I often use the Proofread Page extension to proofread books in Wikisource. The Vector skin hides the Previous, Next and Index buttons under the little menu with "Move". This is very inconvenient - these buttons are used much more often than "Move" and they don't use a lot of screen space, because they look just like little arrows. I am sure that it's important for many books, but i want to give a particular example. In the book that i am mostly proofreading, Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar, it is very important to have access to the original scanned pages and to be able to browse them forward and backward, because the display of Biblical Hebrew characters in the digital text may be faulty and the reader must be able to compare the digital text to the scanned page. So the arrows must be readily available and visible to people who read the book and who aren't otherwise experienced with MediaWiki interface - students and professors. Needless to say, they are useful to editors and proofreaders, too.
Bug as filed has been fixed some time ago in the trunk version of ProofreadPage, which I staged at http://prototype.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/Page:Ielayoutfail.png/2 . This code will be deployed to Wikimedia sites at the next software update, which will be really soon now. ProofreadPage's JS does have other nasty issues messing up the edit form when the enhanced toolbar is enabled, I'm looking into those.
