The new monobook skin looks great! But all Wikia wikis are moving over to the new Monaco as default. That doesn't mean the new monobook can't be used, it can still be a personal preference, but we are helping wikis move to the new skin for the site default. Our designer, Christian has taken your design, and carried it over to Monaco... which gives you the same cool look but with the shiny new skin. (To see it on pages, you need to add "?useskin=monaco&usetheme=custom" to the URL) | The new monobook skin looks great! But all Wikia wikis are moving over to the new Monaco as default.

These two ads are the only ones you will see if you are logged in, all other pages will be ad free on Monaco for logged in users. | ||
I have started a draft main page with the new tags on Main Page/draft which I hope you can take a look at - it's not quite working yet, I can't see how to get the second column working with the tabs. But I'll be back for another go later today.
