The MOTM and the latest map come first, then 5 top-rated maps and the 5 most recent maps.
Wouldn't it be better if in this case, "latest map" would also consider maps that were recently updated even if they were old enough not to show up on this list?
I have a little problem with the current criteria for picking the top-rated maps. Right now, if you go to the map vault and sort by rating, it will sort by
average rating. So if you have a map with 738 5-star ratings and 1 1-star rating, it will show up after a map that only had 1 5-star rating. I personally believe a more refined criterion is in order for it to be fair.
See example:(Page 24 of current map vault)This may also apply to MOTM.
Also regarding the map vault, I'd like to make further suggestions, such as:
- A more betterer layout for the list of maps, I think it looks like it needs to be tidied up a bit. Things like the time of the upload probably don't matter that much on the general list, while the date of the last update would be more interesting.
- More sorting and filtering options. Such as by uploader (so that you don't have to go find their profile somewhere else first), date, last update, download count (who doesn't want to know which is the most downloaded map on TWHL?) or other such things other people will start coming up with soon.
- As it was already discussed in the Shoutbox a few days ago, even if nobody would care because it's more about what's done internally , it would be convenient if the map download was delivered with the map's name as the filename, regardless of how it was stored (keeping the number in the server would probably be the cleanest)
Wiki edits will get prime coverage on the front page.
Including if I fix an eight-year-old misspelling?

I'll come back if I come up with more.
