Modules coming from the site-level (common.js, skin.js, gadgets, ) are used for all sorts of things. Personally I believe it is much more common for a gadget to manipulate the interface than to manipulate the article content. Either way, it is a moot point. > > I'm not a big fan of a @flip rule, doesn't make sense to me (yet). > > It is impossible to tag all of the site CSS relating to content with @noflip, > that is why I would like to reverse the logic and introduce @flip for site > CSS. We can change the base direction, sure. But we don't need to disable flipping and introduce @flip. The problem is not that you need @flip. @flip is an example of how the actual problem could be solved. The actual problem is that the base direction is assumed wrong (in your opinion). Also, having an example would be great. I think maybe there is a different problem or misunderstanding relevant. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
