Inaccessible means blank pages. While trying to access the wiki in FireFox, I get a blank
page - not even an error message. In IE8 I receive the message " The website cannot
display the page".
Hence, I can't undo the changes I did to MediaWiki:commmon.css either. This combined
with your answer make me believe that the error is something else than the common.css.
After spending some hours on it yesterday, I decided to order a full backup of the wiki
database and revert to the state of the day before. (No serious losses except from the
time spent on this issues...)
Thanks a lot for your answer!

I have set up a small MediaWiki site some months ago.
I wanted to change the appearance of tables, and did the following:
From the english Wikipedia, I opened the page with the common style sheet
(MediaWiki:Common.css), copied the content and pasted it into the corresponding page in
"my" MediaWiki installation. However, after some minutes the entire site
suddenly became completely inaccessible!
Of course, I suspect the change of Common.css. But I might certainly have done other
unintended changes.
My questions:
1) Any proposals on how I can get access to the wiki again?
2) If not, are there any way I can "undo" the changes to Common.css when I
have no access to the Wiki? (The wiki is installed on a webhotel (
http://www.one.com). I
have no shell access, but access via FTP and an administration panel for MySql.
Hoping for an answer...

What do you mean by inaccessible?
A bad CSS change couldn't for instance produce a blank page. It can eg.
make you lose the styles, but nothing too dramatic.
The easiest way to undo your change is to disable CSS in your browser
and revert that page. The wiki will look "funny" without CSS but is
completely usable.
