Forum:Creating a cool main page.

How can I create a cool main page like one Kung Fu Panda Wiki? My wiki is http://www.grangehill.wikia.com You can edit the main page. All I need is Featured Episode, Featured Pupil,Featured Teacher and wiki news exactly the same style of the Kung Fu Panda Wiki. My theme colors are purple and yellow. So basically I need it to look exactly like the main page of the Kung fu Panda Wiki but different colors - Purple and Yellow. Also how do you get stuff like this? -

 * One way of doing that is to take a copy of the page layout you want to replicate (in edit mode) and then past it into a new page at your wiki i.e User:Sykez/new front page to work on instead of experimenting with the main page & then change the links, text and colours etc to suit your wikis content a section at a time, Preview and then if OK save it then do the next sections update, so if something does not work you can undo it easily. If you try to do it all at once its a lot harder to find what is wrong & fix it. When it is done just copy it all onto your existing front page instead of the existing one.


 * If you have problems with parts of it just ask on here (with a link to the temporary version) for some help with the specific aspects of the page that are giving you a problem. - BulldozerD11 21:42, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Now on to my next Q: How and where do you make portal icons like the one in the thumbnail? Sykez 22:58, November 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's a separate template for that. On the kungfupanda wiki it's in here w:c:kungfupanda:Template:Portal. you can use it on your wiki if you copy the template code (the one in edit mode) to your wiki.Sovq 08:43, November 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * There is also the w:c:templates:Template:Portalportrait template if you want both actor and character name to show up. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 2:09 PM PST 29 Nov 2010
