The issue doesn't occur in 1.17 so look at a missing category in a wiki with a newer version of MW, like http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Category:Users_in_London The structure of the HTML is <div id="bodyContent"> <div class="noarticletext"> </div> </div> <div id="mw-pages"> </div> But it should be (like it is in 1.17, in edit mode and for existing categories) <div id="bodyContent"> <div class="noarticletext"> </div> <div id="mw-pages"> </div> </div> In Vector this causes a font size that is too big (#bodyContent scales down to 80% which don't apply to the page list). Also gadgets that look for the content in #bodyContent break.
Looks as if this might be caused by r91518. Adding a note to that revision.
Yep, looks like. It's trying to close out a <div class="mw-content-ltr">... which has not been opened in this case.
Correct behavior is probably to open a sub-div instead of to "close the previous div, show the headings in user language, then open a new div with the page content language again"
r96886 clears this up for me; please double-check for funky edge cases though!
Merged as r96888 on 1.18.
