[Mediawiki-l] need help with skin edit

[Paul Williams]

I would personally suggest the use of MediaWiki:Monobook.css and 
MediaWiki:Monobook.js for extra editing on the Monobook skin. You might 
well find it a bit easier to work with those files than the myriad of 
.css and .js files that come with a skin.

As for the CSS / JS, hopefully someone else on the list can assist you.
