Forum:Attention sysop

You may have noticed that the wikipedia articles that you are porting here sometimes look a bit wonky. For example Thomas Aquinas, the infobox is is not flush right like in WP.


 * We figured this out at Genealogy wikia. The problem is that your cascading style sheet does not have the styles that WP's does, so naturally you have none of the formating niceties that WP has.  To solve, what you do is copy the key table styles from WP's common.css to your common.css.  Any sysop can copy this over.  Just copy genealogy:mediawiki:Common.css to your Mediawiki:Common.css.  Press Cntl-F5 (or if you are not using Internet Explorer, the corresponding command as instructed at the top of the the Common.css page).  Go back to Tom acquinas article and viola, the article appears as it should.


 * Individuals can have the benefit of this by copying the common.css file to their User:Username/monobook.css page.


 * I don't think you have any hide/show navbox's in use, but if you do, you will also need to do the same for Common.js. Without this code, the hide/show button will not appear on those collapsible boxes.   ~  Ph l o x   07:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
