 * Basically, they (or a Wikia staff member, rather) created a table with a defined class from their Common.css. Here's what their Common.css says:

/*** Reach portal ***/ .reachbg { background: url(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/8/8b/ReachBG.jpg) no-repeat center top !important; } .reachbg a { color: #0099D9 !important; }
 * Then, on the table, they had.
 * For your wiki, you can just randomly define a class in Common.css, ".pagebg" or ".articlebg" or whatever you like, and set a background (using the raw link, i.e. click on the image on the file page and copy the URL). Then, on any page where you want this background, you can make a table with .  The 888th Avatar   (talk)  00:35, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

It works with the reach one but not my image, what do I do?--Andrew Schlieffen Executive Administrator of Modern Wikia and Valkyrie Movie Wikia 15:32, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * A link here would help. :) Remember, you need to use the raw image link (address in browser URL bar after clicking on image on file page), and it needs to be of a high enough resolution. Otherwise, it won't fill the whole table when you're using "no-repeat". The 888th Avatar   (talk)  23:41, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
