i can't upload my favicon for my wiki heres what the origanal pic is:: 19:54, April 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * You'll want to upload it as a favicon, not an image. One amazing tool I highly recommend is the RealWorld Online Icon Maker. Simply upload your image in the "Create favicon from picture" box and you're done. 21:18, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

i'm uploading it as favicon and it says The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again. 21:47, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

How do you save it? 21:56, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

found it and thanks.Ü 22:13, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Do you know how to change the "Edit this page", "History", "Delete", "Move", "Protect", "Watch" buttons on the top of article pages like what happened on April Fool's Day? I have my own Wiki, and I would like to change it. Do you also know how to change your Wiki's logo? Thanks! 00:18, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * The pages for the buttons are mediawiki:edit, mediawiki:history, mediawiki:delete, mediawiki:move, mediawiki:protect, and mediawiki:watch. To change the logo, change the image File:Wiki.png

Ok, Thanks!! 01:03, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

could you make me a simple monaco.css for my wiki?? you only have to include spaces for the background color and page colors and sidebars for me, and i could place the colors in myself. i do not know how to make one, so could you help me?? thanks!! 21:37, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to give you a sketchy template-ish thing here, since you're experienced with coding and deserve to understand why it works, not whether it works.
 * So basically, a good-sized chuck of the content here on the Monaco skin -- that's the color of the search bar, user masthead, edit toolbar, header toolbars, etc. are all stuffed under the classes,  , and  . Thus you will want to set the   of all of these to the desired color. So our code is

.color1, .yui-panel, .hd { background-color: some-color; }
 * The dots indicate that we're selecting a class.
 * If  is dark, you'll also want to change the text color to...white, for instance:

.color1, .yui-panel, .hd { background-color: some-color; color: white; /* if some-color is dark */ }
 * But we're not done yet! Links will still appear blue, and you'll want these the same color as the text. So we'll also need to add links:

.color1, .color1 a, .yui-panel, .hd { background-color: some-color; color: white; /* if some-color is dark */ }
 * That's all fine and dandy, but what about the background of the page? This is controllable via the  class:

.color1, .color1 a, .yui-panel, .hd { background-color: some-color; color: white; /* if some-color is dark */ }

.color2 { background-color: some-light-color; }
 * For more information on Monaco skinning, see Customizing Monaco on Wikia Help. It's a very helpful manual. 22:07, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!!!! I hope I will understand this through practice. I'm already reading the manual, so maybe I can make it work. 22:11, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

But I can't find the "Custom" check box that lets me use my custom theme. it keeps showing the Jade theme instead of the custom one.

Oh. Thanks. 22:42, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

hello
WOW there is so much on monaco.css on your page! I want part of it!

Is it possible to not only have one background image to the right and another on the left?

2nd

How do you (in the common.css) tell the server to add the background image but only to a template (like our main space templates)?

Thank you,-- 00:03, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1. I'm afraid not. But if both of your images are repeating vertically, then you could use a single image that combines them. CSS3, however, might have a solution, but it's still in a draft.
 * 2. Please clarify. If you mean adding a background image to certain specified elements on a page, you could have a class (like "main-wiki-stuff", for example) and control the background image via .  03:24, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

OK and for the 2nd that is all you do to the common.css-- 04:29, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please, what I'm I doing wrong: -- 04:40, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Your image's URL returns a 404. The image is hosted on images.wikia.com, so you need to precede the URL with the proper host name and protocol. 23:59, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

OK also thumbs up for the template!-- 00:08, April 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * NP. Just copying Nitecrew's Sticker template :) 00:08, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

backgrounds
Um, why did you name the page --- bg not Background? also some like the BIO ones are BIONICLE background 3, yet we named stickers BIONICLE 3 Sticker so we need to move some pages to have the # before Background.

Oh last but not least: I asked you if there was a way in the css to put the image on both sides of the page, well there is but it would be hard: make a three row table and you can fill it with the BG pic-- 17:49, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I bow to the holy XML. It is the truth and only the truth. Ohm... 17:51, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Nice. I also noticed that some Background words are spelled in lowercase. Should I move them? 17:52, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, because the XML is the one and only truth. Ohm... 17:53, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * dude your freaking me out! um so what do you want with everything for the XML? how should pages be named?-- 17:57, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm joking. Basically, as I said, most stuff should follow what da XML says, not what we think it should be. 17:59, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

But isn't spelling the start of accuracy? 18:00, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * See Pet Ball Lightening Module and Ataku's Mark. LEGO made mistakes, and we're supposed to copy them, not correct them. It's weird, I know. 18:02, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

I knew you were joking (kinda funny) but instead of making new pages why not just move the old ones ie. your mars background should have been the stars background but moved-- 18:03, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Pardon? It's called Mars in the XML...do we rename Apple to Braeburn, simply because the latter is more specific? 18:06, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * no no nono no. I'm just saying we made pages like Stars Background but you made a new page Mars Sticker background 4, I'm saying you should of just moved stars background and named it Mars Sticker background 4 instead of making a new page-- 18:08, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, thank you. That's more specific. Unfortunately, I failed to notice the Stars Background...let's just blank the Stars and redirect it. 18:09, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oops. You already did. Thanks :) 18:10, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh I did not say this but I like the go by the XML Idea-- 18:14, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Monaco again
I just wanted you to see this anything I could improve on?

