Forum:Second homepage??

Hi! There is a way to create a..second homepage? I mean...I have a wiki of a tv show, and this tv show has a spin-off. I wanted to ask you if i could create a second page that''' has no toolbar on his right. '''The main page will remain the same...but from it I would like to put a link at this second "home"page!

Thank you!--Cento93 14:32, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

From what I know (I am no expert), you can make the spin-off go to you original wiki and make that a sub-wiki (my terms) of your wiki. Like the add-ons to games. These add-ons are part of the original wiki, just a new category, with new articles. 14:44, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Mhh...i don't like this idea! Well, if there is no method to do it, i will create a "smaller" second mainpage!Cento93 14:49, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

I am sure there is a method, its just that the coders have not answered you yet (the ones that know how to do it). I would wait a few hours, they will be much better than I at explaining. 14:53, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, what is the TV show? 14:54, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

It's an italian wiki aboutAlarm fur Cobra 11!Cento93 14:54, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

There is a lot of action pictures for that show! It looks like there is a video game as well. Is there a wiki for the game? Looks like a great subject for a wiki... Maybe make a new wiki for the spin-off title as well? Just for now, you can always redirect... 14:58, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

The spin off has been cancelled after two season...i wrote something on this small series but it would be nonsense open a wiki for a death show! On my wiki there are a lot of screenshot for those games..look at the game page http://it.squadraspecialecobra11.wikia.com/wiki/Giochi --Cento93 15:08, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

You should tie in your wiki with the spin-off and the game. wait a few hours and a coder (professional) will come along and help you, otherwise I will solicite one to help you in 24 hours. 15:18, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't unterstand...an expert will come for the second mainpage or for what?? Sorry....i write quite well but understand it's a problem!!Cento93 15:23, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * What about this? Move your old main page to a Template:A and create a new main page for the spin-off in Template:B. Then add a Tab view area on your main page and include Template:A in the first tab and Template:B in a second tab. This way the users can choose between two different main pages by clicking the tab headers. -- Weas-El ✉  15:28, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * But either templates a and b, put in a page, will have the right-sidebar! —This unsigned comment is by Cento93 (talk • contribs) 15:37, July 13, 2011. Please sign your posts with !


 * No, the template pages will have a sidebar, but the main page will not. I just tested that on an orphaned wiki. -- Weas-El ✉  12:24, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * If I were you, I would most likely request via Special:Contact enabling the Portal namespace (pages in this namespace don't have the sidebar modules) and create two portals; for the show and for the spin-off. — Sovq 15:38, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to create a normal page and put it tables and link as a mainpage has...the result is not too bad...so probably I will keep this solution!


 * To remove the rail on the side, use this code:




 * Just place that code at the top of the page, you don't have to wrap the text in the tags.

Thank you very much!!


 * Be warned, removing the rail is probably a violation of the Wikia Terms of Use and could get reverted by Wikia staff. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 Jul 2011 9:12 PM Pacific


 * Anyway, it' doesn't work! --Cento93 07:07, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I got that code off of another wiki that uses it for their portals. There must also be some kind of CSS or JS that also is needed.  DaRanger  ( Chat With Me ) 11:48, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

You can disable the rail on a page by adding this to your Wikia.css:

.page-PAGENAME .WikiaRail .module { display: none; } Like others said though, it's not really allowed, so you might hear from the staff if you use it. -- 23:22, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * The Fallout Wiki has Portals that do not have RAILs. I believe that the Portal pages are a Custom namespace. The person to ask would be Ausir. --Sxerks 01:04, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
