MediaWiki:Common.css: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:48, 15 September 2026

/*
 * HCF theme — legacy content patch
 *
 * Paste this into MediaWiki:Common.css.
 *
 * WHAT IT FIXES
 * Boxes, infoboxes and tables whose background colour is hardcoded in wikitext
 * or in a template — style="background:#fffbe6" and similar. The dark theme
 * makes body text light, but it cannot change a background that is written
 * into the page, so those boxes end up light text on a light fill.
 *
 * This forces dark, readable text inside any element that carries its own
 * inline background, and restores link colours that suit a light fill.
 *
 * THIS IS A STOPGAP
 * The proper fix is to add class="notheme" to those templates — that is
 * MediaWiki's official opt-out and the skin honours it correctly. Once every
 * template has it, you can delete this file. Until then this keeps the wiki
 * readable without editing a single page.
