Comments on stuff. :-)
Actually, this is for our comments to you. =) Welcome! -- Sy / (talk) 08:36, 27 Apr 2005 (EDT)
- I'm going to enable image uploading sometime soon.. it appears that the need is there. Also, it's very nice that you're getting into the swing of things.. =) -- Sy / (talk) 18:17, 3 May 2005 (EDT)
- Will do, trying to get myself reorganized. :-) -- dl33t::talk 20:06, 14 May 2005 (EDT)
Maybe move the t-shirt stuff to wish list? It should really have a page all its own. -- Sy / (talk) 19:25, 14 May 2005 (EDT)
- Yeah, maybe. Not sure if wish list is the right spot though. I'll leave it here for a few days yet, and see what happens on the issues front. -- dl33t::talk 20:06, 14 May 2005 (EDT)

CSS & Site Presentation
- Is there a way to add css in a post? I've been fiddling in the Sandbox, but it looks like MediaWiki is stripping style params out of html tags.
- I'd like to be able to update or modify the CSS for div#bodyContent for some pages. Alternatively, create a div or table whose style I can specify.
- As an example, I'd like to be able to set a background for my user page.
- Is it a good idea? If so, do we need to generate some guidelines?
--- dl33t::talk
- I did a smidge of searching through http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ and the handbook but I could find no reference to such magic as user-defined CSS. I'm going to say that almost certainly there is no way in MediaWiki to add user-created CSS', probably for security and consistancy reasons. User-defined div.. that I don't know for sure either. I wonder if tabling would have functionality like adding background images.. hrm. -- Sy / (talk) 09:01, 29 Apr 2005 (EDT)

- I take it you have this wrapped up. I remember seeing some notes which allow a user to make a custom css for their own subsection of the wiki. Have you played with that at all? -- Sy / (talk) 08:21, 6 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- Not yet, very difficult finding time to do much of anything lately. :( If I remember correctly, I think the CSS can be set in span tags.
