Main page notice
Managing the main page is easily accessible with the main page template. For explanation of the parameters:

See: Template:Main_page/doc

In progress stuff

  • Tenhou rules - somebody who knows japanese will probably do this page most justice
  • Project:Community portal - could use some fleshing out
  • Terminology - commonly used terminology that could be linked on every page but not linked every time they are listed due to frequent use, example; terms like: koutsu, shuntsu, ari, nashi... etc..
  • Rules overview - shall later link to a page with detailed general rules (either other websites or we make yet another full description), and also link to other specific rulesets (Tenhou, EMA USPML, ...)
  • Offline groups - this seems hopelessly outdated. maybe needs a name change (used to be Real-life groups)
  • Talk:Offline groups - organisation-wise this seems like the best place to put "looking to form a new group" notices, so I put a note on the Community portal --Bps (talk) 20:34, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Playing online - needs fleshing out

TODO

  • tell people to edit this thing
  • rules, terminology,
  • Page: yaku - confirm names, grammar etc..,
    • Separate articles for each yaku
  • community portal - where can you meet more people who play/etc.? (online and offline) - i.e. #mahjong, #osamuko, Linköping, ...
  • organisation of information (but this can come much later once there is actually shit to organise)
  • Strategy pages (example)
    • Defense
    • Damaten
    • Etc.

Comment

Hopefully this turns into an authoritative wiki. It seems long overdue. --Bps (talk) 02:29, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

What should go on the front page once we make one?

  • Beginner resources, rules page, offline groups, playing online -- these seem essential.
  • What is the exact goal of the community portal, it seems it should also be linked from the front page later?
    • what it says on the tin I guess. I agree it should be clearly linked on the main page --Bps (talk) 16:23, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
  • It's very nice if all wiki pages are somehow reachable from the front page just by clicking in-page links, without AllPages. Simon (talk) 16:04, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
    • agreed - the Special:AllPages link is just temporary while there isn't much content/organisation --Bps (talk) 16:23, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Welcome mat

{{Welcome}}

Just a little something that could be dumped into other people's talk pages, particularly new people. Although, this thing could be better. KyuuAA (Talk:キュウ) 19:52, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Sample front page

Well, I've tinkered a bit with building a decent looking front page. Although, I am failing to adjust table heights so that both tables are of the same height. Either way, the sample can be found here: User:KyuuAA/sandbox KyuuAA (Talk:キュウ) 10:20, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
