Hi SgtNG. I saw your request about using different background images on specific pages, and I'm responding to you here.

The code you used on Wikia.css is correct, except for one thing. In this case, you'll need to add  to the end of the line (specifically, just to the left of the semicolon) to force the code to work.

Once it starts working, if you have a somewhat large screen, you'll notice that the image is covered by the content area. (I tested it on my sandbox wiki to confirm.) This is because the standard background image (File:Wiki-background) is split and works with the site's underlying code in such a way that the same area of the background image stays visible on either side as long as the viewer's resolution is wider than 1030 pixels. But using this CSS to display a different background image loses the compatibility with the page's fluid width.

If it's possible, the best way to ensure that all visitors actually see part of the background image is to make the sides of the image as wide as possible, and make the black/empty middle area 1030 pixels wide, since the page's content area will never be narrower than 1030 pixels. Hope that helps.
