Description:
It seems that a recent change in MediaWiki now prevents wikitext from being parsed in CSS files ; on fr.wikipedia and on other projects, it is common practice to use wikitexts between comments to divide pages into sections and allow section editing (see [[:fr:MediaWiki:Common.css]]). Could this please be reactivated ? Thanks.

Yes, we're now wrapping up site css/js in <pre> tags, as is done with user css/js. Not sure if/how we'd enable parsing of wikilinks while preserving the <pre> wrapping, so likely the only option would be to revert that, which I'm not sure would be much of an "improvement." In any case, certainly not high priority / critical severity as you indicated, reducing to low / enhancement.
