Cleaning out old comments and changing display of restricted pages. Splarka suggested marking restricted pages with a star bullet rather than bolding them.
I don't like this change. It's inconsistent with the way we usually do interfaces (we practically never use images to convey info), and the star is also a little off-center. It looks kind of ugly to me. It will break if users have images disabled, or of course if they're using a non-visual browser or one that doesn't support CSS: there's no graceful fallback.
I suggest going back to bolding them, but rather than using <li class="mw-specialpagerestricted">, use <strong class="mw-specialpagerestricted"> so that the restricted pages are emphasized regardless of visual CSS support. This is more consistent with the way we normally distinguish elements of lists in the interface and also more accessible.
No. Don't use html to set the difference, use a dedicated style. Should we use <font color="red" class="new"> for new links just in case they don't support CSS?? What's the point in emphasizing/bolding it anyway? I'd favour an italic for that...
