You can change this in stylesheets: wiki/skins/monobook/main.css

Yours looks like this:

#p-cactions { position:absolute; top: 1.3em; left: 11.5em; margin: 0; white-space:nowrap; width: 76%; line-height: 1.1em; overflow: visible; background: none; border-collapse: collapse; padding-left: 1em; list-style: none; font-size: 95%; }

Mine is like this:

#p-cactions { position: relative; left: 13.3em; margin: 0; white-space:nowrap; width: 75%; line-height: 1.1em; overflow: invisible; border-collapse: collapse; padding-left: 1em; list-style: inline; font-size: 75%; }

The important part is: position:absolute; <----locates absolute (relative to screen) or relative (located in a table cell or div, etc..) top: 1.3em; <----distance from top of screen if absolute or top of cell if relative left: 11.5em; <---distance from left of screen if absolute or left of cell if relative.

My skin is still under construction.

Thanks Rowan, works well. See http://andrewcoombes.name/wiki for result. If it views OK without linking to our intranet then you will see that our corporate header is in the right place, and the main body of the page has moved down to accommodate it - but the tags with "Article", "Discussion", "Edit", "History", etc. remain the same place, now obscuring part of the header. I can't find where to move these - anyone help?

Unfortunately if I can't display the header and footer I can't use the Wiki on the intranet !!
