--- Comment #79 from Isarra <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Jon from comment #77) > Isarra. What was the motivation for putting them in in the first place? Given that this was orginally added in 2004, I couldn't say. I can, however, point you to comment #3 and comment #6, which detail specific reasons for keeping them in now. > Putting styles in both core and common.css that do the same thing is a > terrible terrible terrible thing and we should at least resolve that problem > at the same time. The fact those rules exist there show MediaWiki was not > serving there purpose and they were /not/ useful. As I said, the English Wikipedia is not the only project that uses this software. What they do doesn't necessarily apply to other projects, especially when we don't even know why they did what they did. > Currently each project as complete free reign to add these icons in > common.css if they want to. I truly don't see the value in them being here. Each project is free to write their entire skin css in common.css if they want to. Doesn't mean they should have to do that either. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
