How do I hide the main page title

MediaWiki does not have a built-in option to hide the main page title. Instead you must use JavaScript or CSS.

In 1.9 and above, you can rely on CSS to hide it. Replace "Main_Page" with the appropriate page name, here with spaces replaced by underscores.

Code: Select all

body.page-Main_Page h1.firstHeading { display:none; }
If that doesn't work, look at the HTML source code to find the correct class to replace "page-Main_Page" with:

Code: Select all

<body class="mediawiki ns-0 ltr page-Some_title">
If no such class exists, then you cannot use this feature. You may be using a custom or outdated skin.

Hi, I'm using Mediawiki 1.10.1 with Gumax 3.0, and I can't quite figure out these instructions to hide the main page title.

Can someone explain *exactly* what I need to do? Where do I put that CSS?

Many thanks

Code: Select all

body.page-Main_Page h1.firstHeading { display:none; }

I don't have that file, but I do have ycgu_template.css

I put it in there, but the Main Page text still shows up....?

Many thanks

Follow the instruction here: http://paulgu.com/wiki/Manual:FAQ

If you still cannot figure it out, try to hire someone to do it for you.

I already saw that FAQ, as well as the main mediawiki FAQ on this subject. I had previously managed to hide the main page title using monobook and those FAQs, but the same methods didn't work in your template.

Thanks anyway

FWIW, putting

Code: Select all

body.page-Main_Page .gumax-firstHeading { display:none; }
into the /skins/gumaxdd/gumax_template.css file at about line 254 in the GuMaxDD v1.0 skin gets the job done. Line 254 is right after

Code: Select all

/* article title */
.gumax-firstHeading {
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 200%;
	color: #000;
	padding-bottom: 2px;
}
(assuming you haven't fiddled too much with the code already). Not sure how much help that will be to this particular situation, but there it is anyway. I figured this out through brute force and JD.

don't ask ... :?
