I'm wondering if the no-labels message should be moved back up to be in line with the checkboxes, e.g.:

And should the labels' field help text be changed to a full link? e.g.:

Or should it be a more 'helpful' sentence, e.g. Add [watchlist labels] to help organise how you review changes on the wiki.

Or how about linking the field label, and then the help text can link to the help page on MediaWiki.org?

@Samwilson I see the You do not have any watchlist labels message appear even when I am logged out or as a temporary user.

Oops! :(

That should be fixed now.

.mw-editpage-watchlistLabels { display: none; } mentioned in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Watchlist_labels#Source_editor doesn't seem to apply to the new message MediaWiki:Watchlistlabels-editpage-nolabels – even though people who intentionally don't use the feature are probably not interested in reading all the time that they do not have any watchlist labels.

The following CSS seems to hide the message, but it would be useful if .mw-editpage-watchlistLabels just applied to MediaWiki:Watchlistlabels-editpage-nolabels as well.

.editCheckboxes label.oo-ui-labelWidget:has(a[href*="WatchlistLabels"]) {
    display: none !important;
}

[mediawiki/core@master] Watchlist labels: add common classname to no-labels message

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1268212

That's a good point. I've created a change to add the same class name to the nolabels message as well, so the same CSS can be used to hide both.

Thanks!

@Samwilson I think adding that class has changed the alignment of the message.

Without the mw-editpage-watchlistLabels class:

With the class:

[mediawiki/core@master] Watchlist labels: Use unique class name for separate components

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1270085

Oops, of course. Thanks @dom_walden! Fixed in the above.

I wonder if we should add a common class name to all watchlist labels' components, to make it easier to hide them all via user CSS?
