I got hold of the appropriate people just now, and Wikipedia is no longer
serving the broken CSS:

http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/KHTMLFixes.css

The fix should also be in MediaWiki 1.16.  That should theoretically be
released in a month, but might take longer.

Needless to say, though, there are a *lot* of MediaWiki installs out there that
don't keep up with updates.  If you guys aren't willing to keep a site-specific
hack in WebKit for a while, we could *maybe* backport the fix to old versions
-- normally we only backport security fixes -- but we can't make people
upgrade.  The breakage is pretty ugly, with all content shoved down a large
amount.

For future reference, the best place to reach us is wikitech-l:
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l>.  Anything posted
there will be read by most Wikimedia sysadmins and MediaWiki developers.  For
real-time response, you can also go to #mediawiki (for MediaWiki) or
#wikimedia-tech (for Wikimedia site administration) on freenode, but of course
you'll reach fewer people that way.

Sorry about the problems we've caused.  Please let us know about any future
difficulties.  I've posted on wikitech-l to remind people to be careful about
browser sniffing in the future:
