Revision as of 15:39, 28 October 2020
, 15:39, 28 October 2020→The Front Page
To do the front page, I copied the source of [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Main_page&action=edit Template:Main page] from mediawiki to a page (called Test) and created [Template:Main page/styles.css] using [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Main_page/styles.css&action=edit mediawiki's code]. Then I rejigged the contents of the page!
The only minor but non-obvious change, was that I used h2 headings inside each mainpage_box, rather than h3's. As a consequence, I needed to add the following to [[Template:Main_page/styles.css]]:
.mainpage_box h2 {
border-bottom: none;
}
.mainpage_box h2 .header_icon {
margin-right: 5px;
}
Old instructions[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:R1j08xhjgrtkpj6q] suggest using [[Special:ExpandTemplate]] on mediawiki's wiki, with the input text <nowiki>{{:MediaWiki}}</nowiki>. But this isn't necessary as the template doesn't need expanding in its current (at the time of writing) incarnation. Naturally, the page works well on MobileFrontend.
