| + | Hey guys - Wikia is trying a new experiment with getting new people to edit pages.

The idea is that this will make it more eye-catching to users who aren't as familiar with the Monaco look as some of you are. |

We want to use Yo-Yo, since we need info from a new Toys wiki, and you guys have a lot of traffic through here. You can see an example of how it looks in use on [[w:c:muppet|Muppet Wiki]]. |

Hey guys - Wikia is trying a new experiment with getting new people to edit pages. What we want to do is change the Edit bar at the top of pages so there's a simple tab around "Edit This Page", which will make it stand out a bit. The idea is that this will make it more eye-catching to users who aren't as familiar with the Monaco look as some of you are.
Like I say, this is an experiment. What we want to do is take the data from, say, the past month and compare it against a two-week trial period where we'll have the Edit tab active, and compare to see if there's a change in the number of viewers editing pages. We want to use Yo-Yo, since we need info from a new Toys wiki, and you guys have a lot of traffic through here. You can see an example of how it looks in use on Muppet Wiki.
