Re: [Wikitech-l] Idea regarding CSS, taxoboxes, etc.

Hi. I've played around with the /User:xyz/monobook.css feature today. It's incredibly cool. Not just because I can customise the look of the site for myself, but also because it's pretty damn flexible. However, almost all formatting for infoboxes like the taxoboxes and article series boxes (ignoring for a second the question whether we still want them, with the categorisation system in place now) is in the markup for those tables themselves. It should instead be in a Wikipedia-global CSS file. So my idea would be to have a [[Wikipedia:monobook-global.css]] or something like that, which contains the CSS for these boxes, and which is also wiki-editable, so as to allow users (or at least sysops) to define new classes for new kinds of elements as they are invented. Then (a) we can keep the styling out of the table mark-up (b) users can customise these things with the same flexibility as everything else! Thoughts?
