Alignment should not be inconsistent within sections; the start of each input should line up. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Style_guide/Forms etc. > My general suggestion is "more flexibility". Flexibility is the enemy of consistency, and consistency is an important part of accessibility. > Occasionally, "Label Input Space" is bad for i18n, and "Text1 Input Text2" was > a better way to go. See also: > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localisation#Have_message_elements_before_and_after_input_fields You added (http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=246667) that yourself; don't then cite it as independent support :P I do understand that it may make sense from a localisation perspective, but that's missing the point of the form: a form is there to capture data, and the data is different to the description, and different to the errors. We certainly need to flip the layout in RTL languages; that's something we don't currently do and that's bad. But breaking up the alignment or semantic separation is not a good idea. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
