Commit summary for MediaWiki.r107669:
* more specific selectors for wikitable - don't inherit properties to nested
tables which causes various rendering issues
** (bug 30485) Hieroglyphs look scary if embedded in tables with
class="wikitable"
** (bug 33434) math extension: integral expressions display with
boxes/frames/borders
Krinkle's comment:
I agree it is wrong to assume that kind of inheritance, I'm saying that users
are currently seeing that and because that's what it does, it is not
unreasonable for people to expect that after so many years.
Surely it's not a reason to not break it, simply something to keep in mind that
users need to be told in advance so that it can be fixed where needed.
The way I usually go about these kind of changes is to put them in
{{blue|MediaWiki:Common.css}} of commons.wikimedia and en.wikipedia and
announce it in the Village Pump and see if there are complaints. If not, they
can stay until after 1.19 is deployed. That ensures a smooth transition.
