Misplaced Pages

Revert

{{editprotected}}

Can someone please revert this page to the version that says 'You have new messages (last change)'? The current version ('Your user talk page has been edited') should at least have been discussed here first, and it would be very confusing for new users ('so what?' is the obvious response). Even a milder version was reverted earlier. --ais523 18:58, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

If this change is accepted, MediaWiki talk:Newmessageslink will need to be reverted too. --ais523 18:59, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I am strongly opposed to this unilateral change. – Chacor 19:04, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Reason? J Di 19:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

That it was unilateral? We shouldn't be making changes to well-established things without discussion. – Chacor 19:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Unilateral changes are made without discussion all the time. I'll start a discussion on one of the village pumps if discussion is what the people want. J Di 19:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

There wasn't any consensus for a change, so yes, please start a discussion. – Chacor 19:23, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

But messages shouldn't be making assumptions; not all edits to user talk pages are new messages. J Di 19:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

CSS id needed

I would like to add a CSS id to this message. We currently have some user scripts that do things with this message, but those scripts only work in some skins since different skins put different tags around this message. And none of the skins add an id, just a class, so it is very inefficient to find the item from javascript. For that reason we usually see to that all MediaWiki messages have a CSS id. I want to change this message to this:

<span id="mw-newmessages">You have $1 ($2).</span>
