As discussed on wikipedia-l (I suppose I should have mentioned it here): I put the [center] and [i] on to reduce its intrinsic obnoxiousness. No-one's going to miss it at the top of every page; this way, though, at least it doesn't hit you over the head so hard.

I would have put it in [small] as well, but that's too small in Monobook or Cologne Blue skins. I would like it if someone who knows CSS better than I do could put it in [small] for the Classic skin only.

I have no idea why the [font] tag - presumably an issue with a given skin - David Gerard 15:35, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Please keep formatting HTML out of this as much as possible. Use MediaWiki:Monobook.css for that. Since you appear to want it centred and italics, I have made the necessary changes there for you. Please clear your cache to see the changes. Make any further formatting/layout changes there. Thanks! — 131.111.193.146 15:40, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Of course, that was me -- I was logged out to see what the message looks like without my own user CSS. — Timwi 15:41, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
