Yeah, there is the "more and more crap" problem ... what would people suggest removing, if anything?
(There is a plan somewhere on the Village Pump to reorganise the sidebar completely.)
Well here's my 2 cents:
Main page: scrap it, it's redundant. That's what clicking on the ball does. Community portal: Worst name ever Featured content: Keep, but possibly rename Current events: Weird, never even noticed this before. Do people actually click it? Recent changes: Scrap it. Good for tiny wikis. Useless at WP. Move to toolbox if it must be kept. About Wikipedia: Good addition. Contact us: Keep Make a donation: Keep Help: Something tells me people look for help in the top right hand corner. But keep.
In the toolbox: What links here: Keep, very useful Related changes: Somewhat useful Upload file: Scrap it. Nuke from space. Haven't we been saying this for years? Special pages: Keep, very useful (but consider renaming) Printable version: Keep, but perhaps this would work better as a tab (like discussion, edit this page etc - it's a different view of the same page, right?) Permanent link: Yeah, I guess. Never used it. But for a newbie...
