Yes, thanks for the info! The cache problem is something I discovered pretty quickly! :) It's a good things to warn people about.
I actually modified the mediawiki file that controls the cache headers, and turned off all caching.

You also have to remember that if your changes aren't showing, the page might be loading from the client-side cache instead of grabbing the new files. In IE you can reload the page with CTRL-F5 to force refresh.

How would I change the sidebar width? (I'm using monobook). Actually, I want to get rid of the whole sidebar, which I figured out how to do, but now I have the empty space where it used to be, and I want to have the content of the page fill up that space.
change the margin and/or padding value of the #content in skins/monobook/main.css file
I had done that, but it wasn't working. They I realized that I also have to change all the browser specific css files also, like IE60Fixes.css!
I'd love to see instructions on how to remove it. I've seen it done here and there, but I never did manage to do it myself.
I basically edited Monobook.php and removed the code that was responsible for outputting everything on the left side (and the footer also). Perhaps editing the CSS files, and changing the appropriate widths to 0, would also work?
Btw, having just started working on wikis for the first time this past week, it appears that one has to learn php & html if one wants to do any significant customization to the skins. This is esspecially true, because the comments in some of the skin files are very sparse.
