Also, if we enable <code>$wgAllowUserCss</code> in the <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file, every user will have its own Common.css + theme specific style sheet in order to test out styles, or add specific readability rules if one is in need (color blindness, dark mode enthusiast, etc. ...). [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAllowUserCss More infos here !] (I'm not saying we need or not to add that feature, just wanted to add my two cents). | |||

Styling and themes
I removed most of the typography additions as it take over the styles of the chose theme (I use MinervalNewe that has a very cool default styling).
I think the user’s default themes choice should take over the CSS, and I would also remove the colors but as It doesn’t interfere with my theme, I don’t.
Let me know if it can be improved, for example by adding the theme’s class before headings. Raphael (talk) 12:41, 31 January 2024 (CET)
