Installing a Project with Custom Frames

[edit]
  • This is a very useful means of starting a new project for anyone looking forward to customizing the looks and feel of a specific project but it does require a little more patience.
  • You first need to copy/paste the code found on the page Wikipedia:WikiProject Turnkey Project and follow the 3 steps provided on that page.
  • You then need to create a frame reference page that will be used by each section of your main project page. Simply click on the "modify" link that appears in the upper right corner of each section.
  • Add the appropriate content related to each section, but be careful with your modifications ; any careless modification involving categories, templates, etc., might affect the main project page itself.
  • In order to change the color scheme of your project, see the next section.
