One of my goals for the year at the Foundation is "Development of a MediaWiki Style Guide." To that end, I have completed the first draft of one section, focused on Forms and Form elements.
I think it's a good first draft. :-) My only comment is that some of the suggestions in the guide don't match current practice; for example, the location of the "discard changes" button vs. the "save page" button. (Or to be even pickier, the fact that "discard changes" is a button at all.) For now it's fine for there to be mismatches, but at some point the guide should be aligned with current practice. In most cases, I imagine this will mean updating MediaWiki (it certainly needs UI work), but in some cases I imagine it will mean updating the guide. (I foresee strong objections to moving the "save page" button in particular simply due to inertia.)
