The default style has two bugs, at least one of which is IMO fairly
serious and has gone unfixed for 2 years now:
  | #864925 wiki.debian.org: gridlines in tables

The Classic style does not have these bugs.  I have been using it as
my personal style for some time and I have not noticed any
misrendering.

In the interests of correctness and readability of tables, at least,
could the default style be changed (at least until the newer style is
fixed) ?

Thanks,
Ian.

Hi!

Ah! This has been bothering me for so long, and I was not aware it was
due to the Debian specific theming. Thanks! Although I tried the
Classic theme and it was too ugly for my taste, the Modern one looked
slightly better though, which is what I've switched to for now. :)

This feels a bit too drastic, but I fully understand the sentiment.

I assume a MR for the CSS as proposed in the referenced bug might help
move this, but I notice the theming is not included in the git repo at
<https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wiki.debian.org>, and there's a MR
about that already too, which would need to be solved first
<https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wiki.debian.org/merge_requests/2>. :)

Thanks,
Guillem

Hi.  I filed this bug about 18 months ago.  Guillem wrote

Thanks to Guillem for these illuminating comments.

Unfortunately, evidently no-one in the past year and a half has had
the effort and attention to fix our custom theme.  Working on the
custom theme is not a thing that I have the effort or inclination to
do.

If those who really dislike the Classic theme find it too ugly, then I
think it would be reasonable to expect those people to maintain that
theme.  That includes fixing serious defects in a reasonable time.

So I think the right decision would be to change the default theme to
Classic, until the bugs in the custom theme are fixed.

As I say, the formatting bugs in the current theme are very severe.

Sorry,
Ian.
