Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Feature suggestion for UI: make the "cancel" link
onan edit page a button

I've just been setting up an intranet MediaWiki, and it's already very
popular and making me popular in turn. Thanks, MediaWiki developers!

A co-worker just made a suggestion which strikes me as a good idea for
MediaWiki in general:

You know how the edit pages have "cancel" as a clickable link? It
should really be a button. Web forms generally have "cancel" buttons
rather than links. (He didn't notice "cancel" was there at first and
was wondering if he needed to hit the "back" button.)

Thoughts? Objections to this? Worth filing in Bugzilla as a feature
request?
