Edit: Hijacking topic to get this over with. We have two issues: where/how the affiliations are displayed and what should our criteria for affiliations be. Let's handle one issue at a time.

Issue 1: where/how are we placing the affiliations on the main page:
 * Keep it as it is (a list on the right side of the page)
 * 1caiser
 * C933103
 * Thescanner
 * Move the list to the center of the main page, but don't change anything else.
 * Make a section on the main page where all the affiliated wiki wordmarks are displayed.
 * Make a slideshow for the wordmarks and have a link to the full list.
 * Dim1

This vote will be up for exactly one week until August 29th (Friday), 18:00 (UTC).

If anyone has any more variants, post it within this week or forever hold your tongue. Anyone may change their vote during the week. The votes will only be counted after the voting is closed.

As you know we've gone back and forth between affiliation of wikias and stuff. Currently, the requests are piling up and I did stall them, but now I think is a good time make a good list of requirements to determine affiliation. Especially since we seperated out the interlang wikias on the page.

Affiliation is basically we throw their name up on our main page. Problem is we don't want a list of 20 wikias that will make the main page excessively large. (Either that or we make a scrollable template to contain all of them in a set area or something, but making that is something I have no clue if it is possible or how to do it, or maybe something that cycles through the affiliated wikia wordmarks like a slideshow on repeat)

Anyway what do we require of wikias to affiliate: So have your say, but I think if we go with the unlimited approach we will need a specialize template to deal with the total list of affiliation. 
 * Are they an active wikia?
 * Do they have to stay in the gaming genre
 * Swords Genre
 * Same animation studio
 * Same publishing company?
 * Same anime season?
 * Cause they are popular? (attact people)
 * Anything?
