Your main page prototype
There's a very real chance that your main page may be implemented while the wiki is using the Halloween Theme. The theme is set to be rolled out this Wednesday. That means from then until we go back to the standard theme, your main page prototype won't match the wiki's theme. Currently the main page templates have been updated to use a new template, {{Theme color}}. Theme color outputs a hexadecimal color code depending on the input it's given. Right now it outputs two colors, green and blue; {{Theme color|<blue>}} replaces #2479A5 and {{Theme color|<green>}} replaces #49AB00. When the Halloween Theme is rolled out, the template will be changed, so each template that uses theme color will also update automatically. I'd suggest that you update any templates that your prototype main page uses to use Theme color instead of the hexadecimal color codes.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 06:20, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
- I had noticed that you added the halloween colors to the template - I removed them. This is because, when we switch to the new theme, I'm simply going to replace the green hex color with an orange hex color, and the blue hex color with a purple one. So the code for the color will still be {{Theme color|<blue>}} or {{Theme color|<green>}}, but the theme color template itself will be changed so that it displays orange and purple. The wiki headers ({{MP header blue}} and {{MP header green}}) are based on code in the wiki's .css page, which I'll be updating when the theme goes live. You can see how everything is set up on my test wiki. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 08:49, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
