Created attachment 9795 [details] Patch for /skins/chick/main.css This patch removes any redundant CSS from skins/chick/main.css that has moved to skins/common/commonElement.css. I guess this was an oversight; it was removed from all other skin files, but not this one.
r108055, thanks!
Per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/108055#c29861
Chick would first have to be switched to actually use commonElements (and perhaps the other common ones as well). Doing so requires good visual testing, since it could contain styles that change defaults. So before/after needs is important.
I asumed it was for all skins, but having looked in Resource.php I see they are for Monobook and Vector only. This is a bit odd since we end up with duplicate CSS. I checked the flies line-by-line and there were no differences in the duplications. Begs the question why the CSS was split up in the first place? Skin-specific CSS should be placed in their respective skin files.
With Chick obsolete, so is this bug.
