--- Comment #2 from [email protected] 2011-08-16 05:34:55 UTC --- They just space things out unnecessarily. I can't think of a reason why they would be necessary, and that's why they're unnecessary. I haven't thoroughly tested all browsers, but I see no tricks in this CSS that would lead me to believe they are compatibility hacks. They have pretty consistent effects on all browsers as far as I know. The only thing I'm changing is padding and margins. I don't touch anything else. If you need a screenshot of the effects, I suppose I could make them. You can see here how the gallery does not line up with the left edges of other things on the wiki page (text, images, various boxes, etc): http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images#Gallery_syntax Also notice that caption text does not line up with left edge of each gallery image. My changes remove all that extra margin and padding so everything lines up, and caption text is not packed any tighter than necessary. I see no reason why the text should not extend to the left and right edges of each image, and the gallery as a whole should not extend to the left and right edges of the usable wiki page space. The gallery is the only thing that has this extra padding and margins, as far as I know. It's unnecessary, inconsistent, and causes misalignment of the gallery, and premature wrapping of caption text. I'm sure whoever put all that in originally thought that it looked better. In some cases, I agree that it does, but all other cases, it doesn't. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
