Flagged revisions information box overlaps the article making it impossible for non-js users to read the article
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This is based on a complaint made in #wikinews on irc by eboettcher

Problem: When users have javascript disabled, stuff should fail gracefully. The flagged revisions information box that is normally collapsed by default, is expanded (permanently) for non-js users, and overlaps the article text. Thus preventing non-js users from reading the article.

This could potentially be fixed by display:none'ing the box, and having js changing it back to display block so that non-js users don't see it at all, or potentially by not using absolute positioning so that the article is redrawn around the expanded box.

On wikinews we added the following css to mediawiki:Common.css

div#mw-fr-revisiondetails {position:static; border-top: none}
div#mw-fr-revisiontag { border: none}
div.flaggedrevs_short_basic { text-align:right; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;padding:1px;}

Sorry for the delay on addressing this. We'll make this default to collapsed for non-JS users.

Sorry for the delay on addressing this. We'll make this default to collapsed
for non-JS users.

This will result in some extra info not be available, which we think is acceptable.
