In your MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Wikia.css Edit
It used to be sufficient to add CSS only to Common.css to effect all skins. Nowadays Common.css effects all skins except the Oasis/Wikia skin. Common.css effects the Monobook skin, for example.
For the Oasis/Wikia skin the CSS also has to go in Wikia.css. Feel free to use or adapt the following CSS:
/* default skin for navigation boxes */
table.navbox {
background-color: #f9f9f9;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
clear: both;
font-size: 90%;
margin: 1em 0em 0em;
padding: 2px;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
}
table.navbox th {
background-color: #ccf;
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
}
table.navbox tr:not(:first-child) th {
background-color: #ddf;
}
@media print {
.navbox {
display: none;
}
}
/* Standard Navigationsleisten, aka box hiding thingy from .de. Documentation at [[Wikipedia:NavFrame]]. */
div.Boxmerge,
div.NavFrame {
margin: 0px;
padding: 4px;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
text-align: center;
border-collapse: collapse;
font-size: 95%;
}
div.Boxmerge div.NavFrame {
border-style: none;
border-style: hidden;
}
div.NavFrame + div.NavFrame {
border-top-style: none;
border-top-style: hidden;
}
div.NavPic {
background-color: #fff;
margin: 0px;
padding: 2px;
float: left;
}
div.NavFrame div.NavHead {
height: 1.6em;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #ccccff;
position:relative;
}
div.NavFrame p {
font-size: 100%;
}
div.NavFrame div.NavContent {
font-size: 100%;
}
div.NavFrame div.NavContent p {
font-size: 100%;
}
div.NavEnd {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
line-height: 1px;
clear: both;
}
a.NavToggle {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
right:3px;
font-weight:normal;
font-size:smaller;
}
Then you need some templates that use this, like Wikipedia:Template:Hidden. See also Wikipedia:Wikipedia:NavFrame.
Or simply:
<div class="NavFrame"> <div class="NavHead">Title</div> <div class="NavContent"> Hideable Content </div> </div>
For tables use the following (note that the title will not be truly centered, unlike the div version)
{| class="toccolours collapsible"
!colspan="2"| Title
|-
| Column 1 || Column 2
|}
