I don't think I've visited the main page in years, and I visit this wiki daily. I would think that most casual readers would find the wiki via google searches and external links to content pages, and would therefore bypass the main page completely. But if there are people who do visit the home page frequently, it's a fair point.

I was in a Council meeting with Jamie, Nathan and some dev peeps a couple months back (no spoilers - NDA) but they showed the majority of our main page traffic goes to the character portals and this week's comics. Across all wikis, polls and Featured Articles get some attention, but all the other usual things people have on main pages - sliders, social media, admin messages - barely get anything.
