User:Eitch/Main Page
The main change is putting everything in hide/show boxes, with the result that on the initial load all the sections can be seen without scrolling down ( Does it work? Discussion started here).
Still to do:
- Fix TFP and Sisters - for some reason, the template I wrote doesn't like hiding tables. I've left the old TFP up for comparison. I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. Can anyone figure it out the problem in my code?
- Write a version of User:Eitch/Main Page/Framed hidden that supports multiple columns (so far, it supports a single column with multiple boxes, each of which has the same coloring).
- Can someone figure out how to make the heights of the blue and the green tables independent of each other?
- The width of Sisters is less than that of the sections above it (you can't appreciate this, since Sisters isn't hiding. The width of Languages is even less. Can someone figure out why?!?
Done:
- Broke things up into templates:
- Framed hidden easily makes things that look like TFP, Sisters, or Languages - hide/show boxes with a frame.
- Hidden2 easily makes things that look like TFA, DYK, ITN, or OTD.
- Welcome banner makes a welcome banner - customize the stuff to the right of and below "welcome to wp"
Hide/Show trouble: why is there too little space between the "Today Featured Article" headline and the FA; too little space between the "Today's Featured Picture" headline and the FP; there's too much space between the "Did you know…" headline and DYK.(disussion started here
The sister projects and other languages boxes should have the same color scheme - they're different to show two possibilities (discussion started here).
- I moved the "other areas" links to the top banner - nubies are the ones who won't know about the links already, and so they should be prominent.
I need someone with better table skills to figure out why there's an a little white square below the Today's Featured Article and Today's Featured Picture introductions (the whole line the square's on shouldn't be there; discussion started here).
Can someone figure out why the "Recently featured" links aren't hiding along with Today's FA?(fixed!)
The search box was written by Trevor MacInnis.
Many thanks especially to ChyranandChloe for programming help.

Wikipedia articles of the highest quality are declared Featured Articles. Today's featured article Tropical Storm Hernan was a short-lived tropical cyclone that caused widespread flooding and destructive mudslides across southwestern Mexico in late August 2020. The eighth named storm of the 2020 Pacific hurricane season, Hernan formed to the southwest of Mexico on August 26. The cyclone peaked with maximum sustained winds of 70 km/h (45 mph) and a minimum atmospheric pressure of 1001 mbar (hPa; 29.56 inHg) before passing just offshore western Mexico and dissipating in the Gulf of California. Despite not making landfall, Hernan dropped extremely heavy rainfall across several states, peaking at nearly 610 mm (24 in) in Jalisco. More than 305 mm (12 in) of rain fell across the Costa Grande of Guerrero from August 24 to 27. A total of 1,674 homes and 9 schools suffered severe damage. A man died after falling off his roof while checking for storm damage. The cyclone caused MXN$594.05 million (USD$26.91 million) in damage across seven states along the Pacific coast of Mexico.
