The primary focus should be on the field title, and the secondary one on the required mark. Either we keep H, or we use B and add a legend for the asterix. This is the most comune way of marking mandatory fields, and most of the users are used to it. If they don't notice the asterix, they will be notified. There would be another solution, to add a light yellow background color to the mandatory fields, and of course, add a legend for that color. +1 for H as it is > 3. >> >> http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterfaceAppendix#HErrorreporting >> +1 C1 because is a separation between the explanatory text and the error >> text.
