Main page changes
Hi, i was wondering about being able to change the main page in this wiki. Is it only for admins or mods or will it be possible for me two edit it. I just would like to link in the pages about the blocks, crafting and resources that i have made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CameronLow20 (talk • contribs) 20:47, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Parser extension
Hi there, I have had someone on the forums asking about installing an extension. It is called parser functions, but i have realised that i don't think i can install it, only the like owner can or something. Anyhow i was wondering if you know how to do it. Thanks Cameron Low (talk) 16:10, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This extension is already installed. You can see a list of installed extensions here: Special:Version. Let me know if you need anything else or need help with the parsing functions! --Alianin (talk) 17:31, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

CSS Changes
Hello, I would like to slightly alter the css so that we can create a list of links that looks much like the category link listing. You can kind-of see how we are currently doing it on this article: GSO_Standard_Block. I'd like to make the links at the article to appear just like the category links at the bottom. It appears that those styles are applied to any element with an ID of 'catlinks' ... I'd like to change it to work off an ID or a class. Is this an appropriate change? I attempted to simply copy the look with inline styles but it seems that making white links is purposely prevented.

Thanks for the assistance! -- Zinefer (talk) 9:40, 6 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Is this just for use in the See Also nav bar or somewhere else, too? Is the css that you have on that template what you want added? --Alianin (talk) 17:51, 8 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Oops, I managed to get it figured out and forgot to give you an update here. Sorry about that! I'm not sure we really need to make any changes to the CSS. :) --Zinefer (talk) 6:56, 8 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and added a "navbox" class to the CSS and updated the template. This should be cleaner and easier to use and base new nav templates off of. Feel free to change/update it. --Alianin (talk) 20:58, 8 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Awesome, your changes look great --Zinefer (talk) 22:37, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I like how the raw and refined pages look with their own articles but I think I'd prefer if most people use the combined resource pages like Carbite and Plumbite as I feel they're far more useful. Is there a way to bold the 'Plumbite' link in the Resource nav while on the 'Plumbite Ore' page? Would something like this be appropriate? --Zinefer (talk) 04:47, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Which is better to do when editing a template's CSS. Embedding the CSS in the template with &lt;style&gt; or in the Common.css? I want to add custom classes for Template:Block Infobox which is a very heavily used template. I guess my main question is Common.css loaded externally via a &lt;link&gt; or added as an embed? If it's embed I'll just put it in the template itself. --MNSweet (talk) 02:14, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I usually add the CSS to MediaWiki:Hydra.css. I rarely use Common.css unless it's a very generalized styling. In this case, I'd suggest adding it to Hydra.css. --Alianin T &bull; C 17:40, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay will do. Thank you. --MNSweet (talk) 18:11, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
