As an administrator of this wiki, I would like to request design help for the main page for the Baldur's Gate wiki. We need design help for three things: The wiki meets all of the seven requirements.
 * We need a main page especially designed for mobile phones, because the current main page is not suited for this task.
 * Also, the main page has some small problems when displayed in the MonoBook layout, such as the poll module being too wide and an undesired picture as the logo.
 * In the current state state, the main page is functional, but it's looks are decent and the modules could be replaced by more advanced ones.

Blue Bomber Graphic Wiki Wallpaper
Hello! I need your help on my wiki, the Blue Bomber Graphic Wiki, if you don't mind. Specifically, I need help with the wallpaper; I have an that I want to add on the wallpaper, but I don't know anything for the background. Maybe something like a beam of light-blue is in the middle while the top and bottom of the wallpaper is regular blue. As for the Mega Man picture, maybe somewhere like the right? If you don't mind, could you please help me in starting this wiki that I am updating as we speak?

Although, I don't know if staff can actually change the background of any wiki, so if you do make a wallpaper, just change it right away with the colors that match it best. Thanks! BlueSpeeder (talk) 22:25, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Liv and Maddie Wiki
Hi wikia! I would like to request for you guys to make a background for the Liv and Maddie Wiki! I just would like to see a background you guys can make and see if we like it for us to use! :) You can use images from these places (just suggestions and preferred places):
 * Liv Rooney/Gallery (promotional pictures)
 * Maddie Rooney/Gallery (promotional pictures)
 * Liv and Maddie (relationship)/Gallery (promotional pictures)
 * http://disneychannel.disney.com/liv-and-maddie
 * And this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDlWj53WI90

I also wanted to know if you could make header pictures for the wiki main page. In this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDlWj53WI90, when they show descriptions of Liv and Maddie they show their names in a special way. Example:

I would love it if you could make header pictures for our main page that resemble these. I'm not sure how well these would look on our wiki so I'm only asking if you try and make headers for the titles "Featured," "What's New?," and "Did You Know?" If it's too much, you can just do one of those. I would really love if you could try this for us. Thank you so much! :D

Wordmark request
This is a real easy request. There are two wikis that were founded by the same person. Both wikis are about the same subject and the URL is almost identical:


 * http://antagonist.wikia.com/wiki/Villains_Wiki
 * http://antagonists.wikia.com/wiki/Villains_Wiki

The first one copied the design and wordmark of the actual Villains Wiki. The second is a duplicate wiki. The founder's account is now closed so I can't ask him to change it, and I don't have any interest in adopting either one right now. Could someone go in and change the wordmarks on both wikis so that they say "Antagonists Wiki"? It might cut back on some of the "that's not a villain" edit wars that happen there.
