Let's get this out of the way... they aren't your wikis. You created them and you can guide their growth, but you don't own them, FANDOM does.

Other than that... having a good main page is one of the best ways to attract contributors.

Here are some quick tips for how to make a good main page (I used this in a different similar thread):
 * Use correct spelling and grammar.
 * Have a good summary about what the wiki is about on the main page.
 * Don't leave out key info:
 * If the wiki is fan fic, it should say so.
 * If the wiki is encyclopedic info it should say so.
 * If the wiki more like a personal sandbox, it should say so.
 * A nice header graphic related to the topic should show up near the top of the main page.
 * Put links to important pages on the main page.
 * Don't have pages that don't have any links to them from other pages.


 * Next steps
 * Make or find nice graphics for main characters or objects (planes, ships, tanks, etc.) and put them with links on the main page.
 * This is sometimes called a profile table. You will see them on most good wikis.
 * If you have enough pages you can make a table with links to subtopics like characters, episodes, items, quests, etc.
 * Make and use a nice wordmark
 * Make and use a nice background theme image.
 * Start categorizing pages.
