Discussion before the aesthetics were changed

SO far, this has been the only redesign I support and like. The only thing I'd change is kill the count=5 on the daily DPL. Its nice to be able to see everything for today. (Maybe when we're bigger a count = 5 would be good, but for now, thats killing half our stories, and we need all we can get. At least increase to seven) Bawolff ☺☻ 00:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I like it. The only other issue is that when the day ends, the number of articles (in the today list), decreases abruptly. However you can't do much aboput that. Bawolff ☺☻ 00:25, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

What I wanted to do was include news from yeterday, too, but I wouldn't be quite sure how to do that. You could have something with CURRENTDAY minus one, but that won't always work (e.g. June 1 would become June 0). What could we do for that case? —THIS IS MESSEDOCKER (TALK) 00:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Well you could do that with some fancy templating (you could make 0 turn into previous day, but it takes a lot of work), however I don't think DPL's work with templates. We could do it like how we currently do the days (bots), but only have two days. We could have two date categories on an article, but thats a messy solutions, on a road that proably isn't a good one to go down. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Fixed - what I did was made the DPL based off of the Published Article category - that way, the news stays recent, and when a new day comes, perfectly legitimate news won't get wiped off the main page. —THIS IS MESSEDOCKER (TALK) 18:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I much prefer this layout. The organisation by topics is much much better. --Skenmy^{(talk)|(ideas)} 14:31, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
