If you want to add custom visual styling, don't try to hard-code the intended visual style in the article namespace by adding lots of <code><<nowiki />span style="..."></code> code. If everybody uses their own personal style, pages can easily become (very) hard to read and edit in the source editor. It is also hard to edit a page if you don't understand how it is constructed. If you find something that doesn't look right, try to find the responsible CSS clause for it or ask an organizer or administrator to do so. If bugs in the CSS style get fixed, this will make more than one user happy.

Another way to get a special layout into articles or article sections is to use templates. If the requested [[Help:template|template]] isn't available, ask an experienced user to build one for you.
