I've noticed that, since the change to Oasis, there's often an annoying margin above lines indented with a colon.

Example of it actually occuring:

There is whitespace right below this not-indented line...

and above this indented line.

But not above this line, which is also indented.

And it also adds whitespace after indented lines transition back to non-indented lines.

That's crazy annoying, and on non-wikia wikis it doesn't happen, or is less pronounced.

Is this something that can be fixed in a CSS file somewhere? I'd love to get rid of it both above and below indented lines. Can someone clue me in on which css file and which target?

I completely agree. When this change went through, I altered all that on Aion to remove most of the white-space.

.WikiaArticle dt { font-size: 14px; }
.WikiaArticle dl { margin: 0; }
dd > dl { margin-top: 5px !important; }
p + ul { margin-top: -5px !important; }

The above should handle most of your issues. Change the font-size and margins to taste, lower heat to simmer and wait 5 minutes before enjoying. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. Rappy 22:43, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, that looks to be working. --GrantB 20:31, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
