refactor(wikipedia): use mediawiki library module by uncenter · Pull Request #1867 · catppuccin/userstyles

uncenter · 2025-08-31T20:15:06Z

Integrates the new library module for MediaWiki sites from #1866. Must be merged after #1866 is merged into main.

missing this, oddly enough.

uncenter · 2026-01-03T03:31:26Z

Can you please provide a reproduction URL?

It seems that because the sidebar content on Help: pages are NOT defined as .infobox maybe? We can see that the content is defined as table.sidebar.sidebar-collapse.nomobile.nowraplinks.hlist.linking-and-page-manipulation with role=navigation, which is different
Yep, confirmed it's a missing .sidebar and .sidebar-collapse tree of formatting that needs to be done in wiki theme directly (it's outside of mw.)

ninetailedtori

Could we add these for some of the meta-page and meta-element theming? :3

Fixes sidebar issue, see Wikipedia contribution Help: pages, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Interlanguage_links

Seems like there is a specific CSS override for that exact table?

html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .linking-and-page-manipulation { background-color:#101418; color:white }

Hmm, it's rather consistent for all Help pages, though? Are the others tagged the same as well?

If you could check yourself that would be great, I'm a little spread thin at the moment.

Confirmed that we need it to be sidebar: see other pages outside of topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Project_namespace#Wikipedia_how-to_and_information_pages, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines, etc.

Or, alternatively, [role="navigation"] should be more "specific" if you're worried, as well.

Those pages use the .help-box class.

I would really like to stick to using the actual classnames on these elements if we could please. There is no need to branch out into attribute selectors here when we can look at how the original CSS does it perfectly well.

Changed to .help-box.

NOT certain we should be specifying it with .help-box, tbh. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Interwiki_links, where "Manual of Style" sidebar is separate from linking-and-page-manipulation but still sidebar, and breaking from the same thing. Well, it's up to you.

Unsure about this still, was an option eventually settled on?

I'd appreciate it if we could avoid pasting large screenshots all over this integration thread. Let's keep questions like those to the Discord where we can have a discussion.

The icons might need another check since Codex Icons has been updated, but I don't have bandwidth to pick it up. Everything else looks good from a cursory review.

@ninetailedtori I'm trying to understand where we left of with your requested changes here. Could you summarize what issues, if any, are still present with this pull request's version of the Wikipedia userstyle? Are those issues fixed by #2312?

ninetailedtori · 2026-08-31T14:03:26Z

Honestly after the whole... big merge? I gotta work through it and double check any PRs I was testing re the mediawiki lib 🥹 I'll be checking this one today to see if my comments are still relevant!
