Forum:How to change the main page

Hi, I was always wondering how to do this:



As you see the size reduced and there is image on both sides of the page. How can I do that on my wiki's?


 * Wikia staff say they are happy to help with skin modifications like this.
 * But, before considering reducing the with of the page like that, have you though that there's still many people who dont have screen larger than 1024 ?
 * In the visits stats of my websites, there's even a lot of people with 800x600 screens.
 * After thinking about this a few seconds (or minutes) if you still want to proceed, you can wait for help from staff or go to that wiki and ask help there. (It use the same login infos.) — TulipVorlax 20:29, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * In general, on Wikia, the number of people on small screens is very low - around the 2.5% mark. While I realise designing for 1024 and above can be a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, we generally feel that 800x600 just isn't enough space to work with. Mobile browsers on lower resolutions often reflow or build in zoom functions anyway, which leaves desktops on 800x600 a rare breed.
 * Of course, if you feel that your particular wiki's audience is more likely to have small screens, that changes things.
 * In any case, the code used on WoWWiki is currently found right at the end of http://www.wowwiki.com/MediaWiki:Monaco.css, under "Portal:Main stuff". See Help:Customizing Monaco for general help customizing.
 * Hope that helps! 14:58, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
