CSS definition order

 * I created a test environment and did some testing of the css extension.
 * It seems that the styles injected on the page ( either at the element level or with the css extension ) can not be overwritten by and user means ( User:common.css or User:common.js ).
 * Are you aware of any method that can be used to isolate css attributes to their respective pages, but still allow users to customize the appearance?
 * Check out CSS test page, attributes defined on page do not get overwritten by what i've defined in User:Joenuts/common.css. Remove inline attributes and what was defined in joenuts/common.css takes over. Remove what was defined in Joenuts/common.css and mediawiki:common.css takes over.

 * First thing I would do is (temporarily, for testing purposes) change the class names on your test site. the common.css files are likely overwriting the css tags for whatever reason.  remember, the purpose of the css tags is to inject css into the head of the document where it's acceptable to define classes.  once you do that, you will be able to have a level testing ground.  let me know how it goes.

Popup Template Discussion

 * I actually had started doing a lot of template work on this, and then forgot about it. I was trying to consolidate Popup, Short popup, Long popup, and Image popup into a single template with a dynamic width based on both the user's resolution and the length of the text.  I've looked at your examples, and the one on your project page looks fine but I don't like the transparency one in your sandbox.  I'd also like to figure out how to tweak it so that popups tooltips can be nested to a depth of 3-5 (rarely see any need beyond 2-3, but... it is possible I suppose to be needed at some point).  I'll add some more ideas on this later... ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 14:53, March 11, 2014 (EDT)
 * I agree with ShoeMaker; the transparent one doesn't look good, but the other one does. Consolidation of the four popup templates is a good idea. Adding dynamic width per ShoeMaker would be awesome; however, I'm not sure how I would go about that. I'm not concerned too with nesting, but it would be useful. -- Zav (Contributions • Message) 21:08, March 11, 2014 (EDT)


 * Is your popup clickable? Sometimes I want to copy text from popup or click a link on it. Is it possible with your version?--Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 04:07, March 12, 2014 (EDT)

There is a slight space between hoverable text and the popup box. If you move your mouse slowly, from the text to the box, the popup box sometimes disappears, because you hit that dead area. --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 04:39, April 2, 2014 (EDT)

Seems fixed. In User:Ague/Projects, in the section "After", there's an example which is wrong. I have checked the code and it does not use the template, it's directly coded. Perhaps I fell into that trap yesterday and it worked correctly even before, not sure. :/ --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 01:04, April 3, 2014 (EDT)

Tabs help
Hey Ague,

Um - help? lol

It looks like I've got my tabs in a muddle when trying to update them to the new CSS style of rounded tabs.

I added the CSS code to my user/common.css file and that seemed to round the tabs when putting the template in the header of each one, however I seem to have lost my Links page and picked up more tabs of your along the way.

My original set of pages:

General Links Sandbox ToDo / Done Characters Projects Talk

How I would like to it to be:

General Talk Links To-Do List Projects Sandbox Player Archives

I'm not too sure where I've gone wrong here at all, I've noticed that my sandbox page exists but when I visit it under the new tabs system it doesn't exist - urmmm?!

Could you point out what it is I'm doing wrong so I understand and can help others in the future please ? Agonshar (Contributions • Message) 23:34, May 23, 2014 (EDT)
 * first of all, I'm not liking this mobile skin... ok...  I'll look at what you've done, but I prob won't be of much help until I get to a real computer...  This mobile skin is not the easiest to navigate...
 * Understandable, whenever you have free time that's fine.

mobile skin
I stumbled upon it the other day as well and am very unimpressed by it. I'll be looking into where it is coming from and working on fixing it next week. Feel free to start a discussion about it on AN. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 08:50, May 24, 2014 (EDT)
 * I notice on my Samsung Note 2 the mobile skin shows in the chrome browser - effectively removing the left hand navigational side of the screen. However when using the device's default browser this does not happen and defers back to my user preference set skin.

T:Popup

 * I noticed you have been replacing the use of Long popup and Short popup with Popup, so I went ahead and used AWB to transition most other pages. There are some transclusions remaining if you wish to go through them manually. &mdash;&thinsp; Zav &thinsp; (T&middot;E&middot;C) 14:16, May 2, 2015 (EDT)
 * While I do appreciate the assistance, I find it rather rude that you would use a bot to finish someone else's project. If I wanted to bot it, I would have done so myself.  I was going Template by Template for a reason.  In the future, don't bot my projects. -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · B · D · I · P · PM · PP · UM · UR) 14:52, May 2, 2015 (EDT)
 * My apologies. I was trying to be helpful, not rude. I thought it was all just direct substitution, but I did find one where you changed long to short. &mdash;&thinsp; Zav &thinsp; (T&middot;E&middot;C) 15:39, May 2, 2015 (EDT)
