The wiki style is quite rough, there is no logo. Does anybody has access to css to try to improve the style.

There is Free Mediawiki Skins that perhaps could help any volunteer.

I believe it's not too hard to allow users to modify the CSS of the wiki from the wiki itself.

1) Modify LocalSettings.php to create a new group with rights to edit pages in the "MediaWiki:" namespace:

$wgGroupPermissions['userswithinterfacerights']['editinterface'] = true;

2) When logged in as admin, go to the special pages Special:UserRights page and add whatever users you want to the new group 'userswithinterfacerights'.

3) Those users should then be able to edit the MediaWiki:Common.css page to improve the less-than-thoroughly-polished default Monobook style.

....or, if you trust everyone you could combine steps 1-3 and give all registered users rights to modify the MediaWiki namespace:

$wgGroupPermissions['users']['editinterface'] = true;

That'd be simpler.

If anyone can change the site's html, the logo is under

Code: Select all

<div class="portlet" id="p-logo">
        <a style="background-image: url(/wiki/skins/common/images/wiki.png);" href="/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page" title="Visit the main page [z]" accesskey="z"></a>

and the image url is right there. Luck for us it's already based on within the server's filesystem, so change /wiki/skins etc to /forum/styles/DarkFantasy/imageset/site_logo.png and it should just work!

Any good suggestions for a skin/logo?

I can't post imgs to the forum so here's a link.
Dunno about "completely upgraded", but it surely does symbolize open source nature of OpenMW.
