  • Ever since I updated MediaWiki:Common.css it seems like lines 259-263 of that page have added "From Leftypedia" to the top of basically every page. It would be awesome to be able to a) modify this to say something else, b) make it italic, or c) remove it entirely. In other words, to have power over it at all. The actual text isn't present I also started a discussion at MediaWiki talk:Common.css#"From Leftypedia"
