Ugh, sleep is for the weak anyway.

The reason it should go in common.css is so that the CSS is applied to both this wiki's skins. You may not know this, but the skin you are viewing this wiki in now is called the Wikia skin (or Oasis. Different name, same thing) but there is another skin called Mononook which existed before the Wikia skin and some people still like to edit using it. People using Monobook won't see any of the CSS you put in Wikia.css, however they will see the common CSS (along with any inline styles). For something like headers, it makes sense to put the code in the skin-specific CSS pages, but for something like a navbox which should look the same, common.css is the one to use. I guess that Wikia.css updates faster than common.css though. Anyway, I've already sent off the message to Wikia. Maybe it just needs a couple more "!important"s shoved in there to get over skin-specific code.
