CSS and JS customization
Help:CSS and JS customization - everything about custom CSS/JS: customization policy, file load order, etc.

DX wiki was created before July 2014, this might affect CCS/JS file names and load order.

Test all CSS/JS changes in your personal CSS/JS before updating global styles.

Personal - any user can edit their personal CSS/JS:
 * Special:MyPage/common.css
 * Special:MyPage/common.js - personal JS must be enabled in user preferences first

Global CSS and JS - applies to the entire wiki, can be edited by Admins only:
 * CSS:
 * Theme Designer
 * MediaWiki:Wikia.css
 * MediaWiki:Common.css - should ideally be grafted onto Wikia.css and then blanked, as suggested here. It's loaded before Wikia.css and contains global styles + Monobook-specific styles. Now that Monobook is gone, global styles are split between Wikia.css and Common.css, which may be confusing.
 * Additional CSS files - they are imported into Common.css or Wikia.css in order to be loaded.
 * MediaWiki:Mainpage.css - additional CSS for the wiki's main page
 * MediaWiki:Instant Expert.css - additional CSS for the Deus Ex Instant Expert page
 * MediaWiki:PAD.css - ??? old files used during MD marketing campaign ???
 * JS:
 * MediaWiki:ImportJS - an easy way to import scripts - both local and from Dev Wiki. Changes do not need review/approval by Fandom, allowing the immediate addition or removal of a community's JavaScript imports.
 * MediaWiki:Common.js - any edits to this file go through a review/approval process
 * MediaWiki:Wikia.js - not used in DX wiki
 * See also Help:CSS and JS pages

Useful URL parameters

 * loads the page with uncompressed/unminified CSS + JavaScript
 * loads the mobile version of the page
 * Temporarily disable custom CSS/JS - doesn't work in UCP yet, as of December 2020

Templates
Templates can be written in two ways:
 * 1) Using wiki markup and parser functions.
 * 2) Using Lua. Lua-based templates look like  . The actual Lua code of these templates is on the Module:TemplateName pages.
