Forums: Index > Gamers Corner > Main page changes

Hi All,

I've been working on a new main page layout today. Hopefully you have read about the skin and ad changes at Wikia's New Style on Central Wikia. If not, I hope you'll have a look.

One of the changes is a block of two ads on each main page. It's possible that they won't always show up, but to ensure your main page continues to work properly when they do, you need to update your main page column formatting code with new column tags

I have drafted a main page using the new tags on Main Page/temp which I hope you can take a look at - feel free to edit it of course. The main change to the layout is the fixed width of the right column. This still allows a lot of customisation - for example see these main pages - w:c:muppet, w:c:wowwiki, w:c:ffxi.

If you encounter any problems with the new tags, please let me know.

Thanks all -- sannse (talk) 18:10, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for this sannse. I'll be sure to update the Main Page accordingly as soon as possible. Cheers! _supergeeky1 ^{The Cantina} 16:37, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

How's it going Supergeeky? I'd like to get the second ad turned on soon, and don't want it to break your main page... so can you copy over the draft, or shall I? Let me know :) -- sannse (talk) 20:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for the delay. I haven't been editing wikis a great deal for the past several days due to illness, so copying it over seemed to have slipped my mind. I'll do it right away. Thanks again for keeping us up to date. Cheers! _supergeeky1 ^{The Cantina} 20:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

The main page update has been instated. Again, much apologies for the delay. _supergeeky1 ^{The Cantina} 20:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Supergeeky, that's great :) I switched on the second ad, and made a couple of small tweaks to make it work. I hope you are feeling better! -- sannse (talk) 09:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
