to reflect this.
You'll notice that some of the language has been simplified, and the
password fields have been removed because this list has public archives and
the subscriber list is only viewable by list admins, so there's no real
need to know your password for this list. Unfortunately this still reverts
to old design for other languages but I'm working on seeing if there's a
way to fix that.
Isarra (and anyone else) can you see any issues with the newer design in
terms of usability? As a reminder the source is at

Propagation is welcome. Thank you TheHelpfulOne for the original push
and to the other feedback reporters!

Can't be the default because it's English only, isn't it. A workaround
could be to remove custom linguistic content (for instance make "About
Wikimedia Foundation" just "Wikimedia" and point it to some translatable
page on Meta), but I've no idea how localisation of all this works.
Well, this *recommended* template could substitute the current default
which
doesn't offer localized links either. An
improvement is an improvement,
and
I think the improvement for users is huge.
Then it is up to the admins of each list to implement this template or
not,
to take it as is or with modifications e.g. links
to Spanish content for
your Spanish speaking list. It's just a piece of HTML to be pasted in a
web
form.
Just give me a day or so to implement feedback and clean the code, and
then
the template will be ready to be applied by list
admins with a simple
copy&paste, with optional customization.
