MediaWiki talk:Emailsenttext

Edit request April 2017
Please change "e-mail" to "email" and "e-mailed" to "emailed" in all instances. The side bar text changed to "email this user" a few years ago. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 18:32, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅, for consistency with the sidebar, with Special:EmailUser, and with article title Email. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  21:25, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Just noticed that I had actually changed it from email to e-mail myself a while ago (explaining why this was on my watchlist), but after responded to a similar edit request at MediaWiki:Emailpagetext I do think "email" is the choice to make here. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  21:27, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Centered text
Not sure if Special:Diff/1020103283 is really the way to deal with design changes of system messages; if we want centered messages (which I don't object to), perhaps we should apply that centered design to all similar messages via the main CSS.

Additional note: If a class is used to style this message, I guess the class name should ideally refer to something content-based, not design-based: Creating a class called "centered-text" and applying it to messages selectively wouldn't properly separate content from style. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:21, 29 April 2021 (UTC)


 * On a wide screen, I repeatedly notice that the centering is rather strange. It makes me look at the white page background where I expect the text to be, but that may be caused by previous experience rather than a new user's intuition. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:42, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
