  • There is a notice: By clicking "Reply", you agree to our Terms of Use and agree to irrevocably release your text under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and GFDL. I think it is irrelevant, intrusive and annoying. Terms of Use already covers this, I think. Why this notice needed everywhere? It makes loss of lot of space as well.
  • [] Watch This Page can be moved to top, next to Visual/Source OR next to Cancel/Reply.
  • And Summary:[Box....] can be single line.
  • Please think about making whole thing smaller. BTW, I liked Reply tool and its development in positive direction. Regards,

Regarding point 1, the community takes licensing very serious and while it is in the ToU, we want people to make informed and active decisions. The community has on multiple occasions actively demanded these notices are shown as edits are made, when WMF designers forgot about them.

  • Legal insists; we don't have a choice.
  • Editors asked for this extra/redundant watch button.
  • The Summary:[Box] is one line – on my computer screen/width. Would you like to post (or e-mail) a screenshot to me, if you see something different?
  • Do you want a smaller box for typing, or do you want everything else smaller (e.g., buttons)?
