This is a straw man for a new TWS2 homepage. Anyone is welcome to edit it. If you have ideas or questions, ask on this page's Talk page.

This page will be archived and removed when we all generally agree on a new homepage layout, and institute it.

Total War: Shogun 2
Overview
Welcome to newcomers - page includes the usual tips to newbies on posting to the wiki, but also specifics on e.g. appending TWS2 to all new TWS2 pages
Wikipedia overview - maybe this should link straight to Wikipedia... why not, eh?
Intro for beginners to TW games - this can be a single page that all TW games can point to
Background of the game - a history lesson on mid-1500s Japan; just a couple of pages, with lots of links for interested readers
Modern Japan, in comparison to the game's period
Community - links to TW TWS2 forums first, then other good TWS2 forums
Links - all other good related gamesites/wikis and feudal Japan sites
Game Mechanics - by far the single biggest meta-category
Many many subcategories
Strategic map
Many many subcategories
Combat
Many many subcategories
Multiplayer - specifics, and as opposed to SP
DLC / expansions - I guess Content Managers will have to decide if DLC or expansions warrant a completely "separate" wiki, on a case by case basis
Deeper
General interface tips and tricks
Modding the game in general - how-to, popular mods
Tweaking the interface and game - how to modify it for yourself as opposed to downloadable mods
Many more categories here too


We all have our pet categories. The above is only a straw man which I expect to be enormously modified before we post this to the TWS2 homepage.

Also, I don't know anything about making "pretty" boxed, newspaper-wrap presentations, like you see here ... I trust someone can help us make it look pretty.
