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 ?

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

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") On Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 9:28 AM, Philippe Dhont < Philippe.Dhont(a)gems-group.com&gt; wrote: _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
