Crucible Codex Styles Guide

This page is a working reference for the full Codex stylesheet.

It is meant to show the wrappers, navigation blocks, subsite skins, and reusable content components that currently exist in the CSS, including the newer canonical codex-* component names and the older legacy aliases that still render.

Use the canonical patterns for all new pages. Legacy names are documented here so older pages remain understandable.

Canonical Page Pattern

For all new subsite pages, use this general structure:

{{HeaderTemplate}}
<div class="codex-page codex-page--subsite">

= Page Title =

Page content here.

{{NavTemplate}}
</div>

For nav templates, use this general structure:

<includeonly>
<div class="codex-navbox codex-navbox--subsite">
<strong class="codex-nav-title">Subsite Codex</strong>
[[Subsite:Home|Home]] • [[Subsite:Character Creation|Character Creation]]
</div>
</includeonly>

Shared Foundation

These styles affect the whole wiki, not just one subsite.

Global Page Skin

The site-wide body, headings, links, forms, tables, infoboxes, TOC, code blocks, and images all have a shared dark Codex treatment.

Reusable selectors documented in CSS include:

html, body, .mw-page-container, .vector-body
.mw-body
#firstHeading, .mw-first-heading, .mw-parser-output h1-h6
.vector-pinned-container, .vector-column-start, #mw-panel, .vector-menu, .vector-user-links
.vector-header-container, .vector-header, .mw-header, .vector-page-toolbar, .vector-sticky-header, .vector-page-titlebar
.vector-search-box, .vector-search-box-vue, .vector-typeahead-search-container, #searchInput
.wikitable, .infobox, .portable-infobox
#toc, .toc, .catlinks
pre, code
.thumb, .thumbinner, .mw-file-element, .floatright, .floatleft
.mw-editsection and related section-edit selectors are hidden globally

Shared Banner

<div class="codex-banner">
[[File:Banner.jpg|900px]]
</div>

Use:

codex-banner for a standard centered banner
codex-header for shared header wrappers where needed

Shared Page Wrapper

This is the default shared codex-page wrapper. It gives the page its centered panel, padding, line spacing, rounded corners, and drop-shadow.

<div class="codex-page">
Your page content here.
</div>
