Manual

Inspector

Inspector allows you to edit the wiki in live view without having to adjust any [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] or [[MediaWiki:Vector.css]] code. For example, if you use Ctrl+Shift+C, find pre, code, .mw-code { and you can adjust the colors of the code box above.

Device Emulation

Device Emulation is one of the best features located in Developer Tools. This specific button located on the top left of the Dev Tool window allows you to toggle any device so that you can visually see what the wiki will look like on mobile, tablet or various of other devices. It's a great way to see if tables, images or other content expand past the devices interface.
