Forum:How do I change the background color of a namespace article

I want pages in the namespace of the name of my wiki with the back area (where is the article) stay with another color. I use the monobook skin. 01:17, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * This ordinarily requires the use of css in your Monaco.css. The css selectors used for this in Monaco differ from that in Monobook, so you would need two separate selectors, one for each skin. Add  to Monaco.css, and   to Monobook.css. I do recommend though that you don't use the Monobook skin if you want to customise a wiki's design, as no-one will see it except for the select few who use it, which doesn't help in drawing readers and editors (which is 90% of the point of having a custom skin). Basically, if you prefer custom looks for your wiki, switch to Monaco. ;)  The 888th Avatar   (talk)  08:29, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. And what is the command to the other pages like help and MediaWiki? Amd if people in your preferences will mark the option See custom wikis (Recommended) they will not see monobook in my wiki and monaco in other wikis? 18:39, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * A list of the namespace codes is on this Help:Namespace page.


 * (Note to wiki 'experts') - there appears to be a slight display problem with this page at the top - As you (experts) know help pages can in some cases be actually 2 pages with a custom help page and the std wiki help page transcluded in. Is this a skin issue / bug ? - BulldozerD11 19:38, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Mateus: when people check the option to "let the admins override my skin choice", it means the choice the admins have made on "Admin skin options" in the preferences. Notice that in the admin skin options, there isn't a choice for Monobook. In other words, there is no possible way to make anonymous users and most users see Monobook by default.
 * Dozer: All help pages on individual wikis that have an equivalent (page of same name) on Help will have the individual wiki's content and advice, as well as the stuff from help. There's no way around it. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  23:34, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * But I prefer the monobook because I (and many others users) got used with Wikipedia skin. And Monaco, no conditions read, the sidebar takes up nearly half of the page. 23:56, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * @Avatar thats what i was saying - I know that its two pages I was obviously not specific enough about the fault (I mentioned it as anybody not familiar with the help would think the 2 bits was odd) - What i was saying is there appears to be an issue with the page HEADER / MENU BAR/TABS at the very top, as the coloured bar was very slim and the edit, history, move and Unwatch virtualy missing (just part of icons visible) which was why i was pointing it to skin experts to have a look. - BulldozerD11 00:44, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
