Can you please import the following CSS to MediaWiki:Common.css from Wikipedia? This will make references look prettier, and eliminate the ugly full URLs being displayed for cites.
You’re missing the first / in the page
Can you insert that?
It’s kind of critical, because the insertion of invalid CSS is causing the wiki to be very slow.
Damned copy and paste :-P. I fixed it, but the wiki still appears to be slow. I’ll keep poking around and see if I can figure out what’s wrong with it…
Hmm… Common.css doesn’t even seem to be obeyed or loaded 
I’m not totally sure what changes it’s supposed to make. I found this option and turned it on. Hopefully that helped?
Hmm, that didn’t seem to work either. Maybe just remove everything from MediaWiki:Common.css to at least get back to the previous state.
The wiki appears to be faster today. Did something change? I also see that we now have accounts!
Yup. Finally resolved my idiocy. Too ashamed to admit what my problem was :-). Suffice it to say that everything should be working correctly now.
Then I won’t ask. A job well done, regardless of the cause!
