No one theme displays all available wiki formatting correctly

[najevi]

Wow, that was quick!

I agree that the stylish proof of concept patch fixes the appearance of the
formatting shortfalls mentioned for the "light" theme.

Reviewing the rest of hose two sample wiki pages I see that
1. unnumbered lists using * are getting numbered (appending ul li {
list-style-type: disc; } to your patch perhaps? )
2. ordered lists using I and i are getting decimal numbers (
list-style-type: upper-roman  and  lower-roman is required )
3. ordered lists using A and a are getting decimal numbers (
list-style-type: upper-alpha and  lower-alpha is required )

More complicated lists that switch from bullet (*) to number (1) to letter
(A) also display badly. see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnLists#More_Examples

I am a novice when it comes to CSS but with enough hours would figure out
what you will no doubt solve in minutes!

Once worked around via Stylish it will be easy to forget that the newcomer
to the wiki does not benefit from these patches until the "light" (default)
theme is patched.
