Hi, everybody, I'm an administrator in Chinese Wikipedia - User:Mountain.
I have a request: Who can help us to change the default font size on Chinese Wikipedia.
Now the default font size on Chinese Wikipedia is too small, many users required us to change it. we can change the default css to that:
body, #globalWrapper { font-size:11pt }
It looks better for most users.
Thanks for your help.

The font size is also one or two steps too small on the English Wikipedia as well (not to mention Meta and Wikibooks). I have pretty good eyesight and I had to increase the font size in my browser - never had to do that before. Wikipedis must be much harder to read for people with poor vision (esp for those who need reading glasses).
Developers: Please increase the default font size. And while you are at it, please also bring back the old link colors - that light blue/gray is very hard to read (links should stand out a bit, not blend into the background!).

I have more problems with the lack of underlining of links than their colour, as such. It could be a little bit stronger blue, yes.

Probably, you are right. But please, stop changing monobook - I start getting used to it; instead create monobook2 and apply changes to the new style.
I'm in the same opinion as Ralesk and Daniel. The font is a little small and I actually quite liked the old link colors too. Although I like the new design, I'd be happy to have back the old font size and link colors. In fact I also used to like that the default font was "Times New Roman", a font of which I'm kind of a fan of, hehe... but that might be merely subjective and too much to ask for. Just wanted to let you know that there are more than 2 who liked the old colors and sizes.

You can override some of the things yourself, visit http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_styles
However, there are some issues which are more usability than than vanity -- which these are, I guess I have to let the admins decide.

Please don't use this rule as it would prevent the entire skin from scaling with the user's browser font size.
I'd propose something like #globalWrapper { font-size:130%; } instead.

Whatever the specific percentage, I agree that the font size should be relative.

Of course only in Explorer.
But yea, the percentage (or em-based sizing) can help (unless applied to elements that can often nest, such as td :P)
