Forum:How to erase Main Page title and more

I recently made a new wiki. On the main page, there is a title. (Ex: The Twilight Wiki) How do I get rid of it? (I know it's possible.) Also, how do I add a specific logo for tabs under the search bar instead of using the standard "W" logo?-- 00:31, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sig error - might want to fix that. Anyway - firstly, I'm not sure what title you mean, if you mean the main page header (which reads the name of the wiki) - you can change it by moving the page (to "Main Page") if you want, but it's there to try and increace the number of hits you get from google, so I'd advise against it. Secondly, see Help:Favicon for replacing the logo. -- Random Time  00:36, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

But if I moved it to "Main Page", then there would still be a header: Main Page. Am I correct? -- Joel amos
 * Wikipedia does it, I think this code is what they use to remove the title, you may have to fiddle:

If I am correct than, this method would not reduce Google hits?--Joel amos


 * You can remove the main page heading with javascript, but it will show up briefly before it gets removed. You should be able to remove it with CSS, but I haven't ifgured out how to do that. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 6:11 PM PST 15 Jul 2010

To remove the main page heading add this to your MediaWiki:Monaco.css: body.mainpage .firstHeading { display: none; } This code is standard in the new stock wikia skins.--Sxerks 01:21, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Does that code not work in other skins? -- Random Time  01:26, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is part of "Carbon" and "Obsession", but not the other stock themes, you would need to add it and have the skin set to custom.--Sxerks 01:38, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was just wondering why it wouldn't go in common.css -- Random Time  02:26, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't know, that's where Wikia put it, it might work in common, haven't tried it.--Sxerks 03:06, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * That CSS appears to work in MediaWiki:Common.css, but not in MediaWiki:Monaco.css unless the "Custom" option is set for the skin. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 10:15 PM PST 15 Jul 2010

http://quizzing.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css I added the code to MediaWiki:Common.css, but it didn't take away the header...Can someone else please try? Also, how do you go about changing the gray text in the search bar? (Ex:Search Wikia)--Joel amos


 * The code worked you just need to do a refresh Ctrl-F5. For the search box change this file: "MediaWiki:Tooltip-search"--Sxerks 16:10, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm on a mac. I don't know how I'd go about doing the Ctrl-F5 thing. Can someone please change the search text to "Search the ACC B.Q. Wiki" for me, at
 * http://quizzing.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Tooltip-searc ? Thanks--Joel amos


 * On a Mac you can usually use Cmd-R or hold the shift button down and press the Reload button at the top of the browser window.
 * You have the page wrong, it should be w:c:quizzing:MediaWiki:Tooltip-search and you look to be an admin on that wiki, so you can change it. Only admins of a wiki or Wikia staff can edit MediaWiki pages, usually. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:55 AM PST 16 Jul 2010
