Example of the table output

Using tables to display error messages is just evil, Even more so when there is more than one, which means they could be stacked into the one table coding somehow. Example messages: newarticletext, jswarning, userinvalidcssjstitle (See attachment).

Reproduce:
Go to create tab for a .js page in the user space for a skin that doesn't exist (Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Peachey88/EditCounterOptIn.js&action=edit)

I think thats wikipedia customizing their error messages. Compare with http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=special:mypage/some_non_existant_js.js&action=edit which has no tables.
