Jean-Marc, you have to use http://handleiding.wikiation.nl/MediaWiki:Common.css . That is where it is defined. It is no standard MW feature. There is no LocalSettings involved.

The Common.css is only the part where you define the background color depending on the category you use. I.e. you specify that .cat-Timecode-future results in a background: #fff7e7

That part is entirely clear to me, I use Common.css extensively.

But in my mediawiki installation (1.13.3, and neither on mediawiki.org which uses 1.16alpha), there are no cat-[category name] classes being output. I see a ns-xxx and a page-yyy part in the body class, but no cat-zzz part. That is what confuses me.

Jean-Marc, I am not an developer myself, so I checked with my developer. There was indeed a patch needed to make this call work. That is standard for Wikibox Blue hosting, but not for MediaWiki.

This patch could be Open Source. I have started a discussion about making my complete software Open Source. The result was there could be abuse, and the Open Source licence does not protect me. I still have to go to court when there is an abuse. That I can not affort.

Separate propriety extension "catfeed" is made for Open Source in SVN, but there seems to be much delay. I do not know why, and to be honest, I do not want to investigate in it.

So sorry Jean-Marc, the information I gave you in an earlier stage was not complete.

And sorry I can not help you futher.

With regards,

Bernard
