Help:Preferences



What are preferences?
Wikia lets logged in users set some personal preferences. See Wikimedia's Meta-Wiki for details. See also Help:Signature.



What is the user profile tab for?
From the user profile tab, you can see your registered username, your ID and you can change various things, including your customized signature, your e-mail address, language, password and e-mail notification settings.



What is the skin tab for?
You can change the skin from the skin tab. There are lots of different options available, from the classical Monobook skin to the new Slate and Smoke skins.



What is the files tab for?
From the files tab, you can set image page related settings, like how big images you want to see on image description pages and how big or small thumbnails you want to see.



What is the date and time tab for?
You can set time zone and date format, too. The server time usually differs from your local time, so you can set your local time. By pressing the "Fill in from browser" button, you'll get automatically a value at the offset box. If the server time was 18.00 and your local time was 21.00, the offset would be +3.00 hours. When you save your changes, the time will be automatically changed around the wiki.

What is the recent changes tab for?


What is the watchlist tab for?
