Follow the steps below to set up wiki-style forums on a community.
Initial setup
- Note: On some communities, the "Forum:" namespace is in an archived state, due to past usage of the Forum feature. An admin can contact Fandom Staff to have the archived state removed.
Setting up a new wiki-style forum involves copying a set of pages to your wiki. This page describes a basic set-up that adds two forums. Many aspects of this can be customized, but this set-up gives a good place to start.
- Copy the following pages to your community (all pages below are on the Demo Wiki):
- If your community has customized CSS, ensure that the following CSS is in the local
MediaWiki:Common.css
.
/* Forum formatting - Algorithm & Splarka */
.forumheader {
border: 1px solid var(--theme-page-accent-mix-color);
background-color: var(--theme-page-text-mix-color-95);
color: var(--theme-page-text-color);
margin-top: 1em;
padding: 6px;
}
.forumlist td.forum_edited a {
color: var(--theme-page-text-color);
text-decoration: none
}
.forumlist td.forum_title a {
padding-left: 20px;
}
.forumlist td.forum_title a.forum_new {
font-weight: bold;
background: url('https://images.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/4/4e/Forum_new.gif') center left no-repeat;
padding-left: 20px;
}
.forumlist td.forum_title a.forum_new:visited {
font-weight: normal;
background: none;
padding-left: 20px;
}
.forumlist th.forum_title {
padding-left: 20px;
}
- Save File:Forum new.gif to your hard drive, and then upload to your local community with the same name.
- Add a link to Forum:Index to the wiki navigation.
Testing the setup
To test the forums, you can add welcome messages for each section, similar to those at Welcome to the help desk and Welcome to the watercooler.
