Dear Rowan,
Thank you very much for you answer.
But I took a look and found several changes. We use mediawiki version 1.4.5
- The file Monobook.css doesn't exists. I think it has been replaced by
skins/monobook/main.css
- I don't know how and where to place, instructions like those in this file:
.ns-4 * #content { background : #F4F4F4; }
.ns-4 * #p-cactions li { background : #F4F4F4; }
.ns-4 * #p-cactions li a { background : #F4F4F4; }
I found some subs like #contentSub{}, #p-cactions li{} and #p-cactions li a{}.
Is it in these subs that I need to place these instructions? How?
Many thanks in advance for your kind help and have a nice day,
Proth
The ns-x are already there, as are the namespaces -
Talk:, User:,
Wikipedia: etc. Each has a number used inside the software (0 for the
"main"/"article" namespace, 1 for "talk", etc), and
these appear in the source of pages as CSS selectors. See
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Namespace for more.
Perhaps the best explanation is by example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css contains code to make everything
except articles have a blue background; >it starts by making everything blue, and then
changes "ns-0" (articles) back to
white:
#content {
background: #F8FCFF; /* a light blue */ }
.ns-0 * #content {
background: white;
}
[it goes on to do this for things like the background of the tabs at the top, so they fit
better]
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css takes a more long-winded approach, and
defines a default "sky blue"
background but then overrides it for each namespace one by one:
/* Couleur par défaut */
#content { background : #F8FCFF; } /* bleu ciel */ #p-cactions li { background : #F8FCFF;
} #p-cactions li a { background : >#F8FCFF; }
/* Couleur de fond des articles */
.ns-0 * #content { background : white; } .ns-0 * #p-cactions li { background : white; }
.ns-0 * #p-cactions li a {
background : white; }
[and so on for ns-1, ns-2, ns-3, etc]
