'''We've created two new skins to make things clean, simple and easy to use. We hope you like them! Keep reading to learn about the changes. '''

New layout focuses on content

We felt it was important for content to be the focus of the page, so we moved it front and center.



 We have a new logo!

The current Wikia logo is leftover from our days as Wikicities. While the blue color brings a certain comfort, we are excited about the change which our new logo represents.



 Navigation is more organized

We've gone through and taken all the core tools and links everyone uses the most and put them together on the page in three toolboxes menus right next to the content. We've added graphical images and emphasized certain core actions to help new Wikians find their way around.



 New sections to highlight great content

We've heard you loud and clear that you want our assistance growing your communities, so we added a place to help new visitors find their way around your community and discover great content.

Most popular- Use this to feature the top 5 articles you want visitors to your community to see. You can manage the list for your wiki at MediaWiki:Most popular articles.

Most visited- These are the top 5 articles that received the most traffic in the last hour.

Community- This shows the top 5 most active users on the wiki.

The rest are self-explanatory.



 We've built in lots of controls


 * If you are a registered user, whatever skin you currently have as a default will stay the same (in most cases this will be Monobook). The new skin can be accessed by going to your preferences and selecting "Slate" or "Smoke".


 * Registered users will also get smaller ads in the top right, and soon will be able to customize and reposition the tool boxes.


 * If you are a new user, you can choose from any of the skins by creating an account and going to your preferences.
