Is there any way someone could get to work? --TheLazyPanda (talk) 01:47, 19 Jan 2010 (UTC)

Fix the category block

As stated on the Project:Necessary Features#Bugs_needed_to_fix, it is worth removing the height property from .catlinks block which causes the text to go out of bounds if there are more categories than can fit on one line.

As I understand it, common.css can only add new styles, so here is a simple code that should work:

Common.css (this code has property user-select:all)

1.  
2.  
3.  

.catlinks { height: auto; }

This problem becomes most noticeable when the hidden categories mode is enabled.

Personally, I would like to suggest also adding the border-radius: 4px; property, but whether to add this or not is up to you. --Max34 (talk) 00:45, 18 June 2024 (PDT)

Purple links

This change isn't going to stay, I hope? Cvoxalury (talk) 16:31, 19 June 2024 (PDT)

They were purple before, just darker. I'm currently trying to make text more readable; I've removed it for now. PabloS (talk) 16:44, 19 June 2024 (PDT)

External ones were, but for a brief time when I wrote that, the in-wiki ones were purple, at least on my end. Anyway, thanks, sorry for bothering you. Cvoxalury (talk) 16:45, 19 June 2024 (PDT)

.mw-highlight should have an invert and hue rotate filter applied.

Syntax highlighting isn't currently inverted and hue rotated in some contexts, such as on the documentation page for {{CodeBlock}}. ―Pee (talk) 18:27, 19 June 2024 (PDT)

Difference table

When I was working on my extension, I tried fixing the diff table (the one that appears when you click on the “Show changes” button when editing or the one when you compare versions of a page).

I don’t pretend that this will be added, but I would like to write this code here in case someone needs it.

Please keep light background for code/source boxes

With the 'dark theme' the text becomes unpleasantly sharper and is harder to follow. The previous version was quite fine.

I mean things like

things like "" this ""
