Heya :) Just wanted to make sure you had an explicit answer to the Monobook questions you had about portable infoboxes. Officially, of course, Wikia doesn't actively support Monobook anymore, so this is me talking as a fellow Wikia user, more than as a member of Wikia Staff. If you have any questions about Monobook that arise from the following, then you should go to the forums at Community Central for more advice.


 * Not knowing your level of code fluency, I don't know if these instructions go over points with which you're already familiar.

The following code for MB would need to be in either MediaWiki:Common.css or MediaWiki:Monobook.css. Putting it into MediaWiki:Wikia.css will have no effect on Monobook. For portable infobox code, it's probably a good idea that the code (even for use on the Wikia skin) be placed in Common.css, so that it can affect Monobook. However, that doesn't mean that Wikia officially recommends that you put it into Common.css; you just have to try it in both places and see what gets you the Monobook results you desire.

If you find that an element in Monobook isn't working well, then you can specifically style it for that skin. To do so, just add  to the front of whatever CSS element you want.

A common problem is that the background color in Monobook is different to the one in Wikia. So if you want to change the infobox background in Monobook, then do this: .skin-monobook .pi-backgbround { color:whatever } And you'd just do the same for whatever other elements you wanted to style.
