Navigation Ideas
In the Blog, the wiki voted to update the Navigation.

You may be wondering why I don't have any shows or aliens listed in the various sub-sections of the Navigation? Well that's because I have a proposal. Only 7 pages would be in each section, and to determine which ones would be on the Navigation, YOU, the Community would comment on this blog and nominate a show/alien by saying:

I NOMINATE  TO BE IN THE  TAB, AS PART OF THE  SECTION. 

After a couple of days, I would take all the nominations for each Tab and Section. If there are more then 7, I would take all these pages, and put them in http://www.randomresult.com/pick.php. This website would randomly select 7 shows/aliens and whatever the shows/aliens are would be put onto the certain sections. This would make sure we were being "fair" to all shows and not being bias.

So, what do you think?

Please state your opinion by using two templates in your comments.

For deciding if this version of the new Navigation should be used, use:

For Deciding if we should nominate different shows/aliens and then randomly select 7 to be on different sections of the Navigation, use: 

.

To make these templates, type and  in Source Mode. Please give VALID reasons to why you Support or Oppose both decisions.

Voting for both of these things ends on Saturday, February 1st, 2014.
