Well, button, not buttons. We're only discussing the "Log in" button. And if we
can accept that every other button in the interface defines the "normal" size,
then we can definitively say that this particular button is oversized.

It seems to be out-of-step with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and
out-of-step with common practice on the Web.

It would be helpful to have examples of a log in button this large in another
site's user interface. Here are some examples where the log in button is normal
size:

* https://instagram.com/accounts/login/
* https://twitter.com/login
* https://myaccount.nytimes.com/auth/login
* https://secure.nordstrom.com/SignIn.aspx
* https://shop.wikimedia.org/account/login
* https://blog.wikimedia.org/wp-login.php
* https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/profile/login
* https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl

I found one example of a site using an oversized log in button:

* http://www.wikia.com/Special:UserLogin

Perhaps there are others? Or perhaps only the designers at Wikia and the
Wikimedia Foundation have studied Fitts' law.
