It still works fine for me in Chrome 4.0.302.2 dev, and in Firefox 3.5.7, both on Ubuntu 9.10. > Can you explain what you mean by "the effect is due to enwiki > styling, not MediaWiki"? MediaWiki is the software that runs Wikipedia, which can be obtained from <http://www.mediawiki.org/>. One feature of MediaWiki allows administrators to add custom styles, at special pages like <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css>. The feature where cite links get highlighted when you jump to them is due to the following rule on that page: /* Highlight clicked reference in blue to help navigation */ ol.references > li:target, sup.reference:target, span.citation:target { background-color: #DEF; } The original version of this rule was added by Omegatron on January 16, 2007 <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&diff=101105777&oldid=99596083>. Since the feature was added by a local administrator, not a MediaWiki developer or Wikimedia sysadmin, you should ask local administrators about it. Devs/sysadmins can't fix it even if they knew what was wrong, except if they happen to be enwiki sysops (which most aren't). So you should ask at [[MediaWiki talk:Common.css]], or maybe [[WP:VPT]], not here. This list is for MediaWiki development and Wikimedia systems administration. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
