Brion,
Thanks for your response. I do seem to have a page called MediaWiki:Monobook.css, but I'm not using the monobook skin. When I tried the names of other skins (e.g. Nostalgia.css) no page was found (we're using the standard skin). Is this something specific to monobook? How do I create a page for a different skin? Isn't there a way to add styles that apply to *all* skins without changing the common.css file directly? What am I missing?
Cheers, Matt

page I need to create and are there any examples? If not, is there
another
way to add styles cleanly without modifying the system stylesheets?
MediaWiki:Monobook.css, etc. One for each skin.

[[MediaWiki:<skinname>.css]]
It's possible that Nostalgia doesn't include one. Check the source.

No, you'd have to change the centrally-included CSS files.
