Description

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Infobox_football_club#Width_in_Timeless_skin
The editors use the toccolours class, which per it name should set the colours of the toc, but here caused it to take up 1 column instead of 2 columns when nested inside an infobox.

What happens?:

The display property is set to table, which is unexpected and causes the table to take up one column instead of 2 columns in the layout (weird CSS heritage)

What should have happened instead?:

The element should have taken up two columns (because of colspan=2")
This is because timeless treats .toccolours and .toc identically, but the first on isn't name "colours" for nothing, it should only set visual styling, not layout.

Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc.:

Mentioned In: T314254: Templates: CSS classes (toccolours, toc) related to TOC lost styling in Vector-2022

The problem is that the images of the uniforms (kits) in the infobox stay in the "label" column instead of spanning the whole infobox.

To see the problem, go to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_basketball_club/testcases?useskin=timeless (you'll need to put the previous version of the template into the sandbox, since the problem has been worked around pending resolution of this apparent bug)
