Infobox classes?

AHA!!! This is the page I was looking for!

I'm trying to port the Infobox Template from Wikipedia. I noticed it uses some CSS classes to make it look all pretty. I could just add the necessary CSS into the template itself, but I fear that would make the template large and unwieldly to use. I think it would be much better to use the CSS.

I poked around at Wikipedia and discovered that the CSS is stored in Common.css. To get it to work properly, we'll need to add the Infobox CSS to our MediaWiki:Common.css. I can't edit it, though, since it's a special page. Can someone with the proper privs edit it for me? Thanks! xnera 18:04, 22 September 2006 (PDT)
