Request for help Edit

Hi White Flash. Good work taking care of those short pages so quickly. For a new logo, how about this?

Let me know if you want me to change anything.

For a main page layout, if you've seen a layout you like of another wiki, link me to it, and I'll set up a similar layout here. JoePlay (talk) 23:15, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

That image you linked for making a background is too small, and unfortunately I couldn't find a larger version. So I found a different image and used it to make a possible new background, if you don't mind changing the content page from transparent to not transparent. Take a look at this preview. If you want to use it, download the image here. If you don't want to use it, let me know if you find a different large image (1000x700 or larger) that you want to use.

For the main page, which sections seen on Dead Space Wiki's main page do you want to have? If you want a slider, I'll need 4 images and 4 pages to link to (or less if want the slider to have 2 or 3 slides). JoePlay (talk) 17:30, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

If you're talking about changing the color of the glow around the edge of the page and the color of the buttons, navigation menu, etc., then take a look at this screenshot. I used Chrome's built-in debugger to change the color to #1b5d42, which I got from the official site. If you want to use that, all you have to do is set the color for "buttons" on the theme designer to #1b5d42. Then on MediaWiki:Wikia.css replace the code you added with this:

.WikiaPage {
   border: 1px solid #1b5d42; 
   -moz-box-shadow:0 0 10px #1b5d42;
   -webkit-box-shadow:0 0 10px #1b5d42;
   box-shadow:0 0 10px #1b5d42;
}
.oasis-split-skin .WikiaPage {
   border-top: 1px solid #1B5D42;
}

For those 4 images to be used for the slider, are you saying that you want their color to be changed to more of a gray than blue/green? If so, I can do that with Photoshop. I just wanted to be sure that's what you wanted. JoePlay (talk) 19:47, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

I added the slider to the main page. Instead of making the images completely black & white, I left a little bit of color in them so they don't look totally out of place. When you edit the main page, you'll see this within the slider code:

Slider1.jpg|Primary caption|link=|linktext=Secondary caption

Just fill in that info whenever you're ready. For any other sections, let me know what things you want to showcase, such as featured article, featured video, etc. JoePlay (talk) 22:50, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

I'm off work tomorrow (Friday) - and the weekend, as always - so I did some late night work just now. I added the featured article and video sections, as well as the techy-looking background from Dead Space Wiki, but with a slight color change to better fit this wiki's color. If there's anything else you need help with on the main page, let me know, and I'll do it when I return to work on Monday. Enjoy your weekend. :) JoePlay (talk) 08:18, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

TemplatesEdit

Hi, I was wondering if you want me to make some Nav Boxes or Character Template for the Wiki, like I do on many other Wikis like TAWOG Wiki and the BTB Wiki.--- -- Armadillos lurk in your toaster
