:The sentence about the preceding paragraph is due to "Don't have a login? <u>Create an account</u>." text that everybody used to be able to see. Something changed, now you only see it if you're already logged in as a SysOP.
:I deleted the paragraph and updated the rest of the text. Some of it follows your suggestions. Next time please add italics in your comment to highlight the existing text. [[User:Tanstaafl|Tanstaafl]] 18:25, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 21:42, 24 May 2009

This talk page is not for support questions. If you have a question or an issue with any of the Mozilla products, please use the forums.

This page is for discussion of the content, appearance and structure of the front page (=main page), which is called Knowledge Base. For discussion about the Knowledge Base resource in general, please visit Knowledge Base changes. Thanks! Please remember to sign your comments with ~~~~

Some sections that used to be here have been moved to Knowledge Base changes

Front page is locked

The front page is locked to prevent vandalism. If things need editing, post them here or leave a message on the Talk page of one of the sysops.

Appearance of the Knowledge Base

By using the default wikimedia skin this wiki looks sadly unprofessional. By comparison with the beautifully designed MozillaZine header, the bottom part of the page seems to have simply being forced. Wikimedia has a gallery of user styles (most of them licensed as a free document) that serves as an example of how simple changes (like the color-schema) could give more life to this knowledge base. You want to be Mozillazine, not a wikipedia looking amateur wiki. Cheops might give you an idea of a warmer look for this page, and MiniMenu shows the wonderful possibilities the wiki has. --Avsa 20:18, 18 Apr 2005 (PDT)

Agreed, I'd love to see a better-looking style, but that depends on finding someone willing to implement it! --Mozcerize 01:01, 19 Apr 2005 (PDT)
