Forum:Hubs - are they dead ?

The Hubs link in the central side bar appears to be a dead idea !


 * 1 Entertainment - you get to the new fangled Myhome page ! - waste of space 'white'
 * 2 Gaming - ditto -
 * 3 Hobbies - Dead - create page offered
 * 4 Sports - you get to the 'old style hub which offers access to lots of other wikia - which is what you expect
 * 5 Biggest Wiki - Ditto
 * More = Category hubs several of which redirect -

Coming to central from the WIKIA link on top of a wiki's side bar you get to the nice front page with plenty of links to game sites a a few policy page links but not a page that allows access to navigate central. I had to get here via a few 'extra' pages.

So is the idea of a central hub from which to navigate to other wikia Dead and is thers a new 'Central' interface to help navigation ? Getting to other wikia does not seem very intuitive unless you know they are there and how to find them. I know template wiki exists but finding it - no were is the link to it without digging in catagories or coming across a link in a discussion on the forum (which was i think how i became aware of it originally).

Note: These are a few comments that other may wish to comment on / bear in mind. I'm not looking to enter into a debate as such as i rarely visit central (as it dosent work for me in terms of navigation ease). So i thought id flag it up as it appears to get more un user friendly, as new ideas are introduced.

BTW: There are some good tips hidden in some of the help posts from some helpful and knowledgeable editors, but a lot of it probably goes un noticed by most editors. IMO.
