Currently, the Attacktix Wiki is defaulting to the "Slate" skin style. It seems (to me at least) that this style makes pages load slower and also is not consistent with practically every other wiki on the internet.
I petition that whoever has the capabilities to change the default skin (currently only Joe), change it to "MyBook" which is almost exactly like the official Wikipedia skin.

I'd be quite happy with this - the Slate skin seems rather slow for me, too.

Yes, grievous and I had been discussing this, it is terribly slow, and MonoBook (under preferences--> skin) is a more traditional wiki look anyway, and is somewhat swifter.

No idea how to change it for EVERYONE I changed it in MY preferences, so since I was looking at the correct version I assumed everyone was. I will see what needs to be done for the DEFAULT to be adjusted. And I think it is MonoBook that is the current default skin (that is what mine is set to) |

Ok, Gray Slate is the automatic skin for new wikias. You can all change it to MonoBook (the current wikia, NOT myBook) in your MY PREFERENCES. However, I have added a tech request to change it for all.. but that could take some time. No sysop has access to it, only Wikia staff  |

Really? It's monoBook? I thought it was MyBook, must have misread it...
Good thing you requested the change. Seems silly that only Wikia staff can change it, though. It'll be very helpful once it is changed, though.

If you want MonoBook then you better set your preferences: ==Monobook== + You're doing a great job with this wiki so far! I'm excited to see it growing so fast. + + As far as changing the default view to Monobook for everyone, I'm afraid it's not possible right now. You've caught us in the middle of a transition -- the Slate skin, or its lighter sister Smoke, are soon going to be the default skin for all Wikia wikis, and we feel they will provide many great new features like the drag-and-drop ability on the boxes in the right-hand toolbar. I will be happy to switch your default to Smoke if you like that better -- see [[Wikia:Newskin]] for screenshots, or try it in your preferences. (Of course logged-in users will always be able to choose Monobook for their own display.) + + We are still updating the Slate/Smoke skin in response to user feedback, so if there's anything in particular that you would like to see improved, please leave a comment at inside.wikia.com/forum/ . When we are finished upgrading the skin, admins will be able to do more to customize its colors and look; we just can't make the tools available until the design is more stable. I'm sorry for the temporary inconvenience! + + If there are any customizations you'd like to make to the ''content'' area, which is not affected by the new skin, you can place them in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] -- changes made here will be displayed for users of all skins. + + I hope that helps!<br /> + — [[Wikia:User:CatherineMunro|Catherine]] o' the [[Wikia:Community Team|ComTeam]] 20:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC) |
