There are additional appearance customizations created by us, plus supporting markup for features added to the wiki through Common.js. The Wikipedia carry-overs are not documented below because the comments in the markup should suffice. Following are our self-made customizations: | ||
* | *The "? Help" button which would appear on some special pages at the top-right is hidden because it pushes down the lede text on category pages. We have a Help link in the sidebar at all times so it's unneeded anyway. | ||

**A custom [http://www.example.com external link arrow] replaces the default one ([[Image:MediaWiki default external link icon.png]]); the box element has been removed, making it visually less cluttered and easier to read. | **A custom [http://www.example.com external link arrow] replaces the default one ([[Image:MediaWiki default external link icon.png]]); the box element has been removed, making it visually less cluttered and easier to read. | ||

*Next to last, there is code to allow tables to automatically sort themselves by a given column when the page is loaded. This is utilized in several places on the wiki. To make an autosort table, first the table must be declared with the class "wikitable". Next, as part of the same class declaration, you must also add in "sortable" to enable MediaWiki's built-in sortable column feature. Finally add the third class "autosort" to trigger this feature. By default, the table will be sorted by column 1, but you can specify another column by declaring a fourth class for the table called "by-column-''x''", where 'x' is a number from 1 to 9. See [[Oni 2 (Angel Studios)/Levels]] for a sample usage of this feature. | *Next to last, there is code to allow tables to automatically sort themselves by a given column when the page is loaded.
