribute. Make sure they have an understanding of the referencing system, the no copy-paste rule, etc. Justisaurus, ThePalaeontologist?
 * Special:Promote. And so, it begins...
