[00:55:13] <MaxSem>	 David_Hedlund: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserFunctions is somewhat related, but see the big fat security warning
[00:56:19] <MaxSem>	 also, it seems that you're spending more time on automating something than it would have taken to do by hand

[00:59:19] <David_Hedlund>	 MaxSem: "also, it seems that you're spending more time on automating something than it would have taken to do by hand" -- What do you know about that? My goal is to create a template that can be used for the Free Software Foundation staff.
[01:00:25] <David_Hedlund>	 MaxSem: And other users too.
[01:00:42] <David_Hedlund>	 MaxSem: But thank you for the first link.
[01:33:41] <daegontaven>	 hi, can someone tell why it's so hard to style links in mediawiki without using !important everywhere
[01:45:29] <Skizzerz>	 daegontaven: it means you're using the wrong specifity
[01:45:51] <Skizzerz>	 CSS applies rules based on how specific they are, so if you want to override default link styling, you need to be either as specific or more specific than the default
[01:45:56] <daegontaven>	 Skizzerz: te wrong selectors
[01:45:57] <Skizzerz>	 !important should never be necessary
[01:45:57] <wm-bot>	 !important is a keyword in CSS to override conflicting styles
[01:46:02] * Skizzerz slaps wm-bot 
[01:46:08] <Skizzerz>	 no
[01:46:17] <Skizzerz>	 say that mediawiki styles links via #bodyContent a
[01:46:30] <Skizzerz>	 if you try styling with just plain old a, the mediawiki default style is going to win out
[01:46:42] <Skizzerz>	 (I don't know exactly what it uses, check your browser's devtools)
[01:47:04] <daegontaven>	 important isn't needed, and i did manage to get it done with specificity, but my gt there are so many tags
[01:47:09] <daegontaven>	 *god
[01:47:10] <Skizzerz>	 yeah :(
[01:47:42] <daegontaven>	 i restarted 10 times already because :links was misbehaving
[01:48:16] <daegontaven>	 over 500 pages in the audit log...
[01:48:20] <daegontaven>	 fuuuckk!!!
[01:49:02] <Skizzerz>	 that's a lot
[01:49:17] <daegontaven>	 Skizzerz: what annoys me is tha there is no example for vector.css, so i can't find the right selectors
[01:49:51] <Skizzerz>	 F12 on your browser, select element in elements tab, the sidebar says what rules are being applied to it including full selector chain
[01:50:14] <daegontaven>	 Skizzerz: yes, i know that the 500 paes was despite that
[01:50:16] <daegontaven>	 *pages
[01:50:38] <daegontaven>	 i got to the point where i contemplated using sass
[01:50:41] <Skizzerz>	 :(
[01:51:02] <Skizzerz>	 idk if vector uses less/sass behind the scenes; if it does, it may be easier to copy/paste and tweak that
[01:51:05] <Skizzerz>	 but I have a hunch it does not
[01:51:08] <Skizzerz>	 anyway, afk for a while
[01:51:10] <Skizzerz>	 good luck!
[01:51:20] <daegontaven>	 okay see ya :
[01:51:27] <daegontaven>	 ._.
[02:09:26] <legoktm>	 Vector uses LESS
[03:31:08] <Ivy>	 I wonder if he was specifying every element in the tree down to the node he wanted?
[03:31:22] <Ivy>	 I'd be interested to skim the 500 pages of audit log, in any case.
[13:22:12] <Lanthanis>	 @Nikerabbit :) Hi
