Forum:Automatic Scrolling Text

Hello, I am wondering if it is currently possible for a wiki to implement automatic scrolling texts across a page. I understand that CSS Marquee is much more preferred than HTML Marquee, but I am unsure if Fandom currently supports it. If not, what alternatives are there for me to look into? From this website [1], I found this, which works on CSS.

 * Hello and apologies for the delay. These forums aren't really used much so they don't get checked very often. In the future, you may want to use the Discussions feature instead. If you are talking about a specific package that goes by the name "CSS Marquee" or "HTML Marquee", then no. I don't think either are supported. However, I assume that you are talking about the general idea of scrolling text rather than a specific package or library by that name.

With regards to HTML marquees, no. MediaWiki, the core software, does not support the marquee tag and therefore neither does Fandom. If you want to know which HTML tags are supported, see Help:HTML. As for CSS, users cannot place stylesheets in page content. On-page CSS is limited to inline CSS; which I don't think could be used to make a marquee. However, if you are the admin of a wiki, you can use the wiki's custom CSS page(s) which serves as a stylesheet for the wiki. For more information on wiki CSS, see Help:Community_CSS_and_JS. If you are not an admin on the wiki, then you cannot create a marquee that works for other viewers. However, you can use your personal CSS to create one that works just for you. For more information on personal CSS, see Help:Personal_CSS_and_JS.
