Mobile / tablet issues plus standardized wording -- ~Njt (talk) 16:00, February 24, 2020 (EST)[edit source | reply | new]
Hi. The Dismissable site notice extension sets margins to allow this message to be shown, eg right margin at 20% - this makes sure that even in tiny screens there was enough space to display the "dismiss" word. The change just made won't fit so it overlaps with the site message. An alternative to using a percentage like 20% would be to try an approx. width in em. See my suggestions on MediaWiki_talk:Common.css for this code, with a suggestion to improve layout on smaller screens (the notice can take up around half the screen). Secondly, good practice for user interfaces is to never include the words "click here" in a link, and to avoid block capitals. Changing this simply to "Close" would be better in my view.

- Another suggestion is to change to "Dismiss" or "Hide notice". User:Pyrrhus I think it's important to avoid using uppercase since it's less readable as well as taking up more room. ~Njt (talk) 15:44, April 13, 2020 (PDT)
- User:Kmdenmark can you please change the page from:
CLICK TO REMOVE
to:
Close
- (without the "pre" tags). This will reduce the size and clutter on small devices, and changing from upper case to sentence case will make it easier to read. It is also not standard to include words like "click" in clickable links. Thanks ~Njt (talk) 18:53, May 20, 2020 (EDT)
Done
Thanks User:Kmdenmark ~Njt (talk) 15:44, May 24, 2020 (EDT)
