Layout

Hey all! I've been talking with Rgoodermote lately about helping the wiki with some things that will help improve the user experience. I also noticed that you're looking for ways to keep editors around for the long haul. I had a few ideas that I think can help, and I came up with a design for the main page that I'd love to get some feedback on. Some of the tricks we've picked up on the Entertainment Team focus on winning at Google and helping readers find content with a pleasing aesthetic. One thing Google recommends for hiigh ranking is less than 100 links on the main page, and to have text links to some of your site's top content. Another helpful navigation tool is to keep links that only editors would be interested in, out of the prominent areas of the wiki. So these are some of the principles I've used in putting together this page here. The black boxes are where anonymous users would see ads, I've added text links to articles with the most traffic, and moved the stuff that would be of interest to editors down to the "Join this wiki" section. That links to a page that collects some of the sections that I didn't include in the main page mockup. What do you guys think? The wiki is getting some good traffic and I'd love to see the community really explode and become one of the internet's top Spongebob resources. I think we can do it! —Scott (talk) 20:12, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

My god, I love it! I see no real reason to oppose this. How about everyone else? - Rgoodermote 23:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Excellent. I love the layout. Some of the placements of the content need changing, but other than that, it's awesome. -AMK152^{(talk • contribs}) 23:48, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

The text links under each bulleted image for characters are obviously the show's main characters, so they should be on the front page for when Google indexes the site. I got most of everything else from Special:Mostvisitedpages since it's a good idea to have easy access to the pages that people are apparently looking for the most. The stuff in the right hand column (Featured, Did you know and Quotes) is fun stuff for readers to look through while the left side under the main links is all topical (News and On this day). And then of course the Join this wiki section which is important for people who want to become editors, but isn't necessary for the front page either for readers or Google. If it's okay to go ahead and copy it over, I can do that now and then we can figure out if there's still any sections that need to be moved around. —Scott (talk) 00:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Way ahead of you. User:AMK152/test10. -AMK152^{(talk • contribs}) 00:49, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Awesome! I have a tool that counts the number of links that Google sees when it crawls the page. We're down to 106 which is a great improvement! Are there a few more we can trim? I'll be monitoring our Google rank over the enxt couple of weeks and let you guys know how we're performing. I think these tweaks are going to help a lot of people find the wiki :) —Scott (talk) 21:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

(undent)Is the Main Page supposed to look like this?. It could be that I am using a trunk build of FF (3.6prealpha) and that could be causing display issues. However it appears to only be the Main Page. Also, I'm liking the changes that are being made. I'm wishing I could help out more, but I either don't know what is going on at the moment or not present to help. - Rgoodermote 22:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Our servers are being a little slow to update today. I apologize for that. Here's what I'm seeing, and what everyone should see once the caching servers around the world all catch up with one another. —Scott (talk) 22:08, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I looked in Chrome, it's my browser. CSS might not work correctly in it. Hey, is the yellow bar supposed to go on past the logo like that? - Rgoodermote 22:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it should look that way. I thought it looked funny when it was cut off abrubtly on wider screens. —Scott (talk) 22:16, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Well you could do this, note this is a very quick and dirty edit in Photoshop. - Rgoodermote 22:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I could do that. Is that what you prefer? —Scott (talk) 22:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually that is what I prefer, it's neater and looks nicer on the higher res's. What do you think? Anything about my idea that you'd like to change? - Rgoodermote 23:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I like the way the longer strip looks on my 1280px screen, but no worries :) I'll adjust the graphic and the code. —Scott (talk) 23:03, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

(undent)Looks pretty odd on my 1400x1050 screen actually. Still black and white on Firefox, what is the CSS code you are using for that? - Rgoodermote 23:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

It looks like you have a modified version of Firefox. I don't know how you got the Wikipedia graphic in there. It looks the same for me now in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and IE. —Scott (talk) 23:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually I'm running a nightly build of Firefox (3.6Alpha). It has a different engine than the others. With the consequences being that certain things don't work right.- Rgoodermote 00:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey, just throwing this out, how would this do as our new main page?. I was thinking that we could do a minimalistic approach instead of our old clustered design, have each area of the Main page setup in a different area. Like the Featured article get's it's own place and so on and in addition we could also use that area as a place to vote for a new article and even a list of old articles that have been featured. The same can go for every other thing we have on the Main Page. This is of course just a draft version that I threw together, so do to it as you see please. Whatcha guys think? - Rgoodermote 04:00, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

SpongePedia

Would you stop copying SpongePedia! It isn't funny. You steal are articles, images, and sayings. Would you stop that? Thank you -- Terminator234 01:46, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Well how could you say that we steal articles, images, and sayings. First of all, I think we could propably find the images we have on here and on SpongePedia on a whole lot of other SpongeBob fansites, so it's not stealing if about a thousand other sites probably have them too. Especially articles, well what's the point in having a Wiki if you're not going to make articles. If what you mean by stealing articles, do you mean by us making articles that have the same title and info? Well SpongeBob Wiki and SpongePedia are wikis based on the same thing, which is SpongeBob SquarePants, so you can't say that's stealing. Another thing, if it seems like we're stealing things, we're just trying to find sources for information. It's like a project at school where you have to tell about a famous person's life. Where are you going to get your info at? Abviously from a website. That's just like saying that the website accuses you for copyright without permission for using their info in your project even though you're just trying to learn something new, and you're accusing us in the same way. And what the heck do you mean by "stealing sayings"? Do you mean by using the quotes of the characters? Well that's not stealing. We're just, like I said before, finding sources for info. So you can't say we're stealing just because we are doing what other wikis do. In fact, SpongePedia is no different, how I know that is because I used to go their a lot before I ran into this site. And if you're just gonna criticize us for "stealing" (if anyone can call it that), then you might as well not be a user on here to begin with. GojiBob Talk Contribs

I second GojiBob's reply. We aren't stealing, and we are both practically the same thing: A wiki about SpongeBob.

