== Altering the look of the Wiki ==
=== Changing the default skin ===
''See also: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Layout

The default layout, or skin, of the wiki interface is Wikia. If you prefer to use a skin that is similar to the one used on [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], you change the layout from Wikia to Monobook in your [http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Preferences User Preferences].

[http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/home?useskin=monobook Click here] to temporarily view this page using the Monobook skin.

=== Disabling tooltips ===
If you prefer not to view the tooltips that appear when hovering over item links found on patch pages, quest guides and some other pages, add the following code to your personal [[Special:Mypage/common.js|js page]].

<pre>
var tooltipsOn = false;
</pre>

=== Editing other elements (advanced) ===

Please do not edit the Mediawiki page without speaking to an [[ACCWiki:Administrators|admin]] first.
