Forum:Hiding "create new article" in sidebar

I see that central wiki hides "create article" from the sidebar. I need to do the same because we have a main sidebar item of the same name that directs users to a semantic mediawiki form for new article creation.

The default create article item is not a sidebar toolbox item, and nothing is mentioned in Help:Sidebar. It also doesn't appear in Central's common.css (I tried
 * .wikiaSkinMonaco #dynamic-links-write-article-row ...

but that didn't work)  19:33, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

How central does it is that page creation is disabled. -- Zapwire (aporkcalypse now) 19:48, November 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * Add  to the wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css. Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 19:50, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Mark. That did the trick but for whatever reason it wouldn't recognize on our wiki until I put it in Monaco.css.   00:20, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Mmm. Oh wait; since that links only shows up at Monaco, you should use Monaco.css, not Common.css, my bad ;). Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 15:43, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

It needs to go in common.css, because Monaco.css is only loaded for those people using the custom skin, not ALL monaco themes. --Uberfuzzy 16:12, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Mark's trick works but i want to disable only for unregistered users. How can i do that? Adiraixpress 07:49, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * With CSS, it is impossible to disable only for unregistered users. It might be possible with javascript, but you'd have to ask someone else to help you with that. If you want to disable it for all editors, logged in or logged out, then put  into Common.css. However, I don't recommend doing this - what's wrong with unregistered users being able to create articles? Wikis are supposed to be freely editable after all, and page creation is a very important part of that. :)  The 888th Avatar   (talk)  10:27, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
