Thomas gave you admin permissions on pl.opensuse.org so you can do this
yourself now :-)

You might want to include the CSS from the english wiki. To do this,
edit MediaWiki:Common.css and add

@import "//en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text%2Fcss&smaxage=18000&action=raw&maxage=18000" all;

Note that MediaWiki:Common.css is cached quite long - it will take
several hours until changes become visible (even if you are logged in).
For testing, using &debug=true should work, for example
http://pl.opensuse.org/index.php?title=The_page_you_want&debug=true

No problem, it's a valid concern, and I know how annoying it is when
you want to do something, but a "permission denied" message stops you.

Not all of them have vanished - they "just" moved on to other tasks.

That said - I'd be happy if this was our only problem with the wiki [1]...

[1] maybe you've heard about the spam attack on the english wiki last
year, and the not-so-responsive admins in Provo...
