How to change font size and colour in Mediawiki navigation sidebar and footer?

Question

My website was developed using Mediawiki and I have the following question:

How do I change the font size and font colour in the navigation sidebar and footer?

I am using the vector skin and having difficulties finding the correct way to make these changes.

Answer 1

For the navigation:

search in your css to

div#mw-panel div.portal div.body ul li a {
    color: #0645AD;
}
div#mw-panel div.portal div.body ul li a:visited {
    color: #0B0080;
}

and change it to

div#mw-panel div.portal div.body ul li a {
    font-size:16px;
    color: #008000;
}
div#mw-panel div.portal div.body ul li a:visited {
    color: #A0600B;
}

use this when you want the same color for a link and visited link

div#mw-panel div.portal div.body ul li a, a:visited {
    font-size:16px;
    color: #008000;
}

or simple add a new line with this code

#mw-panel .portal a, #mw-panel .portal a:visited {
    font-size:16px!important;
    color: red!important;
}

For the Footer

add new line with this code

div#footer ul li{
    font-size:16px!important;
    color:black!important;
}

div#footer ul li a,div#footer ul li a:visited {
    color: orange!important;
}

}
