Can someone with Admin privileges please update the top Nav bar? It's the midpoint of Season 2, yet even the "Season 1" nav menu is incomplete.
I'm an Admin over on Game of Thrones Wiki.
To edit the top Nav bar, go to this address: http://starwarsrebels.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation?action=edit
Anyone can view the source but only Admins can edit it.
There are physical limits to Wikia nav bars they consist of three Tiers. You can have 5 Tier 1 menu items, which in turn can have up to 7 Tier 2 items. Tier 3 items are in dropdown menus, up to 10 of them. Thus any "Tier 1" menu tab can have 7 x 10 = 70 items, and overall the nav bar can contain 70 x 5 = 350 items.
However, you can't actually edit the first Tier 1 tab, with the basic links to "Wiki activity", "photos", "forum" etc. So it's more like you have 4 Tier 1 tabs, and 4 x 70 = 280 menu items you can actually control.
'''I strongly suggest you replace the "Star Wars Rebels Wiki" tab with another one.''' You're wasting an entire "Tier 1" tab, capable of holding up to ''seventy'' (70) menu items, on just a link to wiki polices and a dropdown menu of Admins. What I did on Game of Thrones Wiki was move the announcements and links about policies and Admins to the "Community Messages" sidebar, which shows up in the Recent Changes page -- http://starwarsrebels.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Community-corner?action=edit
Anyway, I put some thought into it, and here's my suggestions for a basic nav bar redesign -- by no means perfect, but a good starting point which can be refined and tweaked later:
Tier 1: Episodes; Characters; Groups, Species, & Planets; Vehicles & Technology
*Episodes
Needs to update Season 1.
Should include "Season 3", and also the other "Media" things like "Comics", "Books", "Rebels Recon", and "Video Games" - you'll remove some of these extra ones as the TV series expands into more TV seasons - so far the 7 Tier 2 slots under "Episodes" are kind of use it or lose it, so might as well make the comics and stuff more visible (particularly because Hidalgo and Finoli actually frequently mention the comics in Rebels Recon).

This is just for starters, it can be refined later. But it would greatly encourage further editing if new visitors could easily find stuff through the top navigation bar.--[[User:The Dragon Demands|The Dragon Demands]] ([[User talk:The Dragon Demands|talk]]) 05:44, December 13, 2015 (UTC)<ac_metadata title="Please update the top Navigation bar - with suggestions"> </ac_metadata>
