--- Comment #13 from entli...@gmx-topmail.de 2010-08-14 00:48:55 UTC --- Positioning such icons (so that they work in all popular skins, of course, as users naturally expect) has so far been a very common, time-consuming (and rather silly) job of local administrators – see the list of interwiki links in [[Template:Top icon]]. Quite a lot of them, especially on smaller wikis, don't work correctly (or not at all). The implementations are very different. Most wikis use position:absolute, but the French, German and Chinese Wikipedias use float:right together with a little script that moves the icons just before #firstHeading (see [[fr:MediaWiki:Common.js]], [[de:MediaWiki:Vector.js]] and [[zh:MediaWiki:Common.js]]). While I would prefer having them just after #firstHeading semantic-wise, putting them before #firstHeading and floating them right (like editsection links) solves all the positioning problems in a simple, easily-maintainable way. See [[de:Wikipedia:Bewertungsbausteine]] using Vector for how it looks. Ah, and there are also the coordinates that, for whatever reason, like to be positioned near the title in many wikis. -- 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 Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
