Lo, I have mastered the ways of customizing the Monaco theme, so now we can make the wiki look however we want! What do you think? I stole the red header color from right here on the Board. I thought it would be more home-like.
Note: if you can't see the new colors, you probably have your skin preferences set to not let the admins override your choice. You may wish to change that now that the admins actually have a say in what the skin colors are.

It looks great, and it's easy to read, which is really good.

It looks nice. It really does make it seem more cohesive. I always loved a good wiki.

I especially like that you've connected the theme to the Board. :)

On the subject of the Wiki ... (attention all users!) by
on 2010-04-05 00:30:00 UTC

I am spending the day, as I periodically do, mucking around trying to reduce our number of Wanted Pages.
A lot of these wanted pages are one-use references to Agents whom, insofar as I can see, have never had any missions or places in other writings either.
With that in mind, I am going through all the one-link-only wanted pages and unlinking all the ones that are Agent names. If you are a writer of an Agent like this, please, only make a link if you're going to make a page, and make a page SOON, rather than 'oh, I'll get round to that when I've written something about them'.
If you have information on an Agent character that I've de-linked, feel free to relink and create the page. In fact, PLEASE do that. However if I've delinked one of your Agents, please THINK before relinking. Or rather, please don't relink unless you make the page right there and then.
(Please note, the Wanted Pages list does not update itself as soon as links have been removed, only when pages are made, so it will take a few days for my changes to show up on that list)
It's about time we had another drive on closing the gap on that Wanted Pages list anyway! Come on guys, if everyone makes a page from the Wanted List, we can cut it down some more. We're at just over 200 wanted - a couple of days of people making pages and we could get it way down :D

Like Trojie said, most of the wanted pages are new agents, covered elsewhere, or have had a page made already but never got taken off the list. As Trojie said, the page itself won't change for a while, but in the meantime here is a new, thinned-out list.
1. Atlantyx (game)
2. Imbolc Telyan (Arthurverse)
3. Static Shock (Should be in 23)
4. Plot Elements
5. Death Note
6. Unfinished Tales
7. Starship
8. New Batman/Superman Adventures (Should be in 23)
9. Spartacus
10. Sufficiently Advanced Vending Machine
11. Ronin
12. Cuteness factor
13. Justice League Unlimited (Should be in 23)
14. Forgotten Bits Charity Fund
15. Antimatter
16. Long-Term Medical Hologram
17. Sandbox (?)
18. Portal (video game)
19. Patriot Games
20. The End of the Beginning
21. Justice League
22. Naga Sadow
23. Department of Mary Sue Research and Experiments
24. ER
25. Submachines (?)
26. List of First Generation Cards in the PPC Card Game
27. Republic
28. STAR Labs
29. VeggieTales
30. The Prince (human)
31. Don't Say A Word
32. The Void (Middle-earth)
33. Confusion
34. Hogwarts Exposed
35. Romance
36. Battle of the Department of Sufficiently Advanced Technology
37. Small Murphy's Goods and Services
38. Airborne
39. Balto
40. Technician
41. Scout Division
42. Chronicles of Prydain
43. Nintendo
44. Half Life
45. The Legend of Dragoon
46. Neon Genesis Evangelion
47. NES/Nintendo Entertainment System
48. Montreal 2007 PPC Gathering
49. Shaman King
50. Superman: The Animated Series (23)
51. Gundam Wing
52. Bionicle
53. Yu-Gi-Oh!
54. Oldie
55. Evangelion (
This still needs a lot of work, and can be thinned out easily, but is still an improvement over our previous 200-something long previous list. -

the things you've taken out of the list that you've posted here, you haven't actually gone through and removed their redlinks?
(if you have, wow, awesome! Quick work!)
I'm going to be continuing to take out these redlinks.
Redlinks on user's pages will NOT be just removed, instead I'm putting messages on talk pages about it :) And some of the names that look like they're Agent names are actually character names, in which case I'm not getting rid of them. I've been tending to make short stub pages saying things like 'a character in [story]' in the hopes that someone who knows about them will see the stub page and get the urge to fill it in :) -

Thats what I'm doing today. And I might have deleted one or two character names, but unless they're really major characters, I think they need to go in the articles on their respective canons.

How would one go about changing that?
Considering that I still see the old style when not logged in, and thus have nothing set in the way of overriding or not. -

When logged in, you click where it says MORE up in the top right corner of the page, and select "Preferences" from the drop-down menu that appears.
When the page finishes loading, you should see a row of tabs below the usual ones that appear on your home/user page. The second tab from the left says "Skin." Click that one.
It gives you a selection of various pre-made Monaco skins, but if you scroll down the page, you should see other options under the bold heading "Wikipedia Skin." There should be a square checkbox next to the option "Let the admins override my skin choice." There's also some text explaining why it's a good idea. {= ) Select the checkbox and click the "Save" button below.
And that's it!
