This is a ShoutWiki help page, hosted at ShoutWiki Hub. If you want to suggest changes, leave a message on its talk page. If you want to replace this page with a custom help page for your wiki, click the create button above.

The tagline will be shown below the page title, but before the actual content.

As an administrator, you can add a tagline that will be shown on every page below the title. It is disabled by default, but you can enable it by adding the following lines into your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css and customizing MediaWiki:Tagline as appropriate:

/* Display text below main article header, located at MediaWiki:Tagline */
#siteSub {
	display: inline;
	font-size: 0.9em;
	font-weight: normal;
	font-style: italic;
}

This is the most common tagline style, but if you don't want the tagline to be italic, you can remove font-style: italic; from the above CSS. Or if you would like to be bold and the same size as other text, you could change font-size and font-weight values appropriately.

What are taglines good for?

Taglines are good for identifying where the page comes from and a descriptive tagline can attract new users to your wiki.
