On lower resolutions, it's more like top middle anyway, because of the width of the links to the right of it (in LTR that is). I've added periods where appropriate, but a lot of sentences are things that shouldn't end in periods, such as button captions. Documenting these as such in qqq, will commit shortly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
