User:Eulalia459678/My css/js tricks

This is a list of the codes that you can use either at your Special:Mypage/monobook.css page or Special:Mypage/monobook.js page. Also, if you are an Administrator or Bureaucrat, you can use them at MediaWiki:Common.css or MediaWiki:Common.js. Most, if not all, of these "tricks" came from Splarka. I haven't tested any of these in anything but Internet Explorer, so please, tell me if you try them in Firefox, Mozilla, Safari, Opera, or Konqueror.

Changing the Color and Boldness of Uncreated Talk Pages on the Recent Changes
This code is useful for welcoming new users. The code, listed below, changes the color and boldness of uncreated talk pages, for anons and new users.

 ul.special li a[title ^="User talk:"].new { color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold } 

This will make the link to uncreated talk pages bright red, and also make it bold. To change the color, just change #FF0000 to another color code.

Changing Edit Box Font Style
If you've gotten tired of the font style when editing pages, then simply place this code in your personal monobook.css page.

 textarea {font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size:110%;font-weight:bold} 

This will make the font Comic Sans MS, sized 110%, and bold, which is my favorite style. Simply replace the "Comic Sans MS" with the font name of your choice (while leaving the quotation marks). Also, boldness is optional.

Changing Misc. Recent Changes Things
This code changes the color of the "N" beside newly created pages, the color of the "m" that goes on minor edits, and, if you are and Admin/Bureaucrat, you can see that the "!" beside unpatrolled edits will also change color.

 .newpage { color : #990000; } .minor { color : #AAAAAA; } .unpatrolled { color : #ff00ff; } 

Once again, feel free to change the color codes.

Less Horrid "New Messages" Box
This changes the ugly orange "You have New Messages" box to a small, less shocking, white box with a black border.

 .usermessage { background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #777777; color: Black; font-weight: normal; margin: .5em 0em .5em 0em; padding: 4px; vertical-align: middle; } 

Yet again, feel free to change the color code.

Easier to Spot Redirects
Ever noticed how hard redirects are to spot in Special:Allpages? Well, this changes all that.

 .allpagesredirect a { background: url(/images/5/5c/Allpagesredirect.gif) center left no-repeat; padding-left: 13px; } 

Changes Templates Used in this Page
This changes the "Templates Used in This Page" from a long, bulleted list, to a short, unbulleted list.

 .templatesUsed ul { list-style: none; } .templatesUsed li { display: inline; padding: 0 0 0.1em 0; margin: 0 0.3em 0 0; }
