Forum:Testing Darwin

Topic
Hello! In case you haven't heard of it yet, Wikia is now experimenting with "the next evolution" known as an improved and upgraded theme for Wikia, Project:Darwin. It is essentially a new "evolution" for Wikia's user interface (skin), which is going to be rolled out in stages. The first stage implements a "fluid" layout which adjusts page size according to your monitor resolution - a big change from the current fixed-width pages of 1000px. It also adds a new tool for administrators - an editor for MediaWiki:Wikia.css which includes syntax highlighting and real-time error checking.

Project Darwin is a rather interesting project and I have been closely paying attention to all of the news on the first stage for Darwin. Adding the Darwin theme is a step in the right direction for not only our editors, but all of our readers as well. This also gives a wide opportunity to flexibly get both positive and negative feedback about the skin into making it the best it can be.

Hopefully, majority of the community will be prepared to perform an important part of Wikia's future in the Darwin theme by testing this theme and trying it out. This will make many improvements to the wiki overall and can be very positive for both editors and readers of Adventure Time Wiki!

Changes

 * Majorly increased page width
 * Using Special:CSS as opposed to MediaWiki:Wikia.css
 * Special:CSS is also restricted to administrator view, which is also a neat preventation measure of any code theft
 * Currently, Community Central and Darwin Wiki use the upgraded custom Darwin theme.

Voting

 * Per above. -- Yuzura☆ 炎のマスタ ー 19:15, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
