Global CSS/JS migration
Hello LlamaAl. You import global styles from User:LlamaAl/global.css using your local CSS pages. Since August 2014, your global.js and global.css pages are loaded automatically on all wikis so this is no longer necessary. Do you want me to remove the global imports from your local pages using Synchbot (without changing any other content)? —Pathoschild 02:49, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
