Re: [MediaWiki-l] Is namespace specific CSS possible?

Hello, I think so. I think you can customize your MediaWiki:Common.css page to include different stylings for different namespaces. Don't quote me on that though - but I think it's possible. --Amanda On Wednesday, August 2, 2017, 12:56 PM, Evans, Richard K. (GRC-H000)

Hi, Would you consider either https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs  and/or https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Moderation? Both of these extensions might do what you want. If not, you'll have to be a little more specific about what you're looking for. --Amanda On Thursday, August

Hi, That's very interesting indeed. I would recommend trying to upgrade to 1.28 or 1.29 MediaWiki (the two latest versions). 1.27 will no longer be supported once 1.30 is released at the end of this year, and therefore bug fixes for issues like this will be seriously delayed. However, looking

I do believe that it is possible to auto-promote users to certain groups after certain conditions are met - however I’m not positive on the code required for this. I know that it is possible because the English Wikipedia auto-promotes accounts to “extended confirmed user” after the account has
