    wfLoadExtension( 'TemplateStyles' );
    wfLoadExtension( 'TemplateStylesExtender' );
    
  • Configure as required.
  •   Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration edit

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
$wgTemplateStylesExtenderEnableUnscopingSupport Flag to enable unscoping of CSS by users with editinterface permissions true false

Note CSS Vars edit

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>

Unscoping of CSS edit

Example: <templatestyles src="Foo/style.css" wrapclass="mediawiki" /> results in the CSS being scoped to .mediawiki instead of .mw-parser-output.

Including such a call in a page essentially limits editing to users with the editinterface right. You can alternatively include a call to a template that includes the styles.
