Forum:Can I force my article to use only my personal css

I would like my article to use a black background.

I know how to write a personal css to do this but then it will look strange to everyone else.

Is there a way to force my article to use my personal css (or some other external css) even when viewed by others?

Can I put the css into the article itself?

(I need to be able to change link colors too. Not just background color)

 * Nope. You can add a section to the wiki-wide CSS to make it only affect that one page, if you'd like. But if you're not an administrator, you can't change the CSS on a page (as far as I know).


 * You can use CSS inside an article, but you can't prevent people from removing or editing it (unless you protect the whole page).
 * When you use  in a tag like   you are using in-line CSS that should override outer CSS classes or .css file CSS.
 * To put stuff in a black background (and light colored text to make it readable), you can do something like this:

 ...rest of stuff on your page...
 * You might have guessed this. CSS isn't just stuff in MediaWiki:Common.css (not used in most Wikia wikis), MediaWiki:Wikia.css, and Special:MyPage/wikia.css. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 21 Mar 2011 6:42 PM Pacific
