Hi everyone, Last Friday we made Monaco the default on 1500 of the smallest wikis so that we could test it out in a variety of environments. We found a few issues that we've been working to fix before making it more generally available. I'm happy to announce that Monaco is now available in your skin preferences so that you can check out your wiki in this new skin. We consider this much more a successor to monobook and hope you like it.
In the next few days, unless we find any blocking issues, all wikis that currently have a Quartz default will be changed to a Monaco default. If you want to switch it back, you can via the skin chooser. For the wikis with fairly heavy customization (ffxi, marveldatabase, dcdatabase, wookieepedia, etc.), there should already be a custom version of Monaco. To check it out in advance just select "Monaco - custom" for your personal skin preference (you may need to un-check "see custom" so that the overall wiki setting isn't overriding your personal choice). Some wikis have already set Monaco as the default skin by themselves: http://muppet.wikia.com (admins, just go to skin preferences, scroll to the bottom to "Admin options" and you can set it there, too). There is a page here: http://inside.wikia.com/wiki/Monaco_Skin_Customization that talks in more depth about how to customize Monaco. There is a page here: http://inside.wikia.com/wiki/New_Skin_Chooser that talks about the skin chooser in more depth if you have questions about that. One nice thing about Monaco is that you can create your own personal sidebar and toolbox links (see the customization page for how to do that). Please take a look at your wiki with Monaco and let us know if you find any issues. Thanks John Q. _______________________________________________ Wikia-l mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/wikia-l
