Help:Editing Special:CSS

Editing MediaWiki:Wikia.css will soon send you to Special:CSS, a new experience for editing your wiki's CSS.

Special:CSS has a variety of new features, and if you have any feedback on them, please do send us a note via Special:Contact.

For more tips and help with editing CSS on Wikia, visit Help:CSS.

Accessing Wikia.css

An entry point to the new editing interface can be found on Admin Dashboard. Browsing to "Mediawiki:Wikia.css?action=edit" will also route you to the new interface, located at Special:CSS.

Features

A better writing experience:

• Line numbering
• Active syntax highlighting to improve readability

Active error checking ("linting"):

• As you type code, the page will let you know about any errors in the syntax that might have occurred
• An icon will appear for any line with the !important declaration
• Do note that not every error must be solved - CSS technology is ever evolving, and browsers do not all behave identically: the messages may not always require action

A sidebar of useful links:

• CSS update blog posts - each week we release notes on upcoming CSS changes that might affect your wiki's customizations, in the Technical Update blog posts
• Related help and information pages, such as the Community Central Forum Board
