Wiki-navigation
Back to wiki stuff, I have been wondering, one the menu bar why are there hearts only by two tabs, and not the others? Katherine Rebekah (talk) 19:04, April 30, 2015 (UTC)

Also, under the tab The Books on the menu bar, the links for Other written works and Expanding the world are not working. Is that because there is no content yet? Katherine Rebekah (talk) 19:12, April 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * The hearts were done like that... because I felt the books and the film covers two different types of media that presented the trilogy's universe, whereas characters is just something within the universe... and the "... and more!" is something even more misc., but I did also put a heart on "This community", as it was originally a tab itself and is kinda like how we approach the trilogy so that's another aspect. I did try adding hearts to them all but it just looked weird and overly used imo.


 * Some tabs on the bar aren't working because I disabled them, as in the past people have the tendency to just create a page and insert gibberish in it. Once the page is created I will establish the link.

 * Okay that may actually makes sense. Yes, I think we have all seen (and are tired of) the gibberish inserters. lol. So good move. Katherine Rebekah (talk) 20:24, April 30, 2015 (UTC)

Fonts
I've taken to use the strategy from the CDT to go through Google Fonts; [https://www.google.com/fonts#ReviewPlace:refine/Collection:Nosifer%7CNixie+One%7CIM+Fell+DW+Pica+SC%7CDosis%7CBubblegum+Sans%7CPatrick+Hand%7CCrafty+Girls%7CJust+Another+Hand%7CUnkempt%7CSue+Ellen+Francisco%7CEconomica%7CEater%7CFredericka+the+Great%7CStalemate%7CPoiret+One%7CCabin+Sketch%7CDelius+Swash+Caps%7CBad+Script%7CHenny+Penny%7CQuicksand%7CLondrina+Sketch%7CIM+Fell+French+Canon%7CThe+Girl+Next+Door%7CWire+One%7CTenor+Sans%7CJosefin+Sans%7CLobster%7CWaiting+for+the+Sunrise%7CGochi+Hand%7CReenie+Beanie%7CLondrina+Outline%7CShadows+Into+Light%7CJosefin+Slab%7CWalter+Turncoat%7CGloria+Hallelujah%7CFontdiner+Swanky%7CBigelow+Rules%7CGrand+Hotel%7CIM+Fell+Great+Primer%7CClicker+Script%7CMonoton%7CIndie+Flower%7CTitillium+Web%7CYanone+Kaffeesatz%7COxygen%7CNunito%7CPacifico%7CDancing+Script%7CAlegreya%7CKarla%7CVarela+Round%7CBangers%7CPatua+One%7CAbril+Fatface%7CCovered+By+Your+Grace%7CAmatic+SC%7CKaushan+Script%7CRighteous%7CNoticia+Text%7CArchitects+Daughter%7CChewy%7CCourgette%7CLobster+Two%7CComing+Soon%7CRock+Salt%7CSatisfy%7CHandlee%7CShadows+Into+Light+Two%7CSpecial+Elite%7CAdvent+Pro%7CDamion%7CNothing+You+Could+Do%7CBerkshire+Swash%7CAlice%7CMarmelad%7CRochester%7CSacramento%7CRancho%7CAllerta+Stencil%7CFreckle+Face%7CSlackey%7CIM+Fell+English%7CChelsea+Market%7CLove+Ya+Like+A+Sister%7CAnnie+Use+Your+Telescope%7CKranky%7CQuando%7CMystery+Quest%7CRye%7CSancreek%7CIM+Fell+Double+Pica%7CGriffy%7CRaleway+Dots%7CIM+Fell+Great+Primer+SC%7CRibeye+Marrow%7CMiltonian+Tattoo%7CRisque%7CMiltonian%7CPurple+Purse here] are the 99 fonts I've narrowed down to (out of the initial 703 when I viewed), not all of them are meant for this wiki, those are just 99 fonts "in general" that I think are okay to look at. Will probably then start narrowing down specifically for this wiki when I'm on break from time to time. Unclear what the fonts are for? The only "obvious" example I can name off the top of my head is like w:c:aliceinwonderland:The Mad Hatter. Feel free to share the ones (preferably out of the 99) you feel suitable! -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 05:40, August 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Quick update 51 fonts after second round filtering. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 05:49, August 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, I love a good font. :)


 * I like:
 * Bad Script - Loven the thin, curvy lettering. Feels whimsical to me.


 * Dancing Script - Again, I'm attracted to the delicate curves.


 * Kaushan Script - This one is also curvy, but it's also thicker, which I thin grounds it a little better. I also like how the ends are pointy. Looks like fantasy to me.


 * Not feeling 'em:
 * Fredericka the Great - To me the sketchy look doesn't feel like it fits with the fantasy theme.


 * Henny Penny - I know it looks whimsical, but the off setting of the letting is getting a little childish, IMO.


 * Covered By Your Grace - It looks a little too messy, IMO.


 * Raleway Dots - Hard to read.


 * On the fence:
 * Love Ya Like A Sister - I still don't feel like the sketchy look is the way to go, but this one looks a little more sophisticated. But is it fantasy? Not sure.


 * Amatic SC - I find this one appealing, but I'm just not sure that it fits.


 * For the record, Kaushan Script is 100% my favorite. Hope this helps! Katherine Rebekah (talk) 23:34, September 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey!! Thanks for taking the time and list out your picks! I'll review them when I have the time (cuz I'll have to match the name you provided and the actual fonts... Will add links when I start on it so other people have easier access to compare) -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:27, September 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmmm interesting... "Fredericka the Great" is actually one of my top picks lol. I write a more thorough explanation when I have time! xP -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:55, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

Builtin supported

 * }
 * So I just tried viewing this page on my iPhone 4S, and narrow down a lot of fonts, but on the other hand, some fonts I'd think as given also weren't all showing up (Century Gothic!) So I still need input!

 * I have looked at your latest list of fonts (the one at the bottom) and they all work for me on Safari, Chrome and Firefox on my Mac.


 * My advice would be to check with a Windows user who has Internet Explorer as well as the new the Microsoft Edge browser (The default browser in Windows 10) because I believe that one or two of the fonts you have listed are native only to Mac but it seems like a good list and you eliminated most of the problematic ones that I could see. So good work!

 * Hey! Thanks for help checking out! It's good to know that at least the filtered version seemed to all work for you as well, however, is there any fonts from the unfiltered section you are also able to see? For example, you've used Cambria before, and has RW, so theoretically a lot of people should be able to see them, or it would be kind of useless to set it as the font, yet that's one of the fonts that does not show on my phone; so I'd like to know if there's still other perhaps still very desk/laptop friendly fonts up there. =] -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 03:07, October 31, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've asked a Staff about this, apparently it really's down to what most people have on there system, not really related to Wikia; it just so happen that there's more common fonts than others. The second list is still kind of useful because I know I def. didn't install any additional fonts on my phone, so chances are a lot of people have those fonts by default as well.

Tabbers
outside, but because of this, I had to add   at the beginning and end of each tabber content... Kind of wish it could all be avoided through internal styling. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:13, September 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Here is something that might work:


 * That way, you're aligning only that part in the center (and you should be able to remove the divs). ~Playsonic2 19:44, September 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * OMG THANK YOU! It worked! I overthought it and saw it too literal... I was like "text-align"... but the texts were already aligned centered (within the tabs), so I didn't even bother trying and ruled it out until you suggested it! Thank you so much! -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:31, September 5, 2015 (UTC)
