Hullo! I am Kirkburn, your friendly local Wikia Gaming Helper!
You may have seen our recent announcement about the upcoming changes on Wikia - if not, please visit [w:Wikia's New Style|Wikia's New Style]] on Central Wikia. It's a little complex, so I recommend a thorough read.
To ensure your wiki continues to work properly, there are two main things that you need to do:
- Ensure you have a 135x155px logo at Image:Wiki.png. This will be your new logo. Wiki_wide.png will be going away.
- Update your main page column formatting code with [w:c:help:Help:Main page column tags|new column tags]]. This will ensure that your main page will not break when we add the new ad unit.
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 make a copy and edit it. Though the layout may seem restrictive at first, there really is a fair amount you can do with them - for example see these customized main pages - [w:c:muppet]], [w:c:wowwiki]], [w:c:ffxi]]. You may want to chat with your wiki community about what direction to take with a new main page.
If you encounter any problems with the new tags, please let us know.
My apologies for any inconvenience these changes bring.
Thank you for your time, [w:User:Kirkburn|Kirkburn]] ([w:User_talk:Kirkburn|talk]]) 01:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
