Close link styling and position
Howdy! On vector (2010), the close link looks a bit different than it did before. Image. It used to look like the Archive link in that image (bold, smaller font), and be right next to the Archive link instead of creating a sandwich around the subscribe link, which was a little less visually jarring. If you're interested, it may be good to restore this previous behavior. Oh, and FYI, the archive link is from WP:1CA. – Novem Linguae (talk) 16:08, 25 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, I wanted to work on that but didn't have much of the energy this morning. Do you know of any reusable CSS classes from mediawiki software that can be applied? — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 20:31, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * My recommendation would be to install a one click archiver such as User:Elli/OneClickArchiver, find the Archive link, right click -> inspect element, and copy that style exactly, so that the two links are identical. It uses the same style that the Close link used to use. As for mediawiki/vector tokens to use, not sure. – Novem Linguae (talk) 22:19, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Novem Linguae I've adjusted the styling and moved it after so it is now aligned closer to the archive link. Also moved the styling to  class and thus can be customized by overriding the default styles. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 09:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Unfortunately after the latest update, the close link has disappeared for me. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DaxServer/DiscussionCloser?useskin=vector – Novem Linguae (talk) 16:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oopsie, my bad. Fixed now. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 18:34, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yay, it's back. Thanks! It looks a little different than the "Archive" link. 1) Consider bolding it. 2) Consider matching its color. – Novem Linguae (talk) 19:36, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Novem Linguae Would you be able to test out this User:DaxServer/DiscussionCloser-new.js and give some feedback. I haven't put a preview yet. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 20:42, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sure. Unfortunately the Close link is way out of position in the dev version. It's on the left now. Screenshot. – Novem Linguae (talk) 23:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The styling was missing. It worked for me as I had both the userscripts in the same file in the localhost and thus the styling loaded for me. lol — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 06:03, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
