For banner images to work correctly with the skin modifications we're making, they will need to be 980x138 in size. This does mean a small amount of the edges will end up covered up, but for consistent positioning, they need to be the same size as the original banners. Note that the borders and logo will not need to be included in the image, and that you will be able to upload banners directly to the wiki and make them active by including each on a line on [[MediaWiki:Sto-skin-banners]]. Write the names as you would to display the image on a page, but without the square brackets. There is no harm in adding images to the list before the skin modifications are made live. <font color="#999999">—</font> [[User:Eyes|<small>'''Eyes'''</small>]] [[Image:User-Eyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:Eyes]] 07:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC) :Will the blue LCARS border and Star Trek delta logo be going over the image? For example: [http://www.stowiki.org/File:Banner14.png] (2nd version has the part that is visible, where it would be when interface goes over it). --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 07:41, 2 August 2011 (UTC) ::[http://sto.aeongarden.com/wiki/ See for yourself.] <font color="#999999">—</font> [[User:Eyes|<small>'''Eyes'''</small>]] [[Image:User-Eyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:Eyes]] 07:45, 2 August 2011 (UTC) ::: You rock! :) --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 07:50, 2 August 2011 (UTC) :::: He definitely does. Since Carl does not seem to have kept his templates for buttons and the like, I started to re-do all the skin graphics. That way we can create our custom banners, buttons and side bar categories. Yesterday I gave the first batch of graphics to Eyes and he makes the magic work faster than Q can snip his fingers :-). --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 09:25, 2 August 2011 (UTC) : It also occurs to me that if you add an image to [[MediaWiki:Sto-skin-banners]], you'll want to protect the file. Otherwise, any registered user can upload over it and it could become a vandal target for anyone who figures out what the skin is doing. (And thanks, guys.) <font color="#999999">—</font> [[User:Eyes|<small>'''Eyes'''</small>]] [[Image:User-Eyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:Eyes]] 10:31, 2 August 2011 (UTC) :: Hmmm, it cannot be protected (and I'm a bureaucrat...). That's weired. Can we use an article in the project-namespace instead? --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 11:33, 2 August 2011 (UTC) ::: I mean protect the images when they're uploaded. The MediaWiki namespace has its own kind of protection limiting it to editing by sysops and above already. <font color="#999999">—</font> [[User:Eyes|<small>'''Eyes'''</small>]] [[Image:User-Eyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:Eyes]] 11:42, 2 August 2011 (UTC) :::: Updated the feature so that it will now refuse to load an unprotected image. When it selects an image that isn't protected, it just won't load the banner background at all. That'll help serve as a reminder. <font color="#999999">—</font> [[User:Eyes|<small>'''Eyes'''</small>]] [[Image:User-Eyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:Eyes]] 12:05, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
