Temporary user link overlaps opening square bracket in grouped changes in wiki edit history
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Turn on Wikipedia Preferences : Recent Changes : Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist
  • E.g. in Recent changes look for grouped changes starting with temporary user link (dashanumeric one starting with tilde, having grey rounded inline box visual) being the first one

What happens?:

  • The first temporary user link left side overlaps the opening square bracket so that it looks like a pipe symbol (vertical line), being too close.

What should have happened instead?:

  • It should have consistent look. Visual elements should not overlap.
