			</div>
			I am requesting several changes to the site CSS file, and one other (related) change that requires a Sysop.

	~~.tt1_merge .messagebox, .tt1_tobedeleted .messagebox, .tt1_cleanup .messagebox, .tt1_move .messagebox, .tt1_spoiler .messagebox {~~		There are 4 kinds of changes:
	~~position:relative;~~		# Code cleanup (removing obselete/unused css)
	~~padding-left:75px;~~		# Organization (moving things around to be more consistent)
	}		# Changes designed to disables Wikia featurs
			# Changes to one of the MediaWiki UI text strings. (Not a CSS change, but still requires a Sysop)

	.~~tt1_merge~~ .~~messagebox~~ {		===Cleanup (removal of junk)===
	~~padding~~-~~left:88px;~~		#Removal of the obselete background-image styles for our page-header-messageboxes. (Note: not the Wiki 'messagebox' class, that's something different. I mean the ones prexised with 'tt1_')
	}		#Removal of the small-text styles used with <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>. (This template will probably be merged in with the much-more-useful <nowiki>{{collist}}</nowiki> in the near-future, so this removal is ''preemptive''... but it's also ''cosmetic''-- all it does it make the text 8% smaller.)
			# Removal of "macbre: fixes #1733" added to our css file in November. Macbre is/was a wikia sysop who added this definition to several wikias around this time. The fix was never documented, no one's been able to figure out what it's for and it's redundant- it literally does nothing. (I'm fairly sure he was debugging/testing a change which has since propagated to the main CSS file and just forgot to clean up his slop.)

	.~~tt1_move~~ .~~messagebox {~~		===Organizational===
	~~padding-left:113px;~~		All the TT1-specific styles (styles not snagged verbatin from other sources) go at the end of the file. It's ''neater'' that way.
	}

	~~.tt1_spoiler {~~		===Disabling Features===
	~~height:50px;~~		====Image Tagging====
	}		We hate the image tags. 80% of their traffic is bizarre broken spambots/vandalisation. We delete the other 20% of ''legitimate'' tags because the mechanism is so ''ugly'', as well as being completely redundant to our fairly strict image description standards.
	.~~tt1_spoiler~~ .~~messagebox {~~
	~~padding-left:50px;~~
	}

	.~~tt1_merge~~ .~~messagebox span~~.~~mb_thumb,~~ .~~tt1_tobedeleted~~ .~~messagebox span~~.~~mb_thumb, .tt1_cleanup .messagebox span.mb_thumb, .tt1_move .messagebox span.mb_thumb, .tt1_spoiler .messagebox span.mb_thumb{~~		These styles hide all the tagging controls so a user can't tag the image. It's like removing the steering wheel from a car. They are ID-specific nested etc etc etc... which can't possibly screw up anything but their intended target.
	~~display:block;~~
	~~height:100px;~~
	~~position:absolute;~~
	~~top:2px;~~
	~~left:5px;~~

			====Report a Problem====
			We're not big enough to need 'Report a Problem,' and the only people who ''use'' it ate IP users who think jokes are vandalism.
