Here's an example: [http://www.grandexchangecentral.com/], see how under the heading it has sideways scrolling text showing how items are valued (lame site for an example, but it was the first I found). [[User:Stavrok|Stavrok]] ([[User talk:Stavrok|talk]]) 05:25, July 23, 2012 (UTC) |

To contact staff directly or to report bugs, please use Special:Contact.
What I'm trying to do is make an automatically scrolling text near the top of the main page of my wiki ([1]). One line in height, it basically just loops whatever I've put into it. It will be used to give news updates and what not. Can anyone help me out with this?
Here's an example: [2], see how under the heading it has sideways scrolling text showing how items are valued (lame site for an example, but it was the first I found). Stavrok (talk) 05:25, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
Here's the basic code that does that on the page you linked:
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" scrollamount="3">Here's some news for you...</marquee>
Note: To make this work, you'll have to put it on a MediaWiki page and then use <verbatim></verbatim> tags. For example, you could edit your http://universaltriumvirate.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Mainpagenews page, copy/pasting that code I put above. Then, to make it appear on your home page, you'd type: <verbatim>Mainpagenews</verbatim>
