If you want to put your signature without using <nowiki>{{User:Effluvium/sig}}</nowiki>, I think you have to go to your preferences and type your custom signature in the signature box. I'm not so sure so I'll try with my signature. If I discover it, I'll tell you. {{User:TheHomer/sig}} 17:17, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

| |
| − | Hello, I've noticed that you have tagged several pages for deletion, which is great. However, when you add the delete tag, could you please leave whatever content is in there, even if it's blatant vandalism? It makes things easier for us to assess. For example, with Characters in the Simpsons Hit and Run, there was a redirect there. You removed the redirect and said it should be deleted because there was no content. Next time, just say "useless redirect". -- [[User:Brian McClure|Brian McClure]] 21:30, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

| |
| − | Hi. Instead of putting Site News in the News section, like you said, I think we should put it in the sitenotice. What do you think? [[User:Effluvium|Effluvium]] 17:53, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :Yeah, the sitenotice would be better. We could add a bigger box under, over or next to the other three or replace the "IRC" box. {{User:TheHomer/sig}} 18:44, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::THe IRC box is to try and attract people to IRC, although it doesn't really work (why don't I ever see you there). So, we could replace it. We can't make it more than two lines long (something that I have stretched a bit) so that making a new box or adding something underneath is out of the question. Most wikis merge wiki news and subject news together though. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ 19:02, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

| − | Hi, I was just thinking about how we could make the homepage better...and one way would be to have the "Featured article", "News", "Featured Video" sections etc to be done in a Simpsons font, like the "Wikia" logo in the top-left-hand corner of the screen. What do you think? I think it would look great! [[User:Effluvium|Effluvium]] 21:02, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

| − | =='''Introducing Wikia's new look:'''==
| |
| − | Greetings! As many of you have already seen, Wikia is undergoing some major changes to their site layout. As of Wednesday, October 6th, the change will affect both the appearance and how things are done on several wikis, and come October 20th these changes will effect all Wikia sites. These changes are mandatory as this is not simply a new skin option, it’s actually an upgraded version of the core Mediawiki platform itself. Check out "[http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Susan_Taylor/Experience_the_new_Wikia Experience the new Wikia]" for a look at some wikis using the new look, [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/The_new_look FAQ] and the [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Transition_guide Transition guide].
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==='''Transitioning to the New Look'''===
| |
| − | We know you’ve put a lot of work into making your wikis look great in Monaco, so we’ve worked on our end to minimize the amount of effort needed for you to move to the new look. Still, there are some things you’ll want to do in order for your wiki to look its best in the new skin. We strongly encourage you to use our [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Transition_guide Wiki Transition Guide] to make this process as smooth and seamless as possible.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Our new [[Special:ThemeDesigner|theme designer]] tool will be available to everyone during the first stage of sitewide roll-out on October 6th. This gives you time to experiment with different themes and chat with your community about what looks best before all visitors see your wiki in the new look.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We know that many of you are Wikia experts, and have a ton of experience to share with newer users, who may need more help with the transition. To tap all your knowledge, we will soon be setting up a page where users can request and provide help on the transition.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==='''Timeline'''===
| |
| − | The next step is to slowly but surely move all wikis over to the new skin. While there may be some tweaks, the projected schedule is below so that you know what to expect over the coming weeks.

| |
| − | | style="vertical-align: top; background-color: transparent;"|
| |
| − | *The new look will continue to be default for logged-out users on the beta wikis
| |
| − | *All logged in users will be able to “switch on” the new look for themselves on any wiki they visit.
| |
| − | *All new wikis created will automatically use the new look.
| |
| − | *Every wiki in the Wikia Lifestyle Hub will showcase the new look.

| |
| − | ==='''Discontinued features'''===
| |
| − | *The widget dashboard and all widgets are to be discontinued as they were deemed to be underused.
| |
| − | *"Report a Problem" links will also be discontinued with the new skin as they were not used as intended.
| |
| − | *"Email a user" link is gone.
| |
| − | *Page ratings are gone.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==='''New features'''===
| |
| − | *New, customizable toolbar that is anchored at the bottom of the screen (Watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVRg8oNaX7I the demo video] to see how it works.) You will need to learn to use this. (requires JavaScript)
| |
| − | *New tool for customizing the colour scheme/theme, including default themes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==='''Other changes'''===
| |
| − | *The new look uses a fixed width layout, we are not permitted to change, which might influence the layout of articles quite a bit.
| |
| − | *Wiki logo is replaced with "Wordmark", which admins can customize by adjusting the text & color, or by uploading an image in the theme designer.
| |
| − | *Site notice is no longer on every page. It is now located in the Community Corner and users will receive a notification bubble each time it is updated.
| |
| − | *The wiki navigation that is now on the left sidebar, is moving to the top of the screen. It will have 4 drop down menus, with 7 links each. This is substantially less than we currently have. (requires JavaScript)
| |
| − | *"My Home" becomes "Wiki Activity" and contains a link to recent changes
| |
| − | *There is a new sidebar area on the right that takes about 1/3 of each page's width, where the recent activity and other "modules" will sit. More "modules" are being developed for it, but there are currently no plans for user-developed modules.
| |
| − | *Moved the most recent editor’s name from the bottom of the page to the top, added an avatar, and a new mini-history dropdown menu, which contains the link to the full history. (Supposed to make it more obvious to new users that anyone can edit a wiki.) (requires JavaScript)
| |
| − | *Two of the categories are listed at top as well the full list at the bottom. Apparently the two chosen will be the categories containing the most pages. There is a blacklist to keep out typical maintenance categories, but it is not wiki specific (atm).
| |
| − | *Edit and talk buttons will be used instead of written links.
| |
| − | *The name of the user who uploaded a picture will be listed underneath the image caption on articles.
| |
| − | *The "Terms of Use" are changed so that we will only have very limited options on what we may change on the new layout that is visible to all users.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==='''Terms of Use'''===
| |
| − | In keeping with the goals of the new look, our [[w:c:wikia:Terms_Of_Use|Terms of Use]] have been updated as well. Admins will no longer be able to completely remove core features for all users by using custom CSS or JavaScript. This is to protect the universal layout and functionality of every wiki on Wikia and ensure that users have access to all of the features available in the new design. Remember, these [[Help:Customization_policy |new terms]] only apply to the CSS of the wiki as a whole -- they don’t apply to your personal pages.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To give a few practical examples of what this means: It’s not permitted to remove the right sidebar modules, blogs, and image attribution or add a banner that shifts the entire content area down the page, or alter the fixed width. You can still personalize your wiki with different colors and themes, add large, standout images to the wiki background, create styled templates and tables within the content area. There are plenty of ways to be creative! While these terms will limit what you can do to the overall layout, creativity is still an essential part of Wikia.
