German Wiki
Hi. I need a little bit help with the design for the german version I am working on. This is what I've got so far. Can you tell me how to change the bars, the background image, and the colors of the font (and if I've forgotten something that too :D) --Shego123 16:42, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * I am assuming you are talking about the skin for the wiki. If your plan was to create your own skin, then you might need to know a bit of CSS, or dive in and learn it as you go along like I did. (If you use Firefox, download the Firebug Add-on and use the Inspect Element option. This will help get a fine level of control over your skin.)Otherwise if you just want a carbon copy of our skin, then you can copy it directly from our MediaWiki:Monaco.css to yours. You will also want to check out MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar and MediaWiki:Sidebar to change your Menu on the left side underneath the search. Also, changing MediaWiki:Edittools will allow you to setup your shortcuts underneath the edit box.


 * Some helpful pages if you're planning on using your own color scheme or just want to know more about the skinning process:
 * http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Customizing_skins
 * http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Monaco_skin_features
 * http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Customizing_Monaco


 * If you are planning to create your own custom skin, you may want to consider using your own personal monaco page at User:Shego123/monaco.css (not capitalizing the "M" is important) to change your skin, then move it to MediaWiki:Monaco.css when it is finished. (Make sure you've unticked the "Let the admins override my skin choice." option under Special:Preferences and clicked save.) This way, you can make all the changes and mistakes you want and not have it affect anyone but yourself until you're ready to unleash it on the world.


 * Once you're finished creating the specialized version, go into Special:Preferences under the Skin tab and find the Admin Options at the bottom of the page. Select Custom from the drop-down menu and click save. —Topher ( talk ) 00:04, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, thank you. The last point with the preferences I didn't know about before. And I set a link to this wiki in the sidebar ("Englisches Wiki") and in the Welcome text. And I want to set a link in every article to the English version (like wikipedia). I have to see if I can do this. And one last thing: How can I change the favicon? --Shego123 13:01, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * You might want to set up a template that links back to our page. If you need help with it, I should be able to help you out. I'm not sure what you're going for with it. You could use a simple link under External links on every page, but you could also use something similar to our Template:Era where the link is above the title. Or, you could create a box above where the infobox would normally go.


 * For the favicon, you need to change [[File:Favicon.ico]]. If you're using a different icon than ours, make sure it is a true .ico in order to make sure it works. Also, be patient with it since it needs to go through the cache in order to work properly.


 * Lastly, were you aware of the existence of http://phineasundferb.wikia.com/wiki/Phineas_und_Ferb_Wiki? Maybe you could join forces with them since they only have 35 articles and the founder is the only editor. —Topher ( talk ) 06:47, November 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. And yes, I spoke with her already. She wants to help me. If I need help with anything I'll ask you^^ --Shego123 16:29, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

Logo done.
Here's one version of the Christmas logo you wanted. Sorry about the size, I was trying match the size of our regular wiki logo. Phin68  Fall Time!  14:19, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
