Do you mean we should import some of Wikipedia's styles to the default software? Maybe, but which ones? It doesn't make sense to import all of them. Sometimes Wikipedia deliberately wants to be different than we want the default to look.
Sometimes CSS/JS that originates on Wikipedia *does* make it back into the software when it's deemed "generally useful" and lots of sites are copying it anyway. .
wikitable and the importScript() function come to mind.
If we think these particular styles for AllPages are generally useful, I'm fine with bringing them upstream.
