===Testing the bigbullet css class....===
Alas, all work here has been broken time and again as MediaWiki changed its mechanism for handling "skins", breaking the site each time. The text here is left for a future day when we might resurrect the css definitions in the "enkoBook" skin. Until then, edit this page for a look at history. <em>-- Gongmaster, 2021</em>
<div style="clear:both; min-height:155px">
<div id="ephemera" class="bigbullet" style="float:left;">[[File:Ephemera_rectoB_stat_125.gif|link=Neoteric_Ensemble]]
</div>
<p class="bbtext">Use "id='ephemera'" to invoke the animated "Neoteric book" image under the cover.
</p>
</div>
<div style="clear:both; min-height:155px">
<div class="bigbullet" style="float:left;">[[File:Ephemera_rectoB_stat_125.gif|link=Neoteric_Ensemble]]
</div>
<p class="bbtext">Using no "id" value gives us the default background animation....
</p>
</div>
<div style="clear:both; min-height:155px">
<div class="bigbullet" style="float:left; background-image:'images/b/bc/Sitelaunch_B_anim_125.gif';">[[File:Ephemera_rectoB_stat_125.gif|link=Neoteric_Ensemble]]
</div>
<p class="bbtext">But can we override the animation by simply using the style property during invocation?</p>
<p class="bbtext">No. But surely there is some css way to do image substitution without defining style sheets for individual pages....</p>
</div>
===Well, it worked until the 1.35 upgrade===
<p>All skins are now handled differently (ugh) but maybe we can resurrect using the Gadgets approach recommended by MediaWiki.</p>
<p>Test that image (img) tags no longer function:
<img src="http://dekal;borama.com/wikimedia/images/cincoDrop.png" alt="Attempting to place cincoDrop.png here..."></p>
<p>Yup, definitely and thoroughly dead.</p>

<div class="bbcover" style="position:relative; top:-125px; left:0px;">[[File:Ephemera_rectoB_stat_125.gif|link=Neoteric_Ensemble]]</div></div>
<p class="bbtext">Can't get divs to hide on hover using css gadgets. Is it even working?<br>
At long last, yes. By rewriting it in the right place. Oh, well...</p>

<p class="bbtext">And now we'll check to see if we have stacked float issues... We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text.

<p class="bbtext">...but not much more.</p>
<p>Shall we just try creating MediaWiki:Common.css like almost all documentation seems to suggest, despite claims of deprecation sprinkled through the [Hah!] documentation?</p>
