Template talk:Header blue

This template seems to be generating quite a large gap between the bottom of the header and the top of the text, which looks a bit odd, but I can't spot why... Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:05, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

What do you mean by "quite a large gap"? Can you provide a screenshot? On User:Katie Chan (WMUK)/sandbox, it's the same gap as any other h2 header (when measure from the bottom of the blue in the first case vs. horizontal rule in the second). -- Katie Chan (WMUK) (talk) 19:32, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

See [1]. The gap seems to be bigger on the main page than your sandbox page. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:44, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

That's part of Template:Main Page. The blue section headers are in a table layout as table header <th> that has its own padding (margin?) set. -- Katie Chan (WMUK) (talk) 20:01, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Ah, OK. I can't spot where that padding/margin is being set there, though... Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:19, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

If there's any specific styling, it's part of the standard mediawiki/vector theme skin CSS that have not been overridden. On further investigation, it's not just one padding/margin tied to one specific element. Taking "About Wikimedia UK" section as an example, there's a margin (~9px) under the blue bits as part of h2, which is surrounded by 2px of padding as part of th. Next there is margin (~5px) at the top of the first paragraph of text, plus that tiny bit as part of line-height. Add in 2px of padding as part of the td cell of content. I'm also not convinced there's not a few extra pixels hiding in between different elements because the number doesn't seems to add up, but that might just be limitation of Chrome Developer Tools. -- Katie Chan (WMUK) (talk) 21:01, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Main Page/Sandbox has less white space under the blue headers. What do you (and anyone else reading) think? -- Katie Chan (WMUK) (talk) 12:52, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

That looks good. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 13:32, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

I've made the changes live. -- Katie Chan (WMUK) (talk) 15:56, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
