Recent changes legend displays poorly on narrow resolutions
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The fact that the recent changes' legend is floated to the left causes it to display poorly on narrow screen resolutions or window viewport sizes. When narrowing the browser window, the content in the "Recent Changes options" box begins to be effected by wordwrap until it is hardly usable anymore. Perhaps using some @media query to remove the float the element has at narrower resolutions would be good.

I see it now. It makes it a bit better. Even when collapsed though, it's still a bit "in the way" in my opinion.

Split messages for recent change legend and letter tooltips

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/132477

The messages were now split into two groups, one used in the tooltips and one used in the legend, e.g. recentchanges-label-newpage and recentchanges-legend-newpage. You can modify the latter to use more concise wording. I hope this will suffice. :)
