As can probably be seen on Seth's talk page, there's been a bit of talk about how to cast a Christmassy spell over the wiki. A few ideas have been tossed around (not really), but the community needs to decide as just that - a community. It's better to debate early than late, after all. So what do you think? --This is an automatically sent message. (You can reply here) 01:37, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
- I think some of the suggestions mentioned in the discussion already are good. We could also try using one of the Christmas scenes from the film for a backdrop. Since I've been working on the song samples and pages recently, I'll also see about improving the page for Christmas at Hogwarts. For that matter - Christmas at Hogwarts (soundtrack) needs to be merged into that. The merge template has been on there for the longest time and I can't see any good reason why there are two pages for the same subject. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:55, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
- I agree, now that there are suggestions (most coming from you and Seth, admittedly). I've already started working on the merge. --This is an automatically sent message. (You can reply here) 02:06, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
- As we're now in December, I've went ahead and updated the slider in the Main Page with our Season's Greetings (and got rid of the Casual Vacancy thing -- the book's been on the shelves for two months, now). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 01:05, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you Seth :) --Happy Christmas! (Season's Greetings) 01:09, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Nice one! I forgot that it's already December on Wikia time - it's still November 31 locally and will be for another three hours or so. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:59, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Just added in some Christmas colours and a Yule Ball background. Normally I don't prefer a tiled background, but it seems to be working for this. Still, if we can get a larger version of this image, it might make a better choice for the background. Or if someone wants to try something more customized, that could work too. Would be nice to also do something with the logo - maybe add in a Santa hat and/or something in the background and some such, but I'm afraid I've never been any great shakes at manipulating graphics in that way.

- Same here, Professor; two and a half hours till December. Nice one with the background, and I liked the green buttons. As for the logo - I would offer to do that, but I'm not too good at it myself and couldn't upload it onto the thing anyways. Thanks everyone - so far my first Christmas here looks like the best one. --Happy Christmas! (Season's Greetings) 02:26, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
Over here it's been December for about 2 hours. Anyways, I've uploaded a new Christmas wordmark -- hope you like it. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 02:34, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Looks great! Now we've got the full holiday look. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:47, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- I couldn't have said better, Professor. Thank you both for making this such a memorable experience for me. I just wish I could have done something in return... --Happy Christmas! (Season's Greetings) 02:55, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Do you have DVDs of the films? I'm still after a higher resolution image of that background. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:56, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Sadly, no - I've never seen the last five films, and the first four I only saw online. If I could find a site with good quality image, I could probably upload one, but after going through ten sets of search results the best I could find frequently skipped and managed to leave out the whole Yule Ball scene entirely. --Happy Christmas!

Perhaps this screenshot can help. I hope I have filled the summary correct. File:Background-Example.png

- I tried it, but I think I still prefer the current tiled background. I think we'll go ahead and stick with it. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:07, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
- The tiled background was a bit awkward, IMO. I tried fooling around with a Yule Ball picture, but then I ended up trying a picture of the Christmas tree from Chamber of Secrets. How do you like it? -- Seth Cooper owl post! 01:19, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Ah yes, very good! Definitely liking this one. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:50, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Soooo many Christmas trees, nice idea! Looks good. Harry granger Talk contribs 12:49, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
