[Mediawiki-l] wikitables

Mon Jun 5 14:41:59 UTC 2006

I went to my wiki and manually went to MediaWiki:Common.css and the page
didn't exit.
I went into edit mode and pasted exactly what you had on your link below
it is pasted between the lines of equal signs
I saved the page and went to a temp page and tried the multiplication
table and didn't get any style with it, just a plain table with no
borders or shades of grey.
I tried it with and without the beginning */ and ending /* that you had
in your box on that page.
Basically, below between the equal lines is exactly what I pasted when I
went into edit mode.
You have more than that on your page though, so I did try once and
viewed your source and copied all of that into mine and I got nothing.
The test showed up without any borders either.

Visit MediaWiki:Common.css in your wiki.  Make the page if it doesn't
exist.  Copy the css content from my page into yours.  Then everything
should Just Work (tm).

The "thisneverworks" entry is required due to some wierd issue that I
can't comprehend.  =)