Also where do I add (on your archive) the image that you told me the code before(when I was editing I deleted it by mistake) where do I add that?-- 18:42, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Anywhere on Monaco.css. 18:44, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok and anything I can improve on?-- 18:47, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * An advanced critique:
 * Selected tab should be the same color as page background, or page bar on userpages.
 * Why does the search form have a huge padding level?
 * Dim the stripes as I showed you an archive or two ago. It makes the text much easier to read.
 * Main page link in sidebar goes to # (why?)
 * Try centering/transparent-izing the logo with a more elaborate image editor
 * Background just underneath the navigation bar has a choppy background
 * Backgrounds for navigation bar has two colors (is this intended?)
 * Brighten upper-right links so I can see them against the black background
 * Any questions? 18:54, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) OK I'll look at that
 * 2) just to look different from other wikis (it looks worse with no bg image)
 * 3) excuse me?
 * 4) that's weird, fixing!
 * 5) I know that's temporary I'm going to make a lot better one
 * 6) was going to fix that 2 but I asked you first
 * yes
 * 1) um I did not see that here how do I?


 * I hope I'm not taking up to much of your time, I just like other peoples opinions.

thanks,-- 19:04, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Let's see...
 * 2. It seriously looks very, very strange and unintuitive. No kidding here.
 * 3. The stripes used in #page_bar.
 * 8. Try .  19:08, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

OK I G2G but I would go like:

color:somecolor; extra:some extra;
 * 1) userdata a

?-- 19:11, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

color: white; } for instance. 19:12, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) userData a {

I need to talk you.
Hey FB100z i need to talk on the mlnw irc please.Here on you're talk it isn't secure enough-- 19:45, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Sysop Highlights
Hey FB100Z, I re-added the sysop highlights with mixed feelings. I must say, it does make the RC very green, but I don't think that it promotes inequality. What it does enable is users to see an active admin fast, however, I will remove the highlights (again :P) Ajraddatz Talk 21:46, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, there's Special:ListUsers/sysop and the main navigation bar. 01:11, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Color
Hi, Do you know what to use to make your userpage a different color than white? I cannot do it if you have to have an account for it to work because I'm not yet 13.
 * I personally don't recommend doing so, but you could use CSS as follows:

My user page etc.

Code for a box coming up when mouse on text
I want to know the code to do it. 22:02, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

CSS:

.foo > .bar { display: none; }

.foo:hover > .bar { display: auto; }

HTML example:

Hover over this to see this

Or, more dynamically:

JS:

$(function {    $(".foo").hover(function  { $(this).find("> .bar").show("slow"); // this makes a nice animated effect }, function { $(this).find("> .bar").hide("slow"); }); });

HTML example:

Hover over this to see this

22:06, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

do I insert both because it's not working. 22:04, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you pasting the whole enchilada into the document? The marked-up sections should go under the respective portions of the HTML document. 23:51, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Backgrounds #2
Because you made the MLN backgrounds (a good thing) we have thought a problem:

Pastel Background?!?!?!

we have 2x the needed background pages because we made all the stuff like pastel background but now have the XML ones!

So that needs to be fix (I'm doing it too but I want you help when you edit) and 2nd I think we should have a background nav, comments?-- 00:22, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * If there are no links to the redirect, you can tag them for deletion. Also, you can make the BackgroundNav. Use the Nav template for this one. 00:31, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll do that once everything is sorted out (with the edit tips home page)-- 22:16, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * BTW do you think that my 1,000+ page edits will effect me on becoming a admin one day? Because when I came here I thought this site was just to make a cool page with code and get busy with Terrific Trades. In the past like 5 month thought like 58% of my edit are main space so what do you think(I'm asking you this because you are wise not because you are a admin)?-- 23:54, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * It might be helpful, but as it has been said before, adminship is not just about editcount. Of course an active admin is generally a good thing. 00:05, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

And could I please get Rollback abilities? 00:07, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * @Mack11:I know, just asking.-- 00:17, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * @SSgt: I was going to ask you that you should as for it-- 00:17, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and I placed a request on the proper page, but then Ajr deleted it. 00:28, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rollback is not something that can be requested here; it is assigned by a bureaucrat that sees active counter-vandalism work. I think that you would do wonderfully with it, actually. Ajraddatz Talk 01:13, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I know I can't request it here. 01:19, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

just to get it good
How do I add something in the MediaWiki:common.css and then use it in articles? Can I have a Background images example please?-- 00:55, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Pardon? 00:56, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * <span class or something. like you put something in the common.css and then use it in articles like that-- 03:54, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you mean like how, for example, abunch of code was put in for the rollover thing, and now that code can be used using a <span style code?
