Forum:Css

i already know how to use styles on a wiki, but i need half hour to find out what goes where. i use a firefox bar (called "web developer") but still its very hard :( my question is does anyone know any useful program, site or whatever about editting mediawiki's styles (not just css styles but wiki-styles)? wikipedia and the rest don't have much information, cause users are not going to change wikipedia's skin ever :P

I think wikia have to make at least a demo help-page-article about this. You dont have to put everything on it, just some info about the way to change the colors of a wiki only. hmmmmm ... ... ... ok it is still a big file to edit (almost everything has colors). Maybe we need a wiki just for this lol, nevermind.

and something else: can i delete a page's history? Erdimus 07:06, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * System administrators can delete a page and its history. I'm not sure if there's any css help page. – Smiddle 13:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The best method of finding out how to style a wiki, is to look over the other wiki with unique styling. There's a list at Wikia custom skins, and since none of them are up yet, I've made color schemes for Animepedia, Narutopedia, InuYasha Wiki, and Kirby Wiki. Also, on the MMKB if you add the code below to your monobook you'll see the skin being looked over before being added:

@import "/index.php?title=User:Dantman/StyleTesting.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&templates=expand";
 * Also remember that deletion is only used for special vandalism, pages which need to be removed, etc... Deletion of a page history because there are to many revisions, etc... is against the GFDL because the page history is what keeps track of contributions. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 8, 2007 @ 16:20 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info.

Hi, can anyone tell me where on a wiki I might be able to access the CSS? -- MichaelMogg 06:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * MediaWiki:Monobook.css
 * MediaWiki:Quartz.css
 * MediaWiki:Common.css
 * Thoses need admin rights (sysop) to edit. And dont forget to use CTRL+F5 to see changes. — TulipVorlax 04:35, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh so there is one universal CSS for the entire Wikia, as opposed to copying the same CSS and placing it in each Wiki. Shucks.-- MichaelMogg 22:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No, each individual wiki has MediaWiki:Monobook.css, MediaWiki:Quartz.css, MediaWiki:Common.css, etc. For instance, to change it on the SuperFriends wiki, go to its Quartz.css or whatever, and edit it. Pinky Talk 02:39, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
