I checked on your wiki. Except for the changes applied from Common.css, the MediaWiki default style still applies to Monobook.


 * in Oasis, however,
 * except for the changes applied from Common.css,

 .article-table, .WikiaTable { background: #424141; border-collapse: collapse; border: 0px none #6b6a6a; margin: 1em 1em 1em 0 }

.article-table th, .article-table td, .WikiaTable th, .WikiaTable td { border-bottom: 1px #6b6a6a solid; padding: 6px 12px }

.article-table th, .WikiaTable th { background: #3a3939; text-align: left }

.article-table caption, .WikiaTable caption { font-weight:bold } ... so the only things that are different (because of the theme) are the colors.

There is no class article-table-selected defined anywhere in CSS. Either it does nothing or it's something used only by someone's personal JavaScript or CSS.

Common.css is applied to all skins. "All" in Wikia's case means essentially Monobook and Oasis. (Because Wikia backports MediaWiki from the released versions, there are some remnants of other skins. Oddly Cologne Blue seems to be the best defined. You can append "?useskin=cologneblue" without the quotes on to the end of any Wikia URL to see it.) Monobook.css is applied to Monobook after Common.css. Wikia.css is applied to Oasis after Common.css.

Also, because style sheets cascade, you can redefine article-table to be anything you want it to be. Anything you don't redefine defaults to the skin's definition of that class, so you don't need to define a new class. You can use just a redefined article-table, unless you want to use an unaltered article-table in some cases, but a new class for other cases.
