Order of error messages when page save fails.
Open, MediumPublic

Description

When accidentally logged out when saving an edit, you get:

  • first a message that your edit will be shown when sighted,
  • second a message about the article size,
  • third a headline saying "preview",
  • fourth a message telling you that your edit was not saved,
  • fifth the page perview.

See attached screen shot.

The only logical order would have to be:

  • first the message about the article size,
  • second the message telling you that your edit was not saved,
  • third the message that your edit would be shown when sighted if it had been saved. (could alternatively be omitted)
  • fourth the headline saying "preview",
  • fifth the page perview.

Thanks for your bug report.

You've marked this as applying to MW version 1.18 but your screenshot almost looks like a Wikipedia. Is this from MediaWiki installed from svn?

No, I am sorry; yes it is from Wikipedia in German,
that is, Version 1.16wmf4 (Version 81159)
(Copied from Special:Version)
That is not selectable here, thus I have set it to 1.16 now.
Please adjust, if you know better!
Thank you.
