Information pages should have a slightly different design

Wiki information pages and other "metawiki" content pages should have a slighly different design, say, a lightgrey backgroud, to discourage people who accidentaly stumble upon one thinking it is a wiki article. This is just a suggestion, not a strongly held opinion or anything like that. Kemik0297 (talk) 18:07, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good idea. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 18:27, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you use the MonoBook skin, rather than the default Vector-2022, it already does this. The stylesheet for MonoBook includes these rules:
div#content,
div#p-cactions li a:hover,
div#p-cactions li.selected a,
div#content div.thumb {
  background-color: #F8FCFF;
}
.ns-0 div#content,
.ns-0 div#p-cactions li a:hover,
.ns-0 div#p-cactions li.selected a,
.ns-0 div#content div.thumb {
  background-color: white;
}
which essentially says "Set the background colour for all pages to #F8FCFF. If the page is in article space, override this and set the background colour to white." The colour #F8FCFF is  , a very pale blue. Some other Wikipedias use other colours, such as French Wikipedia, which sets the background for talk pages (namespace 1) to #FFE,  , a light yellow. But this is really a matter for WP:VPR. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:50, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
