Custom Skin[edit]
Hello, Bavolff ! - Just found your comment of a couple a days ago about the cool skin of Noclip and your ongoing design / server test. How is it working ?? - I look for such an amazing "look & feel" for my own wiki, which is set up on MediaWiki 1.11.1 (January 2008 version inclusive all new security patches). Does it work with this version ?? - Nice weekend / Hearing from you... --ElJay Arem - (talk) 16:08, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- While i havn't really actually done that much to it, and i'm still very new to php, but i see no reason why it should not work on the latest version of mediawiki. The version i'm testing on is 1.11.0rc1. The main drawbacks to it is that it is table based (and probably doesn't validate), It may have some issues with javascript made for monobook (havn't tested js, but i would assume) and the side bar becomes a little big on higher resolutions. If you have any questions, come find on IRC. Cheers. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:34, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
