MediaWiki talk:Vector.css

Difference between Vector.css and Common.css

Vector.css should contain elements directly pertaining to the Vector skin. All extras, style classes, the Curse footer, etc. needs to be in Common.css. Please do NOT make changes to the Vector.css that have not been discussed here. -- Wynthyst talk 16:49, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

As I mentioned in the Community Portal, styles for the wiki's current appearance (which is a modified Vector skin) were disbursed between both css files. If you Curse folks want to set things up competently, please do so. —Vinifera7 (talk) 16:56, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Furthermore, was does it actually mean to say that "Vector.css should only contain elements directly pertaining to the Vector skin," when no other skin is available to be selected? If someone wanted to add or modify some styles, how can they determine which css file it goes in? —Vinifera7 (talk) 17:07, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Ok, if it's simply to apply a style to say a template... like infoboxes and nav boxes, or to determine text color based on rarity/quality, those are all NON-skin element things. If it's to add style to something that is required by a specific MediaWiki extension, it's a NON-skin item. If it's to create alternate table styles to be used for different purposes than the basic wikitable, it's a NON-skin item. And lastly, if it's related to Curse branding, it's a NON-skin item. If someone is looking to make changes to actual skin elements, they can use Firebug or other css readers to inspect the element. If they have the know how to change the css, they should have the know-how to identify what is a skin element and what isn't. Good rule of thumb, if you aren't sure, ASK. Global skin changes should not be made by admins without discussion/consensus anyway. -- Wynthyst talk 17:49, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm not trying to be an ass, I just needed some extra clarification on that. —Vinifera7 (talk) 17:53, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
