Forum:Pagebar getting crowded

I'm here for a bit a talking and some advices if possible.

The following picture show what the page bar looks like on a french wiki where we activated the Semantic extension (with Forms) about half a day earlier.

It's pretty cluttered. Yes, i know that normal users have less stuff over there and that i could remove the JS script that put that Monobook link but i prefer trying to find another way first.

And normally, in my global CSS here on Central, i have a rule that invert the floating order so that the whites tabs are at the left a bit like Monobook.

What i've tried so far is setting a width on the page_controls but it's not good. I did not tried to change the text "Modifier avec un formulaire" to something shorter as it's the proper translation for "Edit with form".

I have a big 23" LCD at 2048x1152 screen res, by the way, but i never set any window full screen as i work on many of them at the same time (or so). And i'm sure not all people have that much space on their screen. So it's mostly for the comfort of other users that i bother myself with this.

Any thoughs, advices or even help, is truly appreciated. — TulipVorlax 03:20, February 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Personally, I wouldn't think too much about this. That problem would only affect admins of French SMW-enabled wikis, logged out users wouldn't have those extra admin buttons which would mean less space to take, and logged in non-admins would just have the addition of watch and move to the logged-out users' buttons. If it is a big thing, perhaps: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/joeyaa/images/5/53/Guildwars2.jpg I know Edit with form != With form, but that's not the solution I'd take anyway.

 * I think i would begin by changing "Réactualiser" to "Purger" because that last word is what we where acoustomed to. But i dont know if it's a Mediawiki messages or what.
 * Then i could also try to set the font size a bit smaller in the page bar. Just a bit.
 * Then i could use personnal CSS to do some other changes (like hiding the tabs i never use like "Suivre" that mean "Follow") or make it even smaller.
