[edit] Main page update
Hi all, your friendly local Wikia Gaming helper here!
I've been working on a new main page layout. 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 User:Kirkburn/Dev 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. I have also considerably cleaned up the code.
You also need to consider the move to Monaco skin, and whether you want to customise the skin for this wiki. For examples of customisation, see Memory Alpha, Millitary Wikia, Rappelz or even (if you really want to see what can be done) UK Transport Wikia.
Or, you can choose one of the defaults. Please let me know what you prefer!

- I've made a few tweaks and put the new layout live. It's got all the info from the old version, plus features and hugely cleaned up code. I hope it is to your liking! Kirkburn (talk) 11:34, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Custom skin
Since this is the official wiki for Seal Online, we wanted to make the wiki's appearance more closely match the official site. So I just finished designing a new custom skin, which is now up and running. I hope everyone likes it. :-) JoePlay
