Hi! I am in the process of importing templates into pms. Yet we appear to have no "infobox bordered" class in our monobook. Is there any standard source I can get it from? Also, how do I edit the monobook.css file? The "system messages" special page does not show it, it only shows a comment to it. Do I just add stuff there? Berto

Hi Berto, The largest Wikipedia editions tend to have heavily modified monobook.css and common.css stylesheets that you can choose from. (Common.css applies to all skins, not just the Monobook skin.) You probably won't need most of any of these stylesheets for the time being, though. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css> <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css> <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css> <http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css> <http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css> <http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css> <http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css> In Special:Allmessages, you can click on the link under the "Name" column. If you have admin privileges, you can then click "edit" to add the CSS code, and your new code will appear in place of that comment at Special:Allmessages. -- Minh Nguyen <mxn(a)zoomtown.com> AIM: trycom2000; Jabber: mxn(a)myjabber.net; Blog: http://mxn.f2o.org/

Hi! Thanks, it worked. Only I can't seem to be able to edit common.css from the "system messages", so I temporarily put the changes into monobook. It works, but it would be better to have these classes where all the other editions have them. How do I transfer them to common.css?

You can edit common.css by going to <http://pms.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css>. -- Minh Nguyen <mxn(a)zoomtown.com> AIM: trycom2000; Jabber: mxn(a)myjabber.net; Blog: http://mxn.f2o.org/

One more problem... when I copy the infobox to make the localisation I get this... http://pms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_lenga Why? I'd like to keep the english template format, because it looks very efficient, but here must be something I did not import... Bèrto

Hi!

the "class" infobox bordered should be somewhere in the css if I understand well.

Yes, I put it in the monobook.css, because I cannot find access to common.css Template:Infobox now works well, it's only infobox language that still misbehaves. Bèrto

Simply copy and paste the whole page to pms ... I cannot do that not being an admin. I did it on nap.wikipedia and it worked out well (I did not copy all missing templates by now) Just have a look at the recent changes on Nap.wikipedia Ciao, Sabine ___________________________________ Yahoo!

Hi Berto, start with this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css it is not present on pms wikipedia - I tried to create the same template on nap wikipedia - and this is what I found was missing there as well. then when reloading the Template: Infobox Lenga you will find that another template is missing. I don't have time to follow this now - I can have a look at it tomorrow morning. Ciao, Sabine Berto schrieb:

Hi Bèrto, I haven't taken a look at the pms: copy of Infobox Language, but I spent a whole day importing that into the Vietnamese Wikipedia. That template actually embeds a slew of helper templates (scroll down in the edit page), so the problem is probably that you haven't imported all of those templates (and translated them...) as well. -- Minh Nguyen <mxn(a)zoomtown.com> AIM: trycom2000; Jabber: mxn(a)myjabber.net; Blog: http://mxn.f2o.org/
