That is actually I normal page in your wiki and not a file.

Right - you need to search for exactly "MediaWiki:Common.css"
The file common.css is in the namespace MediaWiki, which is not searched by default. (Although you can change that in "my preferences")

Thanks for the reply and the links! I searched on my wiki server for common.css or Common.css and *css I found a lot of css files but no common.css. Thanks, Ph.

Philippe,
You can find that file by searching for it on your wiki. Here are three links which explain in more detail:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Stylesheets http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces
The mediawiki.org site has very good documentation. There is also a very good book "MediaWiki: The Definitive Guide" available from oreilly.com.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Maybe a stupid question but where can I find MediaWiki:Common.css ? Thanks.

Hi, I want to use tables in mediawiki and the code that i use works but
there is no layout.
As a test, this should make a nice viewing table (example from a learning
site):
{| class="prettytable" width="40%" ! Planten || Dieren |- | Gras || Koe |- | Eucalyptus || Koala |}
But I get just the text and no graphical table and looks in my wiki just
like this:
Planten Dieren Gras
Koe Eucalyptus Koala
Is there something i forgot ?
Yes, the part 'class="prettytable"' results in the table getting a CSS class assigned to it. It is up to you to supply the styling needed (usually through the Mediawiki:Common.css page, but you could also use one of the skin specific css pages)
