First of all, editing CSS files can be very, very,
frustrating. Doing this
within Mediawiki even more so.
Some tips (and I'd be happy to hear those of others).
1. If you edit any file in Mediawiki force your browser to do a full refresh
(Shift F5 IE I think, Cmd-R on Mac Firefox). Or turn off local caching while
you're testing.
2. If you're on a Mac (I don't know the equivalent on a PC but I'm sure
there's something) get a copy of CSSEdit from Macrabbit and read the
instructions. Your CSS world will change.
3. Use Firefox with the Firebug plug in (free). This is about 60% as good as
CSSEdit for just examining what's going on and I think this will work on PC.
4. I actually gave up (for testing purposes) editing CSS via mediawiki.
Instead I did what you have done and edited a copy of the skin files until I
had what I wanted and then uploaded the changes and replaced the skin files
back to normal.
Hope some of that helps.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Edit the CSS for the skin in question (Mediawiki:skinname.css) and
alter what it does for the class "editsection".
"#editsection.float:right" or something like that.
I noticed the editsection there, earlier but changes were not visible in
IE or FF. Since your answer sounded like "there is no other answer, this
is it" I copied the class further up to the top of main.css: in the
content styles section of the file. And there it worked.
Thank you
Ruud
