Yes, I'm sure there will be some teething problems but right now I think getting our teams using standard UI elements and site consistency should be the top priority. > > This appears to have caused a regression, where the CAPTCHA input field on > create account is not styled correctly.

You can see the previous forms on English Wikipedia, or via the > style guide (which hasn't been updated yet): Please please please someone find a way to auto-update this. This is supposed to be a living style guide and that's embarrassing :) Any takers? On a side note: whether we decide to stick with the design or not, we only now need to change it in one place and I think that's awesome. PS. Please make mediawiki ui checkboxes happen: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/149121/ it would be great to have BetaFeatures, core and other extensions using the same checkbox element! _______________________________________________ Design mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/design
