Things to move out of Mediawiki:Common.css and Mediawiki:Mobile.css

• Main page styles (#mainpagenavigation, .page-Main_Page, etc)
• Fancy table styles (.table, which is provided by {{STDT}} I'm pretty sure?)
• Infoboxes (.infobox)
  • There's not a single "base infobox" template that everything uses right now, but we can pull in a single CSS page from all the infobox templates for now and do more work to unify their structure later
  • Also .weapon-damage-stats, .armor-defense-stats, .equipment-footer, etc
• Navboxes (.nav, shares a lot of styles with infoboxes that will need to be separated, will similarly need to be pulled in by multiple separate templates)
• Inline icon styles (.inline-icon and .text-icon, not sure how to handle this exactly, it probably doesn't need its own template, this one might stay in common.css for now)
• Recipe boxes (.recipe-box, .ingredients, etc)
• Dialogue (wait, we have classes for this? figure out what the fuck uses .dialogue i guess)
• {{colorize}} (.colorized-description)
• {{STFI}} (.standard-frame-icon etc)
  • This and other icon templates actually can't use template styles at all. We have SMW properties like Property:Is obtained by (used via {{Obtainable parameter}}) which can contain icon templates in their values; and gets converted into strip markers which don't survive a round-trip through being stored as an SMW property value. This breaks display of these properties entirely, so it's a no-go.
• Item rarities (.rarity; honestly these should just be handled as CSS variables I think)
• Relic quest stuff (.relic-quest - i don't think any of this uses templates yet? it *really* should)

Things to move out of inline style= attributes

I mean, basically everything that uses inline style attributes should stop doing that outside extremely niche one-off things in the main article namespace. Any styles used by a template should either use or have their CSS in Common.css and Mobile.css. TODO: make a list of some of the templates where this is most relevant
