General edit

  • Look at the source (i.e. click edit) of interesting/useful templates, syntax, styled text, etc. You will learn a lot about Wikipedia this way.

common.css edit

  • Make links to your own user page show up in orange (or another color that suits you) to quickly identify your own posts on talk pages, your own edits on page histories, etc.:
#bodyContent a[title="User:YOUR_NAME"] { background-color: #ff7700; color: #ffffff; }
(Copied from Wikipedia:Signatures#Appearance and color)
#siteNotice { display: none; }
.qxz-ads { display: none; }
