RE: Quick questions[edit source]
Hello there James26,
For the logo, you can upload a .png image with the name File:Wiki.png to your wiki and it will be automatically displayed as the logo for your wiki. For the background image you can upload any file and use the following code for the monobook skin on MediaWiki:Monobook.css. Obviously, you will have to replace the text "imageurl" with the url to the image you want to use as the background.
/* Background image */
body
{
background-image:url(imageurl);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me again. --Jedimca0

- Hi again,
I've taken a look at it, and it appears I missed the " in the above code and the url needed a tweak. I fixed it and it should be working now. --Jedimca0(talk) 09:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
I noticed your question on User talk:Jedimca0—the way to do it is to change the repeat-x declaration on MediaWiki:Monobook.css to repeat. On another note, I recommend you protect the file MelrosePlacePic.jpg, as anyone could theoretically change the background of your wiki by uploading a new file over the existing one. 〆vonPreußen／talk
- Hi there, You left the hyphen-minus after the 'repeat' as such:
repeat-. Just remove that, so it only showsrepeatand it should show up fine. 〆vonPreußen／talk
- The hyphen-minus was causing the issue; it's displaying fine again (and repeating vertically) on my end. If it's not displaying on your end, it's likely a cache issue. Try clearing your cache using the following instructions (if you don't use one of these browsers, let me know which you use so I can provide instructions) and it should begin working again.
- Internet Explorer: hold down the Ctrl key and click the Refresh or Reload button, or press Ctrl+F5.
- Firefox: hold down the Shift key while clicking Reload; alternatively press Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R.
- Opera: clear the cache through Tools→Preferences.
- Konqueror and Safari: just click the Reload button.
- Chrome: press Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5.
