Template:Current events/styles.css

Creating a MediaWiki template similar to those used for navigation boxes at the bottom of WikiMD pages involves using a combination of MediaWiki's template syntax and its CSS styling capabilities. Since the specific request is for a template named "Template:Current events/styles.css", which suggests a focus on styling for a current events template, I'll guide you through creating a basic template structure that could be used for styling purposes. However, it's important to note that actual CSS styles typically wouldn't be placed directly within a MediaWiki template but rather in the site's CSS files or within a `<style>` tag in a template for specific styling purposes. For the sake of this exercise, I'll demonstrate how you might structure the template to include some basic styling information, keeping in mind that direct CSS editing might be restricted to administrators on some MediaWiki installations.

```

This template provides styling for the Current events templates. This Current events related article is a stub.

<style> /* CurrentEventsTemplateStyles */ .currentEventsBox {

   border: 1px solid #aaa; /* Light grey border */
   background-color: #f9f9f9; /* Very light grey background */
   padding: 10px;
   margin-bottom: 10px;
   border-radius: 5px;

}

.currentEventsBox h2 {

   color: #0052A3; /* WikiMD link blue */
   margin-top: 0;

}

.currentEventsBox ul {

   list-style-type: none;
   padding-left: 20px;

}

.currentEventsBox li::before {

   content: "• ";
   color: #0052A3; /* WikiMD link blue */

}

.currentEventsBox a {

   text-decoration: none;
   color: #0052A3;

}

.currentEventsBox a:hover {

   text-decoration: underline;

} </style> ```

This template includes a `` section at the top, which is a standard practice for templates that include documentation or categorization relevant only when viewing the template page itself, not when the template is transcluded onto another page. The CSS within the `<style>` tag provides basic styling for a hypothetical "current events box" that could be used on pages related to current events. The styles are simple and would need to be adjusted according to the specific needs of your site and the existing site styles.

Remember, direct editing of CSS within templates is not always the best practice, especially for large-scale or high-traffic MediaWiki installations, due to caching and page load considerations. It's often better to include CSS in the site's main stylesheet or through MediaWiki's ResourceLoader mechanism.
