Q: 

mediawiki common css

Hi, I installed Mediawiki on our web server and at the moment the design is lacking a bit. I am not satisfied with the layout of my tables. In short they are ugly.

I took a look a wikipedia tables and they are using the class="wikitable" in the table declaration. After some research I found the page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css were code is provided to improve the layout. You have to create a new page in your wiki installation and add the provided CSS-Code and save it. After reloading and emptying the Cache of your browser (SHIFT + Reload-Button for FF) you should be able to use class="wikitable" in your table definitions. It is not working for me. Does anyone know what I missed?

regards, Usurper

The "Age table" of this URL is an example how I want my tables to look like. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_%28information%29If you click on edit you only see this in the table declaration:{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" ...no style=" border:1px solid gray;" definition - just class="wikitable" and everything is set.

The wiki is installed on our intranet. I cannot provide a link. Sorry.

Look at the HTML source of your wiki pages to see if these pages are loaded at all (note that Common.js is called from ?title=-&action=raw&smaxage=0&gen=js "site js" URL. If they are called, check the content inside.
