Date format?
I don't see any "Date Format" preferences in my Preferences. Is that help item outdated? --oddtodd 22:46, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)
- Yeah, it looks like these instructions are for a different version of MediaWiki. I'm pretty sure they are for the last stable release, version 1.3.7. We are using version 1.3.0beta4. -- Tom 10:28, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)
- However old it is, after looking at this document at Wikipedia, I can tell that it hasn't been updated since our last upgrade. Any objections to me updating it to match the one there? — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 04:44, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Color Signature
Right now I am trying to make my signature a corn flower blue color with the text looking something like this: ~Rebecca~ RJMT Right now in the signature box of my preferences I have entered: span style='color:#6495ed;" before ~Rebecca~ RJMT and /span after it but only ~Rebecca~ RJMT without the color, shows up. What did I do wrong??? --~Rebecca~ RJMT 17:34, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- I think the problem is caused by the ' at the beginning. I think it's meant to be a ". --

Problem with Colors
Ok, I got most of the color working, but now i have another problem. Right now my nickname looks like this: ~Rebecca~ Username: RJMT | Contributions but I'm trying to turn the link that says contributions blue. I have: span style="color:#0000cd;" in front of the link. --~Rebecca~ Username: RJMT | Contributions 21:54, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- You cannot edit the color of links that way. The color must be placed INSIDE The link. Anyway, that is the wrong sort of Contributions page. Try Special:Contributions/RJMT. --Jay (Talk) 21:59, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)
MySkin?
What is this "MySkin" and how do I customize it? --Strong Rad 23:04, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Select "MySkin" as described in the article, then customize User:Strong Rad/MySkin.css to your liking. You can also customize User:Strong Rad/monobook.css in the same way. -- Tom 23:37, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll customize it to look like my website (which has a WEIRD stylesheet). --Strong Rad 02:51, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)
