Refresh link at bottom of main page

The wiki uses a system of caching to conserve server resources. The main page is written in such a way that in incorporates what the wiki considers other pages (although they're technically just elements of itself). The wiki caches these elements so as to have them preloaded for when the main page displays, which is all good, until an element, for instance, the featured article, or the welcome box, is updated, but the main page continues to display its cached version. There is, of course, an extremely simple workaround for this, and for caching in any page, by simply appending "&action=purge" to the end of it in the url bar and hitting enter, but for the convenience of all involved, could you put in a small "refresh this page" link at the bottom of the main page? The wiki code for it is extremely simple, of course:

[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{PAGENAME}}|action=purge}} Refresh] this page.

I have set up a task that will purge the page cache for the main page at regular intervals. --InfiniSoft (T/C) 16:30, 25 June 2006 (EDT)

Time to bold Misc and Quests

Now that Misc and Quests have a decent number of articles, should they be bolded?--Jump off duck 15:37, 8 September 2006 (EDT)

Shields and Monsters, too, maybe? --Jump off duck 18:39, 16 September 2006 (EDT)
I've unbolded the links since we seem to have a fair number of those categories filled with articles in them -- unless you think we need to emphasize the ones that don't have any/many articles in them. They could be put in italics. --InfiniSoft (T/C) 00:21, 18 November 2006 (EST)

Copyright violation

Might your logo be a copyright violation of the Wikimedia Foundation? Sean Fennel 00:59, 2 December 2006 (EST)

This logo should have been replaced a long time ago. I replaced the default MediaWiki one with this and this was only supposed to be short-term generic image. However, soon (possibly this month, when I finally have time to do it) the skin being used right now will be replaced with one more themed for the site and the template will NOT include the image. --InfiniSoft (T/C) 16:46, 2 December 2006 (EST)
Made a quick logo replacement for now, this should work until the skin is changed. Thanks for bringing it up! --InfiniSoft (T/C) 16:58, 2 December 2006 (EST)

Wizard Games

Can an adiministrator just put a new event on main page? Like The Wizard Games. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Juan Cruz (talkcontribs) 08:11, 7 February 2008.

Undead War!

Undead War is here, and the events in the Main Page are from late 2007!

Refresh it, please! Juan Cruz 17:38, 22 February 2008 (EST)

The user which maintained the front page news events hasn't been around for awhile, and I've been too busy lately to keep it updated myself. Anyone want to volunteer to help update the front page? --infinisoft talk 00:43, 25 February 2008 (EST)
I can although I may or may not be on one or two days in a row. Usually I check the site atleast twice daily.

Now It's done! I have upgraded the events, so now they look more actual.
