Created attachment 12893 [details] Lack of "remove template" button in a 1366x480px Firefox 22 window on Xubuntu Linux In the Visual Editor template/transclusion editor the list of parameters obscures the "remove template" button so that it can only be clicked if you enter the name of a non-existant parameter into the search box. See attachment to bug 51671 Even this does not help when the window is too small for it to be displayed (see attachment). Both problems could be solved by either: *making the window scroll (separately from making the parameter list scroll); and/or *moving the "Remove template" button next to the "save changes" button (which would probably be more logical than placing it under "options" - see also bug 51135).
The fix to bug 51739 has made this less of an issue, in that the remove template button can be accessed by scrolling to the very bottom of the list. I still think the button would be better placed next to the "save changes" button though. Changing from a bug to an enhancement accordingly.

The problem is that button removes the single template that the pane is about, not the entire transclusion (which can cover from one template to thousands) - the dialog footer buttons are meant to apply to the entire dialog's subject, not just the bit you're currently looking at. However, maybe it could be up in the top-right, alongside the name of the template you've currently got selected?

Ah rights, yes that does make sense > However, maybe it could be up in the top-right, alongside the name of the > template you've currently got selected? Right aligned on the same line as the template name / parameter name (for remove parameter) does seem like the best. Need to make sure that it doesn't collide with a long template/parameter name though.
The button has now been moved to the right of the template or parameter's name.
