While it could mean that in this case, this would be the only link in Jenkins that I know of that uses an the ellipsis as part of the label. Users aware of this very common convention would just be confused by this inconsistency. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/TextStyle/TextStyle.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000365-TPXREF126 "When it appears in the name of a button or a menu item, an ellipsis character (...) indicates to the user that additional information is required before the associated operation can be performed. Specifically, it prepares the user to expect the appearance of a window or dialog in which to make selections or enter information before the command executes." http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn742392.aspx#usingellipses "While menu commands are used for immediate actions, more information might be needed to perform the action. Indicate a command that needs additional information (including a confirmation) by adding an ellipsis at the end of the label." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_User_Architecture#Description "Menu commands that require parameters to proceed are suffixed with an ellipsis ("...");" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
