I suspect that this is likely due to local English Wikibooks-configured CSS overrides - I can reproduce the issue, but it doesn't occur for me when using safemode (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Yooges?safemode=1).

MediaWiki:Minerva.css imports MediaWiki:Common.css/Messages.css . Lines 259-279 are responsible for the issue. This was corrected directly in Common.css with this edit. You will want to sort out whether that should live in Common.css or the apparent shared Messages.css.

@Krinkle since you were poking around wikibooks CSS recently.

I have just been granted interface admin rights, and I have removed the code per Izno's suggestion (https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css/Messages.css&diff=prev&oldid=4540554). Feel free to mark this as resolved.
