        OS/Version: All

[[Special:ChangeEmail]] currently

[[Special:ChangeEmail]] currently says: "Complete this form to change your
e-mail address. You will need to enter your password to confirm this change."
The password field is located right after the "New e-mail address" field and
simply titled "Password:".

The preface and this layout makes it unnecessarily easy to think it wants your
''password for your e-mail account'' and not the current wiki. (I for one
momentarily thought so despite being experienced enough to know it probably
didn't mean to.)

I suggest the "Password:" header be changed slightly, to say "Your {{SITENAME}}
password:"
