Suggestions: Site Content and Layout
I have already put through a suggestion to change the featured article to that of the Collector page. My reasoning for this is due to the fact that the page has been unchanged since the release of Mass Effect 2 (to the best of my knowledge) and it should be changed to keep up with the recent activity with regards to the game. In the same spirit, I believe that the front page could use even further remodeling. The "Contents" section is unnecessary in my opinion and could be switched in position with the News section.

While this wikia is quite informative and detailed, it lacks any noticeable dynamic presence on its front page. Since changes are constantly being made to the game in the form of patches, dlcs and other content changes, I think that it would be helpful to move the news section of the main page to a more prominent position. If you're wondering what kind of layout I'm talking about, here's an example:

Another suggestion I have relates to another dynamic portion of the wikia. I believe that the Forum itself deserves an actual line on the left sidebar of the wikia. Removing it from the subset of community and placing it on its own line might foster some more activity within the wikia.

In summary, I believe that the list of "Contents" on the front page should be condensed and switched in place with the news section since it is already accessible via the search engine and the sidebar. In it's place I suggest that we expand the News Section. This would include but not be limited to DLC news, Patch News, Release Dates, Comic News and more. In other words, it's latest entry would relate to the Cerberus DLC recently released instead of Mass Effect 2 being released. I also suggest that we give the Forum its own line in the sidebar.
