I need some help with tables, blargh.

Right here. Is there a way to make the four middle sections have equal heights? They're tables within a table, so I'm not really sure how that would work..

And if there's no way to adjust the heights... is there a way to align the headers so they're next to eachother nice and evenly? I dunno how to explain that but I hope that made sense. D:

Check out here. I believe that same attribute can be used cell wise, similar to cell-wise width.

Edit: My apologizes. I think they may of disabled table heights for mediawiki. Maybe there are other options out there.... :)

For this situation, i think MediaWiki has it best. Of course, if you have more questions, feel free to ask.

How do I change the icon in the browser's address line (favicon)?


  • Simply upload your favicon.ico to the root of your domain/subdomain, make sure file name is in lower case and its name is favicon.ico
  • Alternatively edit the $wgFavicon setting in LocalSettings.php and add
Code: [Select]
$wgFavicon = "$wgScriptPath/path/to/your/favicon.ico";

    See Manual:$wgFavicon for more details.

    Tip: The favicon image should be either 16 x 16 pixels or 32 x 32 pixels.
    - quoted from Here

    Personally, i like the second option: I get to keep a separate file name for each favicon.

    Am I allowed to copy and paste templates from Wikipedia onto my own wiki? I think it would help a lot if I could borrow their Navbox template. According to their FAQ, it seems like I can (http://tinyurl.com/249uday). I just want to make sure though.

    you can, just be sure to cite or source them in someway shape or form.

    Pesonally, i would use this:
    Quote
    Template gotten from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Navbox] on October 26th, 2010.


    It tells people 1) where i got it from, 2) when i got it (in the case the original page receives an update that my page doesn't have), and 3) if i were to choose to provide little to no documentation, the link tells people where to go for more details on how to use the template.

    How can I tell if I am allowed to upload an image to my wiki (as far as copyrights go)?

    Where do you intend on getting the images from?

    I was intending to get them from various websites (fan sites, video game blogs, Wikipedia, etc).
