Me and some other users have been thinking about a new skin for the wiki. A skin has m,any positives such as it looks better, thus making it more appealing to new users. If you want to make a skin, you should probably test on '''User:''your username''/Monobook.css''' replacing your username with your username. Or you might have another type of skin you want to change: monaco, quartz, etc. But test on your userspace first. then submit it here, linking to the page. I like the skin [http://banjo-kazooie.net/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css here]. A couple of minor changes would make it look even better. Thoughts?

*After a long period of discussion and changing the monobook.ccs stuff, I think the skin is all fixed up and ready to use. Chicken7 and I think we could put red feathers on the blue background like Piñata Island has done with leaves. Chicken thinks he knows how to add an image of a feather on the blue background. First we need a detailed picture, like a drawing so I am asking a very good drawer from SWFanon to draw it. I will give her an image she can look at to draw it. Her name is Trak Nar.

*If you would like the monobook skin, copy my[http://banjokazooie.wikia.com/wiki/User:Arav_the_Undersith/monobook.css] code and paste it on your User:<name>/monobook.ccs. Chicken7's is also the same. Big thanks to chicken for making this skin!

===Consensus===

OK. Now I need consensus on whether the skin should be approved or not to go forward and become the main Monobook skin over the normal simple white one. I have discovered all the problems I can find with the current one and the best actual way to find them is for millions of users to be scanning the website at the same time, then they can be reported to be swiftly fixed. If you want something changed on it, feel free to ask on my talk page. We can always change it back if we get too many complaints or it is no longer wanted. The new skin I believe will attract many more users and please the ones already here. So..vote :) {{User:Chicken7/sig}} 12:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
