I'm not 100% sure what the actual issue is with it, maybe it's to small? I know he has to use a gradient over it that doesn't relaly work very well, which is causing the issue.

My wikia actually has a slight background transparency, but it's not really notcible, I'll up it a bit if you want to look at it again :)

This'll probably break some stuff, so I'll wait until I have to some tomorrow probably to impliment it.

edit: One think we definitly need to remember is that wikia often overtakes the background on wikias for ads, I use adblock most of the time so I always see the "proper" background, but I'd need to do some testing to see how the transparency looks on that

edit 2: it definitely makes it look weird, with a weird black bar down the middle of it. Maybe we can get around this by forcing the background through css? I know that wikia gets really finicky about what you can and can't do when it comes to ads though.

edit 3: Looking at fero's wikia, it looks like you can't force the background through css, so if we make it transparent the background of the article depends on the ad. The one I was originally talking about was for league of legends, and it looked really bad; this one I'm seeing now is for hearthstone and it looks really nice actually. We'd have to look into implimenting the texture on JUST the article, and then putting a slight color in front of it for that look (unless we just left the article part of the page not transparent.)
