To clarify the link suggestions, the icons for the games are solely images at the moment, so external websites can't really identify what they are without an actual text element. While they have the game name as part of the image, an additional text element would help search engines recognize what links actually exist in that section, and so highlight the content more in search results (which the vast majority of people use to seek info).


 * Basically, just replicate how the character and location sections appear, with the text underneath the icons. For all sections, these texts should be links also.

The Twitter section doesn't link to an existing account at the moment, so if there's a relevant official one that would suit the wiki, it could be changed to that (and even include a feed). There's one for the Suicide Squad game, so could use that? (EDIT: Actually, a BatmanArkham one does exist, it's just not being linked to at present, only the general twitter website is, so just needs some tweaking.)

The poll suggestion is great, I've got no problems with that.

Regarding the Community tab for the top navigation bar, I'd suggest placing all community related info on Special:Community, as a default link exists for that in the "Explore" tab. This leaves room to devote most of the topnav for content, the first option ideally updated to highlight new stuff, like the upcoming Suicide Squad. There's a good staff blog you can check out here with tips for designing local wiki navigation.

Having a manual of style/guidelines is definitely a good idea. An MoS is actually encouraged now for all new wikis, so that the commmunity's all on the same page when it comes to editing.

I'll get to work on some of those main page suggestions over the coming days. If there are any further improvements you can think of, just let me know.
