Layout Reform

Main Page: Remove the link to the Guide Directory, since it's already linked in the Topbar

Topbar:

Guide Directory: Could be very helpful for finding a specific guide and if kept updated, as of now is a little bit messy and incomplete. I'd keep in the Topbar, pending major updates.

[Staff Tools]:

• Contest Deadlines Tool: [This page has been archived.] It appears this tool is broken, and I don't believe has been used in a while. I'd recommend just archiving this and removing it from the dropdown.
• Beautilog: This tool only applies to certain IRC chat programs, and given that its creator hasn't been active on the wiki in a while, I doubt those "TODO"s will be done any time soon. Unless someone wants to pick this up, I'd recommend archiving this one, especially since I've hardly ever seen it used, and remove it from the dropdown.
• O5 Command Tags: [WILL COMPLETE THOUGHTS LATER]
• Timers 2.0: I have no problem keeping this up, as long as Helen stays functioning

[Information Pages]:

• Form Letters: Assuming Admins still make use of this page, I'd propose this get moved to the [Staff Tools] dropdown on the Topbar. It's less a page for "information" and more a "tool" for Admins to quickly deny or accept site admissions. I'd also rename it on the Topbar from "Form Letters for Apps" to "Form Letters" to match with its actual name.
• Staff List: This is a vital page that is used often, so I have no trouble keeping it on under this dropdown. I'd advise renaming this page to "Staff List: Site", since the other currently functioning staff listing page, Staff List: Chat, identifies itself via the "Chat" moniker. Thus, adding a "Site" moniker to the "Staff List" page would make it easier for identification.
• Staff List: Chat: I have no trouble keeping this under this dropdown either, although it needs to be updated.
• Misplaced Images: [This page has been archived.] I don't really see the point in keeping this page, especially now since users can no longer upload files onto pages that aren't their's. I'd archive this page and remove it from the dropdown.
• Locked Pages: [This page has been archived.] This I have no trouble with staying under the dropdown, as long as it stays updated.
• Staff Templates: [This page has been archived.] This page needs some heavy updating, and given it still uses the Sandbox 2 link in one its templates, I doubt this page is being used. That being said, I do believe it can be helpful if updated. If the applicable teams would like to update this page, that'd be great. However, given this page is hardly used, I'd archive it and remove it from the dropdown for now.
• Underage Site Applicants: [This page has been archived.] This page is quite literally defunct, as stated on the page itself, and thus is to be archived and taken from the dropdown.
• Original Pages: While I see the value in keeping a record of the original EditThis Wiki series list, I'd rather it be replaced with a link to the SCP Classic Wiki, which is a staff-run recreation of the original wiki with not only the EditThis series, but also direct copies of the articles.

[Bot Related]: I'd consider renaming this dropdown to "[Bot Tools]" given these pages are "tools" for bots the same way the [Staff Tools] dropdown contains "tools" for Staff. Likewise, I'd move this dropdown next to the [Staff Tools] dropdown, though that isn't strictly necessary.

• Atrribution Metadata: I'm fine with this staying under this dropdown.
• Chat Ban Page: [This page has been archived.] Same with this one.

[Team Hubs]: I'm fine with this dropdown, with my only objection being that the team names are horribly inconsistent. I'll present my proposed changes below.

• Ambassador Hub: This is the only one I'm fine with being consistent since it isn't really a team in the typical sense.
• Community Outreach: Rename this on the dropdown to "Community Outreach Team".
• Criticism Team: Forum: Rename this on the dropdown to "Forum Criticism Team".
• Criticism Team: Site: Rename this on the dropdown to "Site Criticism Team".
• Disciplinary Committee: Rename this on the dropdown to "Disciplinary Team".
• Harassment Team: Keep as is.
• Internet Outreach: Rename this on the dropdown to "Internet Outreach Team".
• License Experts: Rename this on the dropdown to "Licensing Team".
• Rewrite Team: Keep as is.
• Technical Staff: Rename this on the dropdown to "Technical Team".
• Wikiwalk Team: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Wikiwalk has been moved under Tech team's jurisdiction. As such, it should be archived and removed from the dropdown.

Sidebar:

(Note that I'm going from top to bottom, so the "First Section" is everything above the first line break, the "Second Section" is the stuff in between the first and second line break, and so on)

First Section:

• Welcome Page: I believe this link can be removed. You can literally access the Main Page just by clicking the header, it's not necessary on the Sidebar.
• Staff Structure: I think this should be moved to the [Information Pages] dropdown on the Topbar, below "Staff List: Chat". It's exclusively for detailing "information" on how staff is structured, and thus belongs as an information page.
• Forum: This should definitely stay here, since it's vital for staff to navigate previous records of discussion.
• Site Charter: Same thing as the above, I'd place this below "Staff Structure" since, generally, when policy discussion is occurring, the structure of staff is more likely to be discussed than 05 itself.

Second Section:

Given that a good number of the staff teams' chats are either inactive or are linked on the Chat Guide anyways, I'd think it'd be much better if it was just a straight link to the Help Chat page, rather than a collapsible with all the team hubs (which are already linked under [Team Hubs] on the Topbar).

Third Section:

This section can stay as is.

Fourth Section:

This can also stay as is.

Fifth Section:

This should be removed. There's not really a point to having it on 05, in my opinion.

Sixth Section:

I also feel like this section can be removed. Timers 2.0 is already linked under [Staff Tools] on the Topbar, and the Deletions Schedule is mostly the same thing as Timers 2.0, minus the schedule itself. Perhaps both pages can be consolidated, with the schedule moving onto Timers 2.0.

Seventh Section:**

This can just be a linked to "Archived Pages", since all the pages listed under the collapsible are tagged as archived anyways, so they're no different from the "Archived Pages" which are also linked under the collapsible. The Archived Pages should be updated, and the collapsible removed to just be a link to Archived Pages.

Eight Section:

This can remain the same.
