Grand Theft Wiki talk:Move from Wikia/issues: Difference between revisions

:MyHome is a Wikia feature, why do so many people want that back anyway? The main section of it is just a less useful version of [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Edits]]. The submenus in the sidebar are a feature from the Monaco skin, which we would have no longer had on Wikia anyway. I have never seen another MediaWiki skin with submenus unfortunately. As for the rich text editor, that was once again a Wikia feature, and most MediaWiki rich text editors break the wiki markup of pages. The most important parts of the wiki markup are fairly easy to learn, and in fact, manually entering the markup is much easier/quicker (once you know it) than pressing buttons on a rich text editor. If you're unsure what an edit will look like after saving, simply hit the '''preview''' button (next to the '''save''' button). The main wiki markup you need to know are: To make [[Sandbox|links]], simply use two square brackets on either side of the text that you're linking, for example: <code><nowiki>[[Sandbox]]</nowiki></code> creates a link to the [[Sandbox]]. You can also change the text of the link like this: <code><nowiki>[[Sandbox|test editing here]]</nowiki></code>, which creates a link to the Sandbox that says [[Sandbox|test editing here]]. The other two most important things are ''italics'', made like <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>, and '''bold''', made like <code><nowiki>'''this'''</nowiki></code>. Filling in infoboxes is less simple, but still quite easy to learn. If you don't know how to do something, you can always use the toolbar above the edit box, or the box full of different code below the save button: just click the type of code that you would like to use, and it will be inserted into the page at the current cursor location. Of course, you can also ask any member of [[staff]] if you don't know how to do something, and we are happy to help!

::Moving [[A B Auto]] to [[A+B Auto]] however results in "The destination page already exists" You're given the option to delete the old page and move (don't know what the result would be?) but if it works the history would be replaced with a new history saying that I just created the page (which I copied the content from Wikia)...
