Another possible improvement for me, following T212743: I get that, possibly, when edit notices were designed in visual editor, the designers probably wanted to move away from ‘additional visual clutter’ and focus on the content. But while I understand it, I don’t really think that anyone reads the text that was put in a tiny space that is routinely scrollable. And, what matters the most, edit notices can routinely contain useful information that could resolve in a block if user ignores it. What I’m getting at is: can we make it more prominent, even if it would be ‘damaging’ to the design? Quick mockup (in VE, but same for 2017WE): {F27782584} If this was considered and declined, sorry, I didn’t find a task for it.

In my proposed setup, it would be less easy to miss one while closing another.
