Manual:Interface/Stylesheets

MediaWiki:Common.css is a Cascading Style Sheet appended to the hardcoded stylesheet.

This stylesheet is appended in all, but there are similar stylesheets which only affect specific skins (see below).

Although only Monobook.css is listed on Special:Allmessages, the other skin-specific stylesheets will work nonetheless.

If  is set to true, users can customize the interface for themselves only by creating user subpages with lowercase titles (see below).

Global stylesheets won't load on special restricted pages like login or preferences, unless you enable .
