Edit request
Please replace  with , as File:PD-icon-faded.png has been moved to Commons and no longer exists locally, causing the watermark to fail to display in the background of pages in the help namespace (example). Thanks. GreenComputer (talk) 00:22, 8 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Done. &mdash;user: Hasley 02:23, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Code direction
Hello. Codes in rtl languages like Persian are broken because the right-to-left structure is applied to them. By adding this command, you can prevent the codes from being right-aligned so that their readability is not lost: pre, code { direction: ltr } Thanks.

 * The above code won’t work. ResourceLoader “helps” by flipping directions in right-to-left languages, so the above code will be transformed into  if the user interface language is RTL. This function can be disabled, luckily:   —Tacsipacsi (talk) 11:27, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Remove obsolete extension styles
Please remove: It appears to have been added for a one-off joke edit in 2012, and is no longer useful. * Pppery * it has begun 23:14, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * any objections to removal? You added this in Special:Diff/524367 --DannyS712 (talk) 20:18, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅, --Krinkle (talk) 20:59, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

sideBox
edit request The styles for sideBox are entirely unused in a meaningful sense though they've been in this CSS since 2006. Why are they in here? I think they should be removed. (In today's world, they would have been TemplateStyles'd.) That's:

wordcloud
Like the above sideBox styles, the nearby "wordcloud" styles are also not meaningfully used and should be removed (as they are similarly ancient as well).

 * These classes are added by the code review extension, see - not sure if that changes the considerations --DannyS712 (talk) 01:19, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks (and for the above edit request fulfillment), was wondering what they were doing there (especially with that naming which is usually indicative of an extension or core; I looked in core). I think we can still remove the below as essentially duplicating the styles in that sheet:


 * Leaving just the below as a question mark:


 * I'd say we should probably remove the font-size on size-9 also since the 0.8em makes it essentially equivalent to the -10 size and I don't think that's the intent (though with our h5/h4 styling in Vector...). The letter-spacing on the -size-9 seems pretty close to the style in that sheet also just eyeballing it, so maybe remove that. Then all we have left is:


 * I can personally take that or leave it, but I think I'd rather take it out, especially since no-one seems to be testing these still (they were added years ago). If it is indeed valuable, someone should upstream it. --Izno (talk) 02:19, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The use of the code review extension was (mostly, from what I understand) before my time, so I'll leave this for someone who understands the underlying content being displayed DannyS712 (talk) 02:34, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Add style for
Add the following style to MediaWiki:Gadget-site.css for consistency: See also --Shirayuki (talk) 22:53, 16 October 2020 (UTC)


 * All of the styling for that template really should be moved into TemplateStyles rather than adding yet more bloat to every page. I'd rather we didn't do this. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 17:07, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
