I did not want to give a wrong impression. Indeed, I wrote at least the initial
version of that section, and few others in this group. Nevertheless, it is a
summary of previous discussions in several contexts, at least one of which was
in the MediaWiki/WikiMedia environment.

It is aplicable to our current subject matter. Look at this:

> -- Display options --
>
> Days to
> show in       [_7_______]
> watchlist:    
> Maximum 7 days
>
> Maximum number
> of changes to
> show in       [_250_____]
> expanded
> watchlist:    
> Maximum number: 1000
>
> -- Advanced options --
...

and compare it to:


> -- Display options --
>
>              Show [_7______] days in watchlist.
>                              Maximum: 7 days
>
> Show a maximum of [_250____] changes in expanded watchlist.
>                              Maximum number: 1000

-- Advanced options --
...


Isn't the 2nd both more readable and much better English?
