Philippe, You can find that file by searching for it on your wiki. Here are three links which explain in more detail:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Stylesheets http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces The mediawiki.org site has very good documentation. There is also a very good book "MediaWiki: The Definitive Guide" available from oreilly.com.
