Wiki configuation: within wiki itself (via sysop) - Changing the overall wiki appearance

If you have sysop access to the wiki, you can easily change these settings.

The Side bar menu

Edit the left 'navigation' sidebar: Mediawiki:Sidebar

Images used in layout

The top left logo: :Image:Recoup trans 150.png

The background image: :Image:Headbg_blue.png

Changing page appearances: Templates

See Help:Templates. Templates are also listed in the :Category:Templates.

Additional Javascript and css

See MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css.

Modifications of MediaWiki:Common.css:

  • Hide the page titles for manual pages. When changing or removing page title of manual pages, the css needs to be adjusted to keep the page title hidden.

Modifications of MediaWiki:Common.js:

  • Added extra buttons to edit menu.

Modifications to MediaWiki:Monobook.css:

  • background: #FEFAF2 url(../../images/a/a6/Headbg.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;

Wiki configuration: server environment

Quick facts.

  • For details of this wiki install, see installed components, see Special:Version.
  • A number of extensions have been added, see below.
  • The server site on a Cambridge University Computing Service 'Managed Web Server' called 'recoup'.
  • Because the server is a UCS Managed Web Server, the DNS entry is also managed by the UCS. They set up manual.recoup.educ.cam.ac.uk as a subdomain, and the "www.manual" version has also been made to work, in case the url is mistyped.
  • A mailing webmaster mailing list has been set up on the UCS mailing lists.
  • A google analytics account has been set up.
