It looks fine with the solid border. A user defined template would be better so that the style can be consist across the wiki pages.

Some bureaucracy before some real work... what nomenclature should we use for table formatting templates? It must be short, because they'll be used frequently, but still descriptive. Template:<prefix><family>[-variant] so... stuff like Template:TFpretty, Template:TFpretty-head

using simple lingo will work. page-head, page-body, etc.

pretty tables

Looking at the recent changes here, it would be nice to be able to get into the style.css for the wiki to make it easier to make pretty tables. --Reglib 04:57, 1 June 2006 (CDT)


I'm not sure but I think you can do that at MediaWiki:Monobook.css.

Currently all the CSS pages are protected. Templates are another option, but being really lazy, CSS can be simpler if you put in the initial work. I'll try template-only formatting for a few weeks, and if I think CSS is needed I'll come a hollerin'

some links for me to look at later: [1] [2] MediaWiki:Common.css

Templates are an excellent choice. I think for the timg being though, it would just be easier to add CSS2 tags instead. Templates would keep things more organized, despite the fact though.

HotshotGG, please keep the outer border ala the tables in Recommended Ogg Vorbis. Outer borders prevent table runins making them currently rather confusing and all mixed-up IMO. Also... next time you make extensive editing, why not edit the whole page at once instead of section by section (1) I got a headache looking at the history :P (2) Jan still has not put spacing before section/subsection heads so the sections all run together :(

Disregard my previous comments. The dotted lines look ugly. I changed to 2px solid line. But the color looks... um, unappetizing now. Edit all page, and replace every occurence of #ffdead with something better (using notepad or similar).

merge the linux download page?

Now that the Download Page is detailed into Windows and Mac OS/X parts (and also PocketPC part), do you think we ought to merge the Download Page for Linux here? --pepoluan 16:29, 6 June 2006 (CDT)


Yes I think so. Jan 16:58, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

Yes we should. HotshotGG 18:58, 9 June 2006 (CDT)
