I'm sorry if my words were a bit ambiguous. I guess there's a little misunderstanding to what each of us meant with "CSS". FullPageWidth.css is still css to me, so that's what I mean with "Additional CSS needs to be added to 'style' the page where the verbatim is added." Otherwise adding verbatim tags alone won't work.

But since additional CSS is required to make it work, the user also need to add CSS. The problem is, only admins can add and modify MediaWiki pages. No one else can create any additional stylesheet pages. For example, I can't create a MediaWiki:Test.css page on your wiki.

In the end it doesn't matter much whether you update MediaWiki:Wikia.css (through Special:CSS) or create an additional stylesheet, both require admins to accomplish. The difference is that in the latter case verbatim tags need to be added to articles, whereas in the former there's no need for that.
