Edit the sidebar

Search for Mediawiki:Sidebar and you'll be redirected to a page containing the sidebar's content, which you may edit.

Create a URL shorthand for linking to another site

For example, I made one to www.x2engine.com so that the "About X2Engine" in the footer could be made a link to the main X2Engine site:

 INSERT INTO interwiki (iw_prefix, iw_url, iw_local, iw_trans) VALUES ("x2", "http://www.x2engine.com/$1", 1, 0);

Then, a link to the "about" page:

[[x2:partners]]

Add custom HTML to the template

Edit VectorTemplate::execute() in public_html/skins/Vector.php (a backup of this skin has been made in Backup/Vector, in case anything should go wrong). The body begins after these lines:

                // Output HTML Page
                $this->html( 'headelement' );
