Try Wikipedia Beta

This news is for those using Wikipedia and bored with the old outlook. If you want to try Wikipedia with more colorful pages and customized options, then its time now, for that. Wikipedia has introduced several cool features in its beta release.

You can try Wikipedia Beta with a login account (of course). Hit “Try Beta” link on the right top of the page to customize your wiki. Apart from some good looking themes, there are other tweaks like advanced toolbar, custom CSS (Cascading Style Sheet), easy special character input and a few others. It has become more friendly for people actively participating in contributing to its articles, especially for the beginners.

To try a new look & feel, get an account with Wikipedia and browse to the My Preference –> Appearance page. You are free to chose between 9 skins. My own favorite was Vector.

If you don’t really find anything useful for you, you can always revert from Beta by clicking on the “Leave Beta” link at the top right.
