What happened to the one bug per bug??

(In reply to comment #0)

The page Special:Blockip is pretty unreadable:

• a series of words top down on the left, meaning unclear,
• some fields to be filled at the right, purpose unclear,
• relations between text and fields cannot be established,
• text extends outside window way to the right,
• field content extends to the outside of the window,

These are all the same issue caused by too small screen size.
Worst offender is probably the Aanlass dropdown which contains some long item and makes everything stretch behind the right edge.

• spelt out html entities,
• spelt out wikitext,
• spelt out html markup,

Not our fault if you use those before the messages are "fixed" to support. Those should be in an another bug however.

all in all a mess.

Which is not totally MediaWikis fault...

I suggest to measue the lengths of the field lables in the
upper block. If they would wrap to more than 2 lines, let
them be above the field input via colspan="2", and put the
field in an extra row.

The effective variable here is screen resolution, no the length of translation.

I suggest to render all html entities, html markup, and wiki
markup as intended.

I'll repeat once more: we do not add new raw-html messages.

I suggest to wrap all text at the right edge of the window.
(Maybe with the *only* exception of the option list which may
not wrap if the browser would not let it wrap)

It should wrap perfectly fine, if the issue in the dropdown is fixed.

As far as I can tell this is the only legitimate complaint here. If you're using a postage-stamp-sized window then I don't know what can or should be done.
