+I recently redesigned the main page. There are now inputboxes to create and search NetHackWiki articles. Everything is formatted into a table, but because I used so much HTML and CSS, the main page might now be difficult for less-advanced users to edit.
 [[Wikicities:Help:Inputbox]] has information about the "create" and "search" inputboxes, in case you are trying to work on those. [[MetaWikipedia:Help:Table]] documents the table syntax. I use http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21 to find CSS for the "style" attributes of HTML tags.

 From [[User:Kernigh/Main_Page]], I've created [[User:Jayt/Sandbox/Main_Page]], which is one possible idea. The CSS is a bit sloppy - too much space is wasted on borders and margins - and I haven't spent any time on the colours. I think this design could work quite well; how does it look on a 1024x768 screen? And are the abbreviated role names a bit jargony? --[[User:Jayt|Jayt]] 13:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 :I've made several CSS tweaks that tighten up the layout: [[User:Jayt/Sandbox/Main Page]]. Again, the colours could use some attention from a fresh pair of eyes. I think this new revision is good: title, introduction, Roles, Items, Feature and News are all immediately apparent, even on a 1024x768 screen (that's ''apparent'', not fully visible - it's enough that someone notices there is more, and then scrolls down). I've also created {{tl|currentfeature}} for easy editing of the featured article. --[[User:Jayt|Jayt]] 16:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

 :Consult the help file, and look for stairs. The stairs down look like this '>' the staris up look like '<'. You stand on the top of the stairs '>' and press the '>' key. You will be in a new room on the next level, and after you move off the space you were on, it will look like '<' and you can go up the stairs by standing on the '<' and pressing the '<' key.

 It is now the main actively developed Wikia platform. As a successor to Quartz, it comes with even more customizability - you can find out more on [[w:c:inside:Monaco Skin Customization]], where you can also find out info about the [[w:c:inside:MonacoWhatsNew|new features]] and [[w:c:inside:Widgets|widgets]] available. I have taken the liberty of already creating your [[MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar]], but you can customize it much further with more links.
 An admin can set the default site skin via the skin section on [[Special:Preferences]], or by editing [[MediaWiki:AdminSkin]]. If users wish to see another skin than the default, they can untick "See custom wiki skins (recommended)" on the same page.
 We really want wikis to move on to Monaco partly because it's more awesome than Quartz and Monobook and partly as it is where the bulk of our resources are currently aimed :) Please report any problems or questions with Monaco [http://inside.wikia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=162&sid=a6f4ab5c4aed5914fdaaad1b7f6d3790 here]
