Wikia is rolling out a new look (Try out the new look) and we need someone (or a team) to customize the look of this wiki again.
Aside from a different color scheme and layout, our cascading menus no longer cascade — we either need to reimplement that for the new scheme, or rethink our goals if we can't. There are certainly other things to look at.
It would also be nice to see which links on the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes] page have been visited. I hope they don't force visited link colors to be the same as non-visited links. Argadi 08:48, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
- Some comments to the blog post mentioned above have information about edits that others have made (and a lot ot hate for the new layout). Argadi 09:18, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
One side effect of the change appears to be that characters who have never been resurrected (such as Baron Klaus Wulfenbach) have he text "Resurrected {{{resurrected}}} " in their Template:Character box. At least I'm seeing that text when using the new skin but not when using the old skin. Argadi 21:49, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
- The problem is that "wikia" folks are still having some bugs to sort out among them "Class hiddenStructure" that is way wee see "Death, Resurrected {{{resurrected}}}, Relatives" on Klaus page. One good question is way it show {{{*}}} only on the Resurrected line and not on the odder when I added the variable maid sure that it vhas the same ass all the adder variables in the Template:Character.

Ouch[]
Oh, my aching head. ⚙Zarchne 23:33, October 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Ack, what just happened? Wikia's dropping the old monaco base stylesheet already? I assumed there'd be a longer grace period. Also, this looks different than it did when I temporarily tried out the new default style yesterday by changing my user options. Most noticeably, when I tried the new theme out yesterday it wasn't green. --Undomelin 00:51, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, turning it to Monobook seems to override the current Forest default, and make things look a bit more sane. --Undomelin 01:00, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Green was an improvement... now it looks even less sane. Not sure what Wikia is doing. I think the thing to do is focus on improving the Oasis-based skin... ⚙Zarchne 01:11, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Ah I see, old Monaco is still there, just not default. Sorry if my misunderstanding added to any confusion.--Undomelin 02:57, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
Admins[]
Who is active and needs to be made an admin? ⚙Zarchne 23:40, October 12, 2010 (UTC)
The reason I ask is that Special:ListUsers, which is how I've determined this in the past, isn't showing the most recent activity. I've promoted User:Zerogee and User:Finn MacCool to Admin -- they were overdue for it, but I can fast track people who want to work on the UI... ⚙Zarchne 00:29, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
