Confusing color of "Cancel" option in Edit-screen
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

When editing a wiki-page the 'Cancel' option (in Dutch: 'Annuleren') is not a button, but the color has been made red. On Dutch wiktionary this has resulted in the wrong interpretation that the word "Annuleren" still needs to be added to the dictionary. It is confusing to use the color red both to signify "destructive action" and "page to add". Wouldn't it be possible to put red text in a light grey button, like the two buttons preceding it?
