Admin Forum:How do you change what the cursor looks like on a wikia page

Hi i would like to know how to change the cursor on your wikia page. I would like to change it here: http://bdapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main%20Page?wiki-welcome=1 If you know plaease post here. thanks!camoclone 20:45, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Put  at the beginning of the page and put  at the end of the page. However, this will only work over text. I would use http://www.cursor.cc/ to make a cursor if you don't have one already. Then, upload the cursor somewhere and replace the http://example.com/something.cur with the URL. (I actually didn't think of this before, now I'll do it to my wiki!)


 * or  would be a better option.   is meant for a single paragraph section, not an entire page. Rappy 21:01, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Umm... how would you do that? I'm not very good with Javascript (I know , ,, and , and that's about it). Iggyvolz 21:31, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * You don't need Javascript for that. Hover over this box and see a different cursor. Rappy 21:36, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * So what is the code if i wanted to upload this image: http://www.cursor.cc/?action=icon&file_id=2413 or http://www.cursor.cc/?action=icon&file_id=2416 into this wiki: http://bdapedia.wikia.com/wiki/B-dapedia_Wiki or could you do it for me?camoclone 17:37, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Here's how you'd do that: Hope that helps --  Random Time  18:26, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Download the cursor from that webserver
 * 2) Upload it to your wiki using Special:Upload, include a link back to the page where you got the cursor from just to be safe with the licensing (it's listed as "no attribution", but I'd put a link anyway
 * 3) find the absolute URL of the uploaded cursor on Wikia, by right clicking the uploaded version and clicking "view image". Copy that URL.
 * 4) Copy the CSS ( cursor: url('/YOUR_PATH/cursor.cur'), auto; ) to MediaWiki:Wikia.css, and change "/YOUR_PATH/cursor.cur" to the URL of the cursor.

Yes but what is the URL of this: http://www.cursor.cc/?action=icon&file_id=2449 cursor? right click doesn't work. camoclone 13:45, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Never mind what i said earlier but my wikia: http://bdapedia.wikia.com/wiki doesn't allow .cur files camoclone 13:52, February 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Upload it to an external host and load the URL from there. 14:00, February 18, 2012 (UTC)
