[Mediawiki-l] Media-Wiki: using classes as defined in Wikipedia in my own media-wiki project

[Wolfgang Zsalcsik]

Hi folks,

I am using Media-Wiki for a small "Intranet" (info-pages)

When using templates (especially infoboxes), 
I would like to format them using classes.

Reading both, the Media-Wiki and the Wikipedia documentation back
and forth, I could not find, where they are defined. 
(example: class="infobox" at the beginning of almost all 
          Wikipedia infobox-typed templates)
My assumption was to find them in the main.css or monobook.css,
but this was not the case.

My questions:
- where are/shall these classes be defined?
- is it allowed to just get/copy them from Wikipedia?

I am grateful for every helpful reply,
regards
Wolfgang
