Hey guys so i want to know how to add the title area like this wiki : http://dementhium.wikia.com/wiki/Dementhium_Wiki where it has a logo then a comment then statistics. How do i do this?


Any help?

Just look at the pages source (click the edit button) and you see this code at the top of the page above the main sections:
<p style="text-align: center;">[[File:Logo-500.png]]</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%">The wiki devoted to '''''[http://www.dementhium.com Dementhium]''''' that '''anyone can edit'''.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%">{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} Articles since 20th of August, 2011</span></p>
Copy the above code (wiki markup/html) to your wikis main page and Update it to suit your wiki:-
  1. Replace [[File:Logo-500.png]] with a file for your wikis logo (preferably created at the right size or you need to set the size to say 500px)
  2. Change the external link [http://www.dementhium.com Dementhium] to point to the web site associated with your wikis subject (i.e game or show) instead & display its name. (or just put plan text with the wikis subject area if not conected with one particular 'site' based subject
  3. change the articles since date to suite your wiki's start date. (the number of pages updates regularly itself using the 'magicword' {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} to get the info from the database.
  4. Save it (after checking it looks OK using preview - if not try updating it again)


Note: the standard default main page for a new Wiki used to contain something similar by default just without the big logo - The rest of the pages layout is set by other code on the page to create columns and blocks of text & often wikis call templates that are on sub pages with the content of each section/block stored there (this is to allow updating without changing the main page constantly). As you have not linked your wiki we can only reply in general terms.
