             Bug #: 37878
           Summary: Rearranging the display of advanced options on
                    Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-searchoptions
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Special pages
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: mediaw...@kghoffmeyer.de
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


So far the namepaces available to be searched are arranged like this:

[ ] Main
[ ] Talk
[ ] User
[ ] User talk
...

In the meantime it is not very rare that installations offer 22 or more
different namespaces to choose from. Thus one has to scroll in most cases to be
able to see and select.

Why not rearrange the display like, e.g.:

[ ] Main / [ ] Talk
[ ] User / [ ] User talk
...

This would cut the needed lines by half and thus increase usability.
Additionally the close relation between namespace and corresponding talk
namespace would become more obvious for starters too.
