Moin,
You're supposed to write:
{| class="specific-purpose"
and define the look of the table in the CSS.
Normal users can't edit the CSS.
Users can't edit [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]], but that doesn't mean all
the CSS has to go there. You could use templates (or at least one
template) to include user-editable CSS from elsewhere.
Except that you can't insert CSS into a template unless the style tag gets
explicitely enabled. (and last I checked thats f.i. not possible on meta)
In any event, whats the difference between using:
class="foo"
and a template to set foo, and using a template directly anyway?
I think we agree here, we just don't know it yet :)
If we followed
your logic then
{{red|txt=Red text}}
should be written as:
<span class="red">red text</span>
No, that is a strawman. I am neither arguing against wiki-syntax nor
against templates.
Then please don't inject arguments that aren't n the current discussion
without adding OT :)
I was arguing for templates and for wiki-syntax. CSS doesn't have anything
to do with it if I understood you correctly above :)
Best wishes,
Tels
