Admin material
Hey, Movie... wow!!! Awesome work over the weekend on your gazillion edits... keep this up and you will make admin someday :) - Darkwynters (talk) 18:00, January 19, 2015 (UTC)

HTML/CSS Help
Hey, Dave, you're the wiki markup pro here, yes?

I've been working on creating a grouping box for the bottom of language pages, as I plan to do a thorough "Languages of Faerûn" article project in the future. I'm having difficulty changing the line spacing between lines in the 2nd box shown here: User:Lhynard/Sandbox. (As it is, the box is way to big, but it would all fit if not for the "double-spacing" happening.)

I've toyed with the  field, changing the CSS fields ,  , and. None of that works, yet it looks the way I want it to when I create an HTML file and view it in a browser, so I'm assuming something on the wiki is overriding the settings I'm providing in the raw HTML. What am I missing? Where can I view the wiki's master CSS? The Template:4ed box has a  field. Could I solve this problem using that? IF so, where do I put the CSS file?

 * It looks like your &lt;ul&gt; and &lt;li&gt; elements are inheriting the style from Wikia itself, which we have no control over, but we can override with our own css. The "quick" fix for your 4ed box is to change all &lt;ul&gt; and &lt;li&gt; "line-height" parameters to "inherit" and then set the line-height of your table at the top to, say 80%. That way you can adjust the spacing of the whole table at once. If you want me to create a style for you, I can do that, but it might be later tonight or tomorrow. Oh, and one more thing: you have to separate style designators with a semi-colon, like this:  or else you risk weirdness (as if css wasn't weird enough). Good luck, and let me know. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 23:42, January 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tips! Don't worry about creating the style for me yet; I'll mess around with it more first.


 * Gah! I forgot about the semicolons; I should have remembered that. (I program in C++ after all!) ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:16, January 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ok, it's crazy ugly, but it's working now. Thanks again! ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:45, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
