Do note that the UI uses MedaWiki messages, and as such can be shortened locally with ease.
I know. But I think a good default is necessary: a) In order to evaluate different ways of placing the new inteface items. I did think for quite a while why I suddenly was against your UI scheme with text below the title line (although I had a similar suggest in my first mockups). And the reason was that it is just because it is a too fancy box with too much content (beside that restricting its width to 80% does not use available screen space as good as possible). b) Less customization needed by users of this extension. For example although I like my KDE desktop very much, I dislike the defaults most of the Linux distributions are applying to it, so I have to tweak my desktop first. Most of the users don't do that (ok wiki admins aren't most of the users but still).
Maybe I could make an option to disable the specific ratings and bars.
This would be definitely a help as it would make your scheme much more concise (and thus favorable) in a very easy setup such as the intended two level flagging of de.wikipedia.
