Hi everyone,
In the "CSS fu" thread, we outlined a few problems with the positioning of
the lock icon. This is particularly pronounced in Monobook, where the lock
covers up the "[dismiss]" link on the notification for many of us (maybe
everyone):

[...snip...]
So, here's the plan we'd like to pursue:
1. Short term: Adam is working out a CSS hack that puts the icon somewhere
marginally sensible.
2. Longer term: we'd like to have a standard area in the skin for things
like this lock, the "featured article" star, and so on. This is more
complicated than it would seem on the surface, because some of those icons
get placed there via template while others are placed there by something in
the PHP.
FYI, on zhwiki we're using a script to arrange those icons. See the template
[1] and the implemention in site js [2] (search for "topicon").
However I still like this function to be implemented in MediaWiki rather
than in user space.
