:Additionally, we need to set up a policy (this is more like something we'll put up in community issues) about keeping templates, tables, etc. skin neutral.  For instance, we need to define properties within specialized classes, otherwise skins like mine end up with a lot of contrasting colors of both extremes (dark blue on black, white on white, etc.).  Although this increases the amount of data stored in each skin, it does have some reduction in data otherwise (substing a template with skin neutral properties will result in less characters being saved).  I don't see it as a problem, but I'm not running the server nor do I have experience with MediaWiki.  What do you think?  --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 06:33, 12 November 2007 (CST)

:: We already have a semi-official policy on this, and I've been moving the CSS out of templates wherever I see it in the wrong place. What you've done with the thankyou template isn't right though. You should add the class, and then move the CSS to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], or better yet, notify me and I'll do it. --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|talk]]) 10:55, 12 November 2007 (CST)

:::Yeah I know where the css is supposed to go, just I didn't know if I was allowed to edit it or whatever.  Additionally, if it's redefines in the skin, will it override common.css?  'Cuz if it doesn't, that's part of the problem.  --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 15:11, 12 November 2007 (CST)
