If you're working on wiki CSS, you will need a lot more specific selectors.

h1, p, li, etc. are all general selectors. You will need to open your browser's element inspector to be able to identify ones the wiki recognises. For example, article title h1's are represented by '.wikia-page-header .header-column h1'. This contains classes, the phrases marked with periods preceding them. The more classes in a selector, the more specific it is. This way, you will be able to accurately style specific elements.

Also, for your top tier selector, it is 'body.mediawiki'. You can change the wiki's wrapper background and font from it.

I recommend you use Firefox from now on, since it has the most efficient developer console for coding.
