Configuration

Key	Description	Example	Default
$wgTemplateStylesExtenderEnablePrefersColorScheme	Flag to enable @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark/light) media queries	false	true
$wgTemplateStylesExtenderEnableCssVars	Flag to enable css vars	false	true

Note CSS Vars

Currently using :root selectors won't work due to template styles prepending .mw-parser-output.

One possible fix is to wrap the entire content into a `div` element and adding the declarations to this, e.g.

div#content-wrap {
   --padding: 10px
}

.content {
   padding: var( --padding )
}

Wikitext

<div id="content-wrap">
   <div class=".content">
      The WikiText...
   </div>
</div>
