Hi wjmazza(a)gmail.com
Thanks for your advice. Your answer was very encouraging but it took quite a
lot more work before I could articulate the answer in my own terms. But you
were a big help.
After a lot more investigation I found the file MediaWiki:Common.css.
Entering new or modified styles in this file got included in the display of
every page. I still had to comb through the HTML file to find out what
styles were defined but having done that I knew what changes I needed to
make.
I was stumped for quite a while not being able to find .mw-headline but
eventually the penny dropped. There was no definition for .mw-headline. The
class is used to mark certain items but without a definition it is rendered
as best as is possible. It is there in case special styling is required. How
fantastic. Built-in flexibility.
So now I have used MediaWiki:Common.css to define mw-headline and change the
styling of those elements marked with that class.

.mw-headline is not defined in any CSS, if just using the default Monobook
theme unmodified
Headlines are styled using their tag name, and even then is only slightly
modified. Most headline styles are inherited from the body style in main.css
(located in /skins/monobook.css)
hope that answers your question :)

This seems like a dumb question but I can't locate
the answer from the
page
source.
In which CSS file is the styles 'mw-headline'
stored?
Thanks
