In the side bar of normal context pages, in the "Search" Combo box, different skins inconsistently use, or do not use, different elements of text. These are: Classic: 1. (nothing) [..user input box..] [Button {{Wikimedia:Go}}] [Button {{Wikimedia:Search}}] 2. (nothing) [..user input box..] [Button {{Wikimedia:Go}}] [Button {{Wikimedia:Search}}] Nostalgia: 1. (nothing) [..user input box..] [Button {{Wikimedia:Search}}] 2. (nothing) [..user input box..] [Button {{Wikimedia:Go}}] [Button {{Wikimedia:Search}}] Cologne Blue: 1. {{Wikimedia:qbfind}} [..user input box..] [Button {{Wikimedia:Go}}] [Button {{Wikimedia:Search}}] 2. {{Wikimedia:qbfind}} [..user input box..] [Button {{Wikimedia:Go}}] [Button {{Wikimedia:Search}}] Chick, Simple, Monobook, MySkin: 1. {{Wikimedia:Search}} [..user input box..] [Button {{Wikimedia:Go}}] [Button {{Wikimedia:Search}}] Most specifically the last Version, where the combo is labelled with the "Search" button text, is imho hardly usable in many languages. I suggest using the "Cologne Blue" format identically throughout all skins, since it's the most flexible one. I also suggest adding a 4th, trailing text, for those languages that need one. Suggested default values: Wikimedia:qbfind = 'Search for:' / 'Find' / 'Locate' / etc. Wikimedia:Go = 'as page title' Wikimedia:Search = 'inside page texts' new trailer = '' See also Bug #577
Removing bogus dupe; this is nothing to do with the buttons.
Fixed in r16716.
