@KColeman-WMF can you check with the ?usecodex=1 query parameter (e.g. https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Block/~2025-25518?usecodex=1) and let us know if the spacing is OK?

I'm seeing another link above it Contributions for ~2025-25518 so can't really judge if the spacing has changed!

I still see the tighter spacing on testwiki with the usecodex param.

I think the spacing appears okay now. Closing out this task. Please reopen if the problem recurs.

I don't think the spacing has changed. This is what I see on testwiki:

Additionally, it does not have the styling for the form field helper text as specified in the description
