===Current status of this feature=== I've developed and tested a change to the skin PHP file that gets its selection of images from [[MediaWiki:Sto-skin-banners]]. Each line identifies a different image. It is tolerant of blank lines and, in my tests, properly ignores them. Images can identified in one of two ways: *by a path, such as <code>skins/sto/banner_1.png</code> *by a MediaWiki title, such as <code>File:Banner_1.png</code> The latter, naturally, only works for files that are uploaded through the wiki. There is one minor drawback with the latter approach; I didn't see any good fast way to check for the existence of said file before making the selection, so I decided to simply let it fail to load a banner in that case. (Better to have an obvious error result for a bad title, anyway.) The larger caveat is that it's still designed for the integrated images that have the top portion of the logo, the border, and the banner background all in the same file. Strictly speaking, changing that is another part of the skin, but there is little point in doing so until we have separate image files (transparent PNGs preferred) for the logo and the border. When and if we can get that done, I can change the banner appropriately and it'll be easier to create new banner images to use with this new feature. <font color="#999999">—</font> [[User:Eyes|<small>'''Eyes'''</small>]] [[Image:User-Eyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:Eyes]] 15:51, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
