This article or section needs to be updated.
Please update the article to reflect recent events / newly available information, and remove this template when finished.

There are a lot of CSS classes and IDs used on the English Wikipedia. The use of most of them is not clearly explained or described anywhere but on the place they are used. However, since Special:Whatlinkshere does not work for CSS, it can be hard to find these explanations; the definitions themselves can be located in many different places.

This page is an attempt to catalogue and describe all the CSS classes and IDs used on this wiki.

There are still a lot of classes and IDs to document, add some! Also add information about other skins.
