The revamp itself is not up for discussion. The wiki is and looks old, and is not up with current features and needs. We all agreed on that. The finished design is being discussed and tested by my fellow admins and I. It will submitted to the community for discussion and suggestions.

If I look at http://hayday.wikia.com/wiki/Event_Board?action=history I only see 3 summaries (and not two, sorry): 'clarified', 'Converted to table. Added missing information.' and 'updated B&E event'. All the other edits have no summary. I can see you edited the holiday section but you didn't mention why. I've just done some testing and I can see the wiki doesn't prevent you from adding a real summary when you edit a section. I didn't know about this. I'm sorry it is so. Here's another good reason why we want to remove section edits. To clarify then, each edit should have a summary mentioning what changes you did (added pic, added information about XYZ, corrected a typo, reworded a sentence for better clarity, etc.) so fellow editors know why the page was edited and can easily spot the changes when looking at the page. If you've made a major change which you feel doesn't need to be discussed, explaining why you did is also a good idea. Again, I'll edit our manual of style to mention all of this.

It is not desktop-friendly because a scrolling bar is there when you view the page at 16px (which is the default font size on Firefox).

I do not personally find it more readable. Also it makes the pictures much smaller, which diminishes attractiveness. Although this is a wikipedia our aim is not to have lots and lots of text.

I can see now that you added information about personal rewards. I like the idea but I do not think the way it was displayed made it clear. I don't think you need to detail which decorations were given are rewards either. Also is the information complete? I mean are these all the types of rewards people got?
