--- Comment #3 from Eduard Braun <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 12789 --> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=12789&action=edit Proof of concept of CentralNotice banner that would be both: More visible and implementable without messing with page layout. Actually I like sliding even less. I'm no friend of dynamic page content at all as you might have noticed. Sort of fundamental question: Is the current layout fixed (e.g. should it be considered as a design constraint) or could we freely edit it? In the latter case see my attachment for a rough design proposal how the banner could be changed to nicely fit into the currently existing space without the need to mess with page layout. * The banner is at the top of the page (where important banners belong), therefore highly visible. * The banner is not longer part of the "#content" div (were it doesn't belong) and it is not necessary to mess with the layout to make room for it. * The banner only shows a heading by default. Therefore one can quickly see if the notice is relevant and expand it as necessary while it only has a small footprint when one isn't interested. * The extended banner could extend even further to the bottom and to the right to allow for large messages with far more text (currently all information needs to always be hidden behind a link, since no more information would fit into the space offered by the current banner). I hop you like my way to "think different" since the current design is far from optimal (as you say yourself, there is no clean solution to prevent shifting). Maybe this might be a slight indication of poor design after all? My proposal seems to solve the problem completely while even improving upon current design (at least in my opinion). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
