StrategyWiki:Guide/Preferences

If you're signed in, at the top of the page you'll notice the preferences link; within it are options to modify StrategyWiki to look and display the way you want it to. Below are the various sections found within preferences, with more information on each.

User profile
In the user profile section, various settings related to your personal information on StrategyWiki can be changed.

Skins
Skins are sets of images and layouts that you can use on the website rather than the standard "Blue Cloud". Choosing a different skin will change the appearance of StrategyWiki for you, but it won't make any difference to the content of the guides. Blue Cloud is the default and preferred skin, and it will give the best experience when using StrategyWiki, as many of the site's templates cater specifically to it, and not to other skins.
