It's tempting to add

.toccolours td {
font-size:small;

but the merits are debatable. On the one hand, the vast majority of navboxes
shrink their contents so that they can fit more in. But on the other hand,
double-smalling the contents would make them illegibly tiny until someone went
through and fixed them all.

On the other hand, doing a

.toccolours {
...
font-size:small;
}

.toccolours th {
...
font-size:normal;
}

would allow the user to easily override the table style in instances where small
contents are not in order ({| class="toccolours" style="font-size:normal"). The
small-text problem from above remains, but this would make the shrunken text
inside at least be the default. If there were a way to prevent double-shrinking,
that would be ideal.

This is a patch to be applied to common.css to implement the first, more
conservative version of this change.

After discussion on [[WP:VP]] (proposals), I've decided to change the request to
ask for a new class entirely, instead of overloading the .toccolours class to do
things it was not originally intended for.

I would like the addition of a .navbox CSS class. In addition to being named for
what it would be used for, the automatic use of small fonts for the inside of
the navbox could be implemented, since the new class would only be used as the
navbox templates were rewritten. A new diff is being attached.

In answer to myself: No. Navboxes are not navigation lists.

Shouldn't this be in the local site css in the wiki?
