[edit] Boldness of headings

Level 3 headings are being displayed bolder than level 2 headings (on my computer, etc). I use the default skin. Is this a setting or do developers need to be invovled to get it changed? RJFJR 17:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

It can be changed by an admin in MediaWiki:Monobook.css. I don't think there's a problem with this since level 2 headings are distinguished by their larger font size and underlining. Tra (Talk) 17:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

They don't look bigger to me. They look the same size but L3 isn't underlined but is bolded. RJFJR 18:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Level 2 headings are slightly bigger. Here's the part of the stylesheet http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/main.css?37 where the headings are formatted:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
        color: black;
        background: none;
        font-weight: normal;
        margin: 0;
        padding-top: .5em;
        padding-bottom: .17em;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #aaa;
}
h1 { font-size: 188%; }
h1 .editsection { font-size: 53%; }
h2 { font-size: 150%; }
h2 .editsection { font-size: 67%; }
h3, h4, h5, h6 {
        border-bottom: none;
        font-weight: bold;
}
h3 { font-size: 132%; }
h3 .editsection { font-size: 76%; font-weight: normal; }
h4 { font-size: 116%; }
h4 .editsection { font-size: 86%; font-weight: normal; }
h5 { font-size: 100%; }
h5 .editsection { font-weight: normal; }
h6 { font-size: 80%;  }
h6 .editsection { font-size: 125%; font-weight: normal; }

.editsection {
        float: right;
        margin-left: 5px;
}

As you can see, level 2 headings are sized at 150% but level 3 headings are sixed at 132%. Tra (Talk) 18:29, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

You can change this for yourself if it really bothers you. Add the following to User:RJFJR/monobook.css:

h1 { font-weight: bold }
h1 .editsection { font-weight: normal }

h2 { font-weight: bold }
h2 .editsection { font-weight: normal }

That will make first and second level headings bold, just like h3 and lower. The second statement in each pair prevents "[edit]" from being bolded too. Mike Dillon 18:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
