That's not the case at all. The people who write these styles are totally different from the people who write the software. We just add lots of classes (too many, IMO . . .) so that people can easily customize the appearance however they want. They're extension points for CSS. Wikipedia users have styled some of these points, and I'm sure so have Wikia users, and users of other major wikis. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
