Increase the width of the visual editor
Do you know how I can increase the width of the textarea (of the visual editor) when you are editing the page? The visual editor only provides a very narrow textarea which makes me hard to edit.

I'm using those codes in my personal wikia.css. Thanks for those codes.

/* These three effectively hide the rail but keep the search box */ /* Hide the three widgets */ .WikiaActivityModule, .WikiaPagesOnWikiModule, .LatestPhotosModule, .WikiaSpotlightsModule, #WikiaSpotlightsModule {display:none !important; width:0 !important;} /* Increase the width of the actual page content so I'm looking at an article and not stupid, unused white-space */ .WikiaArticle {width:980px !important;} .WikiaPageHeader details {width:970px !important;} .WikiaArticleCategories {width:950px !important;} /* Hide "Image added by" on articles, because nobody cares */ div.picture-attribution {display:none !important;} /* Same as above but for preview, as to increase my protection from Wikia's branding fail */ .skin-oasis #wikiPreview {margin-right:10px !important;} /*No Facebook*/ .fb_edge_widget_with_comment { display:none !important; } body.mediawiki.skin-oasis { color: black !important; } .mw-headline { font-weight: bold; }

Hi again, to answer your question, (1) this option doesn't exist anymore. (2) I'm using widescreen monitor.

Thanks for your reply. I mainly use the visual editor to edit table. It's a bit hard to edit a large table in source mode. Oasis sucks! --My Brute Resource Center@Ronga 12:42, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Width of page
Hi. First of all, I want to thank you for posting the code to increase the width of the pages on Wikia in the new skin. It's significantly improved my experience of the site! But I'm also wondering if there's any way to remove the widgets on the blog pages in the same way. At the moment the text keeps going under the widgets, so blogs are quite hard to read. Failing that, could we increase the width of all of the pages except on blogs? Kind regards, Supermorff 21:05, November 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's great! You are just brilliant! (Not sure who Gaz is - someone else to thank?) I'd love to hear if you come up with any more tweaks! -- Supermorff 12:31, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
