After adding the four required familytree templates as described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Familytree I now have some odd behavior on my WHOLE Wiki in that EVERY page is centered. I don't understand how that can happen as I didn't change the CSS file in any way. How can I fix this problem?
My understanding of templates is that they are only in effect when included on a particular page. Somehow these templates have altered the functioning of all pages.

A link to your wiki would be useful, also try viewing the source of your page which may reveal more information. -Robert.

A sample page is here but at the present time I do not have the editing open to anonymous users (in fact, I wouldn't mind allowing them to view the source but I don't know how to do that):

The source code for the family tree is:
{{familytree/start|style=font-size:85%;line-height:100%;}} {{familytree | | | | GRP |~|y|~| GRM | | GRP=Ebenezer FOSTER|GRM=Almira Williams }} {{familytree | | | | | | | |)|-|-|-|v|-|-|-|v|-|-|-|v|-|-|-|v|-|-|- |.| }} {{familytree | | | MOM |y| DAD | |SIBLING1||SIBLING2||SIBLING3||SIBLING4||SIBLING5| MOM=Lyde HOLMDEN|DAD='''Leonard'''|SIBLING1=Dianna|SIBLING2=Ellen|SIBLING3=Edwi n|SIBLING4=George|SIBLING5=Pauline }} {{familytree ||,|-|-|-|+|-|-|-|.| }} {{familytree |CHILD1| |CHILD2| |CHILD3| CHILD1=Gertrude|CHILD2=Ernest|CHILD3=Lawrence }} {{familytree/end}}
It appears that the centering has reoccured. Frustratingly odd behavior and unpredictable. Now only some pages are centered, for instance those in the category:People area. I see no rhyme nor reason to this.

Try adding the following to Monobook.css
.firstHeading { text-align:left; }
Some freaky inheritance and unclosed tags might be going on. --Robert.

Nevermind -- as mysteriously as this behavior occurred, it just as mysteriously disappeared a bit later. I don't understand what made it happen in the first place, much less what made it go away. <shrug>
