I am sorry to be so blunt, but this is the 35th message on this
thread, and apart from Elisabeth unfortunately aborted attempts, there
has been nothing done on the matter.

Regardless of civility, wikilove and all other things, and keeping in
mind that I am ok with the fact that people may want to "customize"
their projects' css, I don't see why we're even discussing this
particular "customization".

Wikibooks is a Wikimedia project, powered by Mediawiki and there's
nothing else to it. These mentions have to come back, there's no
discussion to be had.

Had I the powers to make myself an admin on that wiki, I would simply
restore this and be done with it, thing is, I can't. If Ramir wants a
policy, well, let's make this a precedent and hence a policy. The fact
that Wikimedia hosted projects are Wikimedia hosted projects and
powered by Mediawiki is a fact, not something up for vote or
consensus, one man's or many people's appreciation. Please, make me an
admin on that wiki and I'll do the stuff.

Geez.

Best,

Delphine
