Note to self: How CSS Works in DBWiki Tables

The example table:

Arcona	Naga Sadow	Odan-Urr	Plagueis	Scholae Palatinae	Taldryan	Vizsla
1st Place	2nd Place	3rd Place	4th Place	5th Place	6th Place	7th Place
98,895,000 credits	90,250,000 credits	85,665,000 credits	80,317,500 credits	80,965,125 credits	78,640,619 credits	76,841,838 credits
Custom ship TBD (cruiser or smaller)	Bulwark Mark I Prototype	Predator-class Battleship	Custom ship TBD (frigate or smaller)	Custom ship TBD (frigate or smaller)	Inquisitor-class Electronic Warfare corvette	Custom ship TBD (corvette or smaller)
Ascendant Null-Burst Projector	Ascendant Crystal Phase Cannon	Ascendant Crystal Cloaking System	Ascendant Composite Beam Cannon	Ascendant Sensor Suite	Ascendant Crystal Gravity Well-Tractor Beam Generator	Purified Ascendant Crystal Medical Retrofit

The wiki applies CSS based on the classes defined in MediaWiki:Chameleon.css. So the fancy class applies CSS in the Fancy Tables/table.fancy section to the whole table. Within the table, the class="sub-head" and class="foot" are pulling in Chameleon.css' table.fancy td.sub-head and table.fancy td.foot formatting, respectively, and applying them per-cell. This is probably why I can manually override some of the style attributes at the table and cell level, but putting style attributes at the row level--which should work per MediaWiki--doesn't do anything. Alternatively, you can remove the fancy class entirely and hand-code all the styling, which in the case would probably have been less work if I'd understood all this in the beginning.
