1)How do I
create a special page (New
system features?) that will show up on the
sidebar?
Right now this can only be done by changing the PHP code that runs the
wikipedia.
2)Can we place a link at least on the recent
changes page and the homepage (could it be in a
different color and blink?) and how does inserting a
link to a special page differ from inserting a link
to a regular page?
Editing the special pages is something which can only be done
programatically, or by a sysop. I think we can and should make
the link a different color, but I'm sure a blinking link will
become distracting very quickly.
Distracting is putting it mildly. For me, it would literally make the
Wikipedia unusable, because I would be unable to look at the pages
comfortable. I may not be the only contributor who has difficulties
with blinking objects, including Web links.
