Forum:How can i increase the width of my wikia

I was wondering how I can increase the width of my wikia so I can organize stuff better. I've seen it in other wikias. Oh also is there a place I can find the default css of all of the stuff in wikia so I can pick anything I want to change? --Dem0n Hunter 07:00, November 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * WoWwiki's increased width is an exception, much like uncyclopedia not getting Oasis forced on them is. With wowwiki though, it was a failed attempt to stop them from leaving.
 * And I don't know anything about CSS, but it's impossible to change the global CSS now. Only your personal CSS can still be edited (if I understood correctly).--El_Nazgir 07:20, November 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Go to your user page and input "/wikia.css" after your username in the address bar, without caps. Copy and paste this in it and save:



/* These three effectively hide the rail but keep the search box */ /* Hide the three widgets */ .WikiaActivityModule, .WikiaPagesOnWikiModule, .LatestPhotosModule, .WikiaSpotlightsModule, #WikiaSpotlightsModule {display:none !important; width:0 !important;}

/* Increase the width of the actual page content so I'm looking at an article and not stupid, unused white-space */ .WikiaArticle {width:980px !important;} .WikiaPageHeader details {width:970px !important;} .WikiaArticleCategories {width:950px !important;}

/* Hide "Image added by" on articles, because nobody cares */ div.picture-attribution {display:none !important;} /* Same as above but for preview, as to increase my protection from Wikia's branding fail */ .skin-oasis #wikiPreview {margin-right:10px !important;}

/*No Facebook*/ .fb_edge_widget_with_comment { display:none !important; }

body.mediawiki.skin-oasis { color: black !important; }

.mw-headline { font-weight: bold; }




 * Refresh (press F5). This will take away the sidebar, maximize the "fixed" width, hide image attribution, get rid of all the useless Facebook integration, bold headings in articles, and make the font black instead of grey. This won't do it globally, but it's sure as hell better than nothing. It seems you have to do it on all of your active wikis for it to show on all of them.  Alex Shepherd ツ 


 * so if I put those in MediaWiki:Wikia.css it won't do anything?

 * Yes, it would work the same, but Wikia Staff will fire you because the new Terms of Service disallow admins to remove parts of the new skin. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 09:34, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, I tried it and it did nothing to my wiki. I'm passed caring if they ban me, if they don't respond to any of my Special:Contact messages I'm sure they won't bother coming to look at how my wikia.css is formatted. But like I say, it doesn't work on there anyway. It does work on your personal one though. Ollie Martin  20:00, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * OH LOL, didn't know that. Good thing you told me b4 I did something stupid :P but I can still increase the width right? --Dem0n Hunter 09:51, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, that's forbidden as well. Only WoWWiki is allowed to have a wider version of the skin. -- Porter21 (talk) 11:17, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * By "Fire you" what do you mean? Literally ban you from editing your wiki without warning? Ollie Martin  12:14, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can get blocked on all of Wikia for perpetuity. -- Xd1358(Talk) 12:47, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

This is really cool, although on blogs the text now runs underneath the 'popular blog posts' widget. Is there a way to remove that too? -- Supermorff 18:32, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

The left rail remains. The page contents are expanded into the background at the right. Is there a fix? 07:01, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
