Changing the background for Mobile users
Hello, I asked the previous Wiki Manager Kittymmeow of this months ago, but never got a response, so hope you can help me out.

I would like to add this image to the background of the Mobile version of the wiki, but I have no clue how to do that.

I want both versions to be as similar as possible for layout reasons.

I can understand you're supposed to add some code to MediaWiki:Mobile.css, so if you can give me some guidance or add the code for me that would be appreciated.

 * Instead of the image you suggested, I've went ahead and used the background image on the desktop site (due to file size). Here's the change I've done to add the background and to make it visible. Surafbrov (talk) 22:03, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It looks great. ✨Skolander✨ (talk) 22:18, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Changing the color of links
Hey, I saw you changed a lot of the infrastructure on the wiki (which is highly appreciated btw), but unfortunately it seems the new "Minerva Neue" skin on mobile has changed the link colors.

They are very light blue on mobile, and because of the background we added they are rather unreadable.

I tried changing them to a darker blue (#2757b8) myself by changing the MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Mobile.css, but it seems to have only worked for desktop links. Desktop Vs Mobile Example

 * Only Mobile.css affects the mobile website. Fixed it here! Surafbrov (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Install Of Extension
I would like the MobileDetect Extension installed. Going to make formatting pages for mobile a lot easier. Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.

Gamecards
Hey there Surafbrov,

I recently had an exchange with Skolander on Discord, and they told me I should contact you directly.

I'm the technical Co-Founder of a small startup, and we are currently developing so-called "Gamecards" to display and share achievements and stats from games. You can see an early version of our Spellbreak Gamecard configurator here: https://app.flint.gg/generate/spellbreak

Skolander offered to help with media etc. from the Wiki, which we require to automate the Gamecard creation. He sent me the media pages for outfits e.g., and one way we could use that for our purpose is to simply scrape the wiki and somehow automate it in that way. That obviously isn't a really reliable and scalable way to do it on our end though, and since you are assigned to the database and backend part of this wiki, Skolander told me you might be able to help.

In the best case, I would want to have a simple API to regularly pull for outfit images and other info, such as different runes, etc. So I was wondering: Is there any way to access the data you provide in a more direct manner than scraping the website? Do you have a database that lies behind all this, or is it pretty much integrated with GamePedia and not really accessible from outside? In general, if there was an API, would you be willing to give us access?

Looking forward to hearing your feedback and opinion on this, Sebastian aka. T0TProduction

 * It would probably be better to do this directly with the game; I'd recommend contacting the game developers instead. Surafbrov 15:42, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah we already did that, but after saying they'd discuss it internally, there's not been any real feedback. Well, I guess scraping the media of the wiki works for now. It would be really great if we tried to connect your backend with ours though! T0TProduction (talk) 09:32, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Wiki having database issues
It appears there's some error in the MediaWiki database, a lot of the wiki's pages show "bad gateway", it's been an hour and it hasn't cleared up by itself. Notifying you in case there's something you can do about it. Skolander (talk) 00:21, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Issues seem to have subsided now. Skolander (talk) 01:12, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Migrating to FandomMobile
If I read This Page correctly, Gamepedia has now rolled out a new mobile layout for most wikis.

But when I'm testing it on multiple devices / browsers, it's rather inconsistent whether it is using FandomMobile or the legacy skin. So I have 2 questions:

1. Is FandomMobile now the default skin for mobile users who visit the site? Or is it opt-in? (for non-logged in users)

2. If it is, I'm going to need some assistance reworking most of the site's tables, because they all have formatting issues, can you help with that?

(Likely due to my janky attempts to make them work the way I want them to on the legacy skin) Skolander (talk) 06:35, 19 February 2021 (UTC)


 * FandomMobile is currently only set as default for select wikis. However, you can opt-in to view the FandomMobile for this wiki by visiting your user profile page; you should see a pop-up with a switch ("checkbox").
 * Yes.
