* Okay I am adding draft 2 below. | |||
<div style="background:#CECEF2; text-align:center; padding:1px; border-bottom:1px #B8C7D9 solid;"><h3 style="margin:.5em; margin-top:.1em; border-bottom:0; font-weight:bold;">Recent articles</h3></div> | |||
{{Collapse top|bg=#F0F2F5|title= Click {{Blue|[show/hide]}} to see "recent articles"}} | |||
These are the newest articles of Sarkarverse. The entries are in the following format.: | |||
* [date time] [article title] [page creator's username] | |||
{{Special:NewPages}} | |||
{{Collapse bottom}} | |||

Draft 2 is still off-center. But I also don't like the format... too bold, too many colors, and the list is too long. Here is my suggestion, showing only the 10 most recent articles - could be reduced to only 5 - and with a more subdued appearance, similar to (not clashing with) the other sections. | |||
<div style="background:#CECEF2; text-align:center; padding:1px; border-bottom:1px #B8C7D9 solid;"><h3 style="margin:.5em; margin-top:.1em; border-bottom:0; font-weight:bold;">Recent articles</h3></div> | |||

* Yes, a list of 10 is looking good and clear. Added help text. --<span style="background:orange;border:orange ridge">[[User:Tito Dutta|Tito]]</span><span style="color:blue;background:white;otit;border-bottom-style:ridge;">☸</span><span style="background:#57C738;border:green ridge">[[User talk:Tito Dutta|Dutta]]</span> 08:45, 24 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
;Draft 04 | |||
I'm inclined to go with a list of only 5 links. It maintains better balance on the page. We can expand it to 10 or change the title to "Latest articles" or "Most recent articles" when we start to get more than 5 new articles in a day on a frequent basis. As to the help text, I don't think it's needed. The format is intuitive. And the help text anyway omits the author's comment when posting the article... which I also might prefer to omit from the list, but I'm not seeing that option. It would also be good to add the parameter "namespace=Main"... which I am doing now... to limit the articles to the Main namespace. I considered adding the Navbar, but I don't like having it both above and below the list. So we can do without that. Also, I have added two line breaks at the end to ensure that the white space after the new section will be same as the other sections. See the following, which - with your permission - I will add immediately to the Main page. | |||
<div style="background:#CECEF2; text-align:center; padding:1px; border-bottom:1px #B8C7D9 solid;"><h3 style="margin:.5em; margin-top:.1em; border-bottom:0; font-weight:bold;">Recent articles</h3></div> | |||

On further reflection, if we are only going to have 5 links, then having a collapsible list is not needed. We can simplify this still further with the following. --[[User:Abhidevananda|Abhidevananda]] ([[User talk:Abhidevananda|talk]]) 09:14, 24 November 2014 (UTC) | |||

== Colour scheme == | |||
Namaskar,<br/>we need to plan our colour scheme. On Bn Sarkarverse we have a colour scheme, see [[:bn:প্রধান_পাতা]]..<br/>I am proposing the following colour composition.<br/>(Light) green, {Light) blue, Red, Saffron.

: As you know, I prefer less colors over more, simple over complex. But I'm not fussed about the color scheme. You may change it if you like. However, please don't change the spacing of the sections. In particular, the new section, "Latest articles", requires some line breaks after it to maintain balance on the page. Without the line breaks, the graphic tends to runs into the following section header on computers with a higher screen resolution. --[[User:Abhidevananda|Abhidevananda]] ([[User talk:Abhidevananda|talk]]) 15:12, 14 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
