  • title will result in a pagetitle with format Class/title-entered-by-user such as Organization/wikibase-solutions
  • next_available will result in a pagetitle with format Class/incremental_number such as Organization/1 Organization/2 Organization/3 etc.

Different Chameleon components can be ordered for different page classes

  • Base csp components are: sidebar, sub-header, main
  • They are defined in the Chameleon skin XML and the default values are set in layout.css
  • You can define different layouts on the Areas parameter, see grid-template-areas for syntax
  • You can define sizes for the columns and rows for this layout, see grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows for syntax
