Board Thread:Support Requests - Designing Your Wikia/@comment-24652145-20150422095748

Hi! I'm SnowyMountain, a new Admin from theTo Hollywood and Beyond! Wikia.

I was wondering if there was any way to create some sort of icon or text attachment that is added automatically to any new pages that we create on our site.

Basically, we were interested in attracting a casual viewer to new pages that we've created. Even though we have the Recent Activity Box and Pages, it doesn't actually emphasize or tell people what stuff is new, just what stuff has changed or been modified. Paritcularly since we're usually adding or modifying our site content on a daily basis, someone who maybe visits our site every other week or so would have to scroll back through several pages to find out what we've done.

We have a lot of hyperlinks on some of our pages so what we were interested in was some sort of small icon or perhaps something like some text like NEW! in bold, blinking, or maybe different colors or whatever.

We were hopeful that such a thing could be tagged automatically to these hyperlinks, maybe even so that they were listed in some of the Subcategories hyperlinks to indicate that those specific subcategories have new content in them.

To make things even more complex, this coding that we've interested in would have to be something time-linked so that after a certain amount of time, the NEW! icon or text would automatically delete itself. Say like after 7 days or a week.

Does anyone have anything remotely like this? Or know of how to build it? Or is this just too complicated and we should simply give up and try to figure out something else?
