I haven't noticed a problem with most of the listed issues, though the image one definatly is an issue, both in this wiki and every other wiki I've visited in recent times. I don't fully understand the template/coding change, but it's the change that irks me the most.--[[User:Hawki|Hawki]] 22:02, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

This is if you use Wikia's new beta skin and leave "Let the admins override my skin choice" unchecked on the [[Special:Preferences#prefsection-1|preferences page about skins]], correct? This wiki looks so messed up if I try the new skin, I have to leave the "Let the admins override my skin choice" box checked for anything to look the way it is supposed to. Wikia has done some mockups of how they would get various wikis to look on [[w:User_blog:Sannse/Sneak_Peek_at_the_New_Look_-_Themes|one of their staff blogs]]. The new skin is supposed to be customizable but I don't really know anything about how you would do that. We already have the current Monaco skin very well customized, and hopefully the new skin won't be that hard to customize to maintain the basic color scheme and functionality, and hopefully won't have any bugs when it is out of beta and implemented all over Wikia. Apparently the only Wikia wiki that won't use the new skin is Uncyclopedia, which still uses Monobook as its skin and will get to keep Monobook. But Monaco is going to be discarded in favor of the new skin, everywhere else. --[[User:The Overmind|The Overmind]] 23:22, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Revision as of 23:22, 15 September 2010

Forums: Index > Watercooler > New look 2010



This forum page should list all the recent changes Wikia has imposed on wikis. Unlike other forum pages, I don't think it's necessary for everyone to sign their points. When we have several responses, I will send them to Wikia. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 21:32, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

  • Templates moved to the left side of the page, causing havoc as pages were usually designed with templates on the right side. (A big deal with images, which may need to be moved from one side to the other.)
  • The wiki was designed to have light text on a dark skin; now it's the opposite (again).
  • Edit talk pages is hard to find. (Can anyone find it? I can't seem to. I know it's possible to add a new section easily, but responding is getting difficult.)
  • Currently under the feedback form, holding a mouse over certain links causes a huge white window to "fall down" and fill up much of the screen.
  • Convenient buttons (such as create new page and recent changes) missing from left panel.