Spelling

Can someone explain why there are so many spelling and spacing errors on this wiki?76.243.191.9 12:34, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

CONDEMNED

Can someone remove the articles Angry Shell, Rock Sweet Rock, and The Krabby Patty Structure? These articles are poorly written, and these episodes don't exist yet. (they weren't confirmed by Nickelodeon yet, either.)76.243.191.9 01:10, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Also, delete Rock Sweet Home, it's pretty much just vandalism.76.243.191.9 12:27, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES!

:(

Sorry I have to say this, guys. The show got shut down. :(

Can we delete the articles H, Gummi, and Sparta? They're short, simple vandalism.76.243.185.100 17:47, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

New Welsh Wiki

Hey there, I have just founded the Welsh Spongebob Wiki and would like to know whether it be possible for you to leave a little link at the bottom of your main page to us. (http://cy.synjbob.wikia.com/wiki/Synjbob_Pantsgwâr_Wiki/) Plus, if you could tell me how to link ours to yours, I'd very grateful.

Also, if you could leave me a message in my talk page to let me know that you've replied here because I'm not usually active on this Wiki.

Thanks again

Wo kommt Cletis vor?

After Vincent Waller?

Derek Drymon ---> Vincent Waller ---> ??? <--- Will there be a third one? 81.82.191.75 14:28, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

I think it's a better idea for the wiki to have comment's instead of talk pages,because on a talk page you have to go to a different page and you alway's have to leave a signature Davebrayfbu (talk) 21:06, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Why is the poll is spanish???????

Why is the poll in spanish?? this is the english wiki!!

Request for roll back

I think there should be a request for rollback and these are the requirments:

Have 75 edits at least
Be an active user for a week
Have been able to demonstrate you are willing to help
Have a reason that is at least 3 sentences long that makes sense

October fest

Has anyone noticed that the wiki still has the halloween skin (but the characters are gone) and the logo when it's the start of November ? Davebrayfbu (talk) 14:59, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

Well I pretty much fixed it. But, I don't know what the exact color for the background is though. GojiBob Talk Contribs 15:00, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

obsession...

Hi! I'm Shannon.

Ever since i was 2 i've been obsessed with this yellow sponge. My room was literally yellow with stickers and i had a bed spread, sheet, pillow cases, lamps, window curtains, coat holder, and a bunch of stuffed animals and misc. i also had a bathroom mat, a shower curtain, and a snow cone maker. I don't know this little yellow guy has been my best friend ever since i first saw him on t.v. back in 2001. kaay so thought i'd share this with the world. :D72.93.95.204 00:12, December 13, 2012 (UTC) Shannon Squarepants

Hi Shannon! Awesome story - I must say I've been into SpongeBob for a long time as well! One of the best shows ever. Just letting you know that this is the talk page for the main page of this wiki. Feel free to write about your passion on your profile page, or on SpongeBob SquarePants section of the Forums. Good luck! :) --Spongebob456 ^(Talk) 07:21, December 13, 2012 (UTC)

I Heard

The other day I heard that Nickelodeon will air another new season 9 episode! It will either be: Jailbreak!, Safe Deposit Krabs, It Came From Goo Lagoon, Evil Spatula, Séance Schméance, Don't Look Now, SpongeBob, You're Fired!, Yeti Krabs, or Kenny the Cat.

Trainiax (talk) 22:10, February 2, 2013 (UTC)Trainiax

You should add. . .

You should add a template at the top of the episode page for previous and next episode and remove it from the infobox. Note: I did not create the template yet, I just am using what it should look like on the template page, Template:Episode Chronology.

Trainiax (talk) 13:42, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

I defiantly think that looks good. Let's see if any other admins and AMK152 would say first. ZeoSparkϟ 14:33, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

We already have that with arrows at the top of the episode articles. — AMK152 14:45, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Well then how come you have it on the infobox? Trainiax (talk) 01:26, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

The episode of the GIF

Excuse me,

Ronires (talk) 07:53, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

The back and next episode titles need to return. It's easier to find out what episode is next, without scrolling down to see the next eipsode. GETENT (talk) 01:44, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

The Hour

This is your good friend. I'm here to make the hour with you!

Facts:

Sea sponges are real.
Human Beings have inhabited the Bikini Atoll/Bottom for about 3,600 years.
Crossroads Baker is a explosion in the episode, Dying for Pie.

This show is fictional because the characters cannot talk. But the Bikini Atoll or Bottom is real.

Hope you enjoyed!

Well, I'm changing my signature into this:

Wiki background

Hello SpongeBobians! I only created this account because I have something to say. Anyway, I would like to talk about this wiki's background. Maybe it would be better if it's like the sky flowers or something. It will look nicer and will blend to the upcoming reformatting of this wiki (w/c is the rename that will take place on April 25?).

Does anyone miss the old music from Seasons 1-4. I especially loved the Hawaiian music, and songs like "Tomfoolery", or "Comic Walk", the "House of Horror" tracks really are spot on. I am hoping they bring back more original music for season 10 onwards. We can only hope so.

hey, just letting you know that this page isn't really used much as the talk page system is rather outdated. Special:Forum would be a better place for something like this. ѕqυι∂∂ℓєωαя∂ ^{❮мεssαgε ωαℓℓ ● cσηтяιвυтισηs ● ε∂ιтcσυηт❯}

Screen-Time of the Characters?

I was just wondering if there is a page or sth about it or if I can find it anywhere. I'm really interested in it because I would like to know if Krabs or Squidward has more screen-time, how much Plankton has and if Sandy has more than Karen etc.
