 * All you have to do is add a picture of the page your linking it too (optional but makes it look more interesting) then give a link on the bottom. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 15:19, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe he's talking about the dynamic part (when you click it changes). That is done through some custom Javascript. You will need the code from c:backyardmonsters:MediaWiki:Common.js and put it in your own Common.js. Then you need to alter your profile. I haven't looked into it myself yet, so I can't help you with that. I know you need code from both c:backyardmonsters:Backyard_Monsters_Wiki and c:backyardmonsters:Template:Portal/Component/Slider though. - Tjcool007 (Talk) 15:26, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah its hard to figure it all out haha —This unsigned comment is by Vanit2010 (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with !
 * You will also need to define the custom ids and classes used by that template code with CSS in MediaWiki:Common.css. TK  999  15:35, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Both the wikis above also load the JQuery UI script library JS from w:c:dragonage:MediaWiki:Jquery-ui.min.js as part of the Portal slider JS. It's rather complicated unless you are comfortable copying templates and their dependencies and editing them to do what you want. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 21 Jul 2011 8:37 AM Pacific
