           Summary: Remove placeholder text from login form
                    (Special:UserLogin)

The placeholder text at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin>
should be removed.

"Enter your username" and "Enter your password" is unnecessary and possibly
insulting to the user (it can be read as condescending). Looking at other
sites, it seems the practice of using both a placeholder and a label is
uncommon for fields of this nature.
