Thinking about Wikipedia layout, just about every longer page has an
image, infobox, or other "data overview template". All these have one
thing in common: They are located in the upper right corner of the
page.

The summary box of the stable versions feature is in the upper right
corner of the page.

Anyone else see a layout nightmare approaching?

This is not a feature, it's a bug of MediaWiki which appears because
FlaggedRevisions are not in the core of the code, but an extension.
This leads to the problem that although this is absolutely not the
intention, the icon cannot be placed outside of the content box, as it
was planned to be. If someone could fix this bug, than that would be
great. And the icon would no longer be in the content box.

See also a thread on WikiTech named "Help with CSS in Flagged
Revisions" where this problem is discussed.

Furthermore, it is my opinion that it would be nice if the box that
appears when you click on +/- would not move the text around, but just
overlap it. So, if some CSS-wizard could do that, that would make me
happy :-)

Best wishes,
