           Summary: Format complete checkbox items using class parameter
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal

The class parameter in the field tag for type=checklist applies only to the
<input . . ./> tag, or the check box itself.  As written, the <span
class="checkboxSpan"> actually determines the formatting of the whole
selection.  Would it be better if the class parameter applied to the entire
<span> rather than only to the <input . . ./> tag?

This would allow the custom formatting of each checklist field by allowing a
class to be specified rather than the entire wiki by modifying the
span.checkbox css style.

One example of this modification would be to allow a vertical checkbox list
when needed (rather than defaulting the entire wiki to vertical checkboxes)

Example:

{{{field|Checklist|input type=checklist|class=checkboxSpanVertical}}}

When coupled with a corresponding class in MediaWiki:Common.css such as
<pre>
/***** 6. SW Forms - custom formatting *****/
span.checkboxSpanVertical {display:block;}
</pre>

I don't think the intention of the class was to format only the actual checkbox
(without formatting the text), this just corrects the problem.
