Legion Wiki talk:Community Portal/Look and feel

Logo

Splitting this and the following section from the above for ease of reply... - Reboot (SoM) talk page 22:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Wiki logo - I would prefer the new Wikipedia style logo to the old Time Trapper one. Any chance we could point to that instead? - Gopher 02:51, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Regarding the logo - Scott mentioned what Gerard said at Legion World about it -

"It may or may not qualify as okay legally - I'm not sure - but I prefer the Trapper logo, TBH. The only thing I would change is to move the LW a bit so it looks less tacked on (probably to the left of Legion Wiki rather than the right) - otherwise, it's a very good logo as-is."

*goes back to look at the context of that* [Four years ago?! How time flies...]

Ah, the "legally" bit was because LL originally had a direct copy of the Wikipedia logo with Interlac letters - a definite no-no - wasn't it?

Right now, this is tied up for me a lot with the skin, and whether we want to stick with the default Wikipedia-style skin in total, or customise it to some extent (as I'd like to). I don't much like the red/yellow "Legion Wiki" any more, and although I still like the Trapper picture itself, if we're part of a LegionWorld "family" with the .com and .net, then having a Legion World-based logo would make sense, although I'd rather not have a Wikipedia-font "LegionWiki" below it. - Reboot (SoM) talk page 22:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

My main issue with the Trapper image is that while, yes, the Trapper is part of Legion lore, he's not the Legion. I feel like the image should be of founders or the HQ or a Legion cruiser or something other than one villain, albeit an example of a Legion villain who has lasted (literally) through several reboots. Couldn't we have a picture of a Legion flight ring or a time bubble or some Legionnaires flying or something more positive than a creepy looking villain? Gopher 01:09, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Skin

Skin Test

See right for a test skin I did a while back. Any thoughts? - Reboot (SoM) talk page 17:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I like it. Want me to set it up? --Nightcrawler 04:36, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

If CG's happy with it as well, then I can do most of it myself by pasting into MediaWiki:Monobook.css. The only bit that needs to be done which I can't is change the logo URL in LocalSettings.php from http://www.legionworld.com/wiki/images/Legionwikilogo.gif to http://legionwiki.com/wiki/images/a/ab/LegionWikiLogo.png if you're both happy with that (Note that I've altered the skin test image to reflect the potential logo change and a few smaller bits. - Reboot (SoM) talk page 23:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

I think it looks great. Much more distinctive than our old generic skin. It's got my vote! Gopher 02:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

And now that its up and running, looks even better. Great job on the logo, by the way - I like the incorporation of the old Legionnaires logo. Gopher 12:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Favicon

Am I the only one getting a blank favicon? (i.e., not "no favicon", a blank square) - Reboot (SoM) talk page 18:46, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not getting one either, although I think I was a day or two ago. --Gopher 23:21, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

It was corrupted for some reason. Don't understand why it's not working now though. --Nightcrawler 04:44, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
