replies: text: True, but if you stay on the secure server, and do all your editing there, it's not a problem. Hopefully the issues with the secure server will eventually be fixed, and perhaps someday soon there will be no more unsecured login .. We can only hope. AmiDaniel (talk) 21:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Added a message 

message: This article points to the Password strength article. I suggest it be removed because the first thing you see on this page is 3 tags recommending it for improvement. Is this an article we want to point to after login? I've nominated it for WP:ACID. I would relist it after it becomes a good article or a least loses those tags. Gutworth 02:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. The templates were added soon after it was added to this message (see the [ version at the time it was added]), since when it's already been [ greatly improved]. We need to point users somewhere that explains password strength, and that's the highest-quality reference available  despite its informal tone and missing references. —{admin} Pathoschild 03:19:16, 08 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, the article certainly didn't look like that yesterday. I may drop a note on its talk page asking if they would mind condensing the three tags down into one -- I find most of these meta tags tend to just be more of a nuisance than anything useful. AmiDaniel (talk) 03:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Ok, it's getting better. However, I still think it should go from this message until it's at least cited. Gutworth 20:51, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This link suggests that Firefox 1.0 might not respect clear: both on empty DIV (which is  in this case). I don't think a lot of people have Firefox 1.0 these days, maybe you could do some testing and suggest a fix, like using  instead? By the way, as far as I know, you're not supposed to put {editprotected} until you have exact fix. —AlexSm 19:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Displaced bullets in Firefox 

message: Please remove the quotation marks in the last bullet around commit to read "As a safeguard you may commit to your identity..."  They are incorrect and unnecessary.  Reywas92Talk 17:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree.  I have changed them to single quotes rather than double quotes, as the phrase is a euphemism/piece of jargon rather than a direct quote, but I believe that the quotes are grammatically appropriate, as the word is not in its common usage here.  If others support their removal, however, I shall of course oblige. Happy‑melon 20:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually, there is no real difference in meaning between single and double quotation marks, for which reason I suggest reverting this change, considering that Wikipedia favours double quotation marks in its style guidelines. Waltham, The Duke of 15:31, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Small change 

message: The login text says "If your password only contains letters or only numbers, ..."  This is grammatically incorrect.  It should read something like "If your password contains only letters or only numbers", "If your password contains either only letters or only numbers", or "If your password contains only letters or contains only numbers". Personally, I prefer the second version (in bold).  It's a compromise between clarity and concision. —Codrdan (talk) 16:12, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  Hi. If you take a look at the section below, you can see that this MediaWiki message will soon no longer be used in the site interface. At this point, rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic seems like a waste of time.

thread_title: Horribly unparallel

message: :Currently, this says As a safeguard you may "commit" to your identity by adding a cryptographic hash to your user page as instructed here.

replies: text: Hi. Your reasoning is good. But on the login page where this message is transcluded, there is a H2 (Log in) under the H1. The accessibility improvement is for the login page, not this MediaWiki system page. It should be a H3, definitely. Dodoïste (talk) 14:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Accessibility, make correct headers 

message: Hey, would anyone object if I temporarily replace this message (except for the secure server link) with a call to try the new login?

replies: text: Okay, no one has objected to this, but I realized that this message is pretty cluttered, so I'm going to try it out via loginstart, rather than loginend.
