This page describes site design ideas that affect the entire site's user interface, or look and feel. (To peruse or discuss content design ideas that affect groups of pages but not the design of the site in general, see the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]].) To experience what the wiki would be like if the changes described on this page were implemented, log in, go to your Preferences, click the Skins tab, and then choose the FamilySearchWikiTest1 skin. Don’t forget to click Save. Don’t worry -- if you don't like the changes, you can go to the Skins tab again and choose the FamilySearchWiki skin again. | This page describes site design ideas that affect the entire site's user interface, or look and feel.
