https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42138 This, that and the other at.li...@live.com.au changed: What|Removed |Added CC||at.li...@live.com.au --- Comment #4 from This, that and the other at.li...@live.com.au --- There have been a lot of complaints about this on the enwiki feedback page. One especially interesting point was raised by the ever-wise John Broughton: --- [Save page] is the same label as on the button, in the old editing interface, that completed the edit session. Lots of effort has been made, over the years, to encourage editors to write an edit summary before they click Save page, and now VE is designed exactly the opposite. The button ought to be labeled Finish edit or Continue or Final steps or just about anything other than Save page. The current problem is even worse than just one poorly labeled button. In VE, after clicking Save page, a dialog box appears that also has a Save page button. So now an editor has to understand that the two Save page buttons do not do the same thing. And documentation (when it's written) is going to have to clarify which Save page button is being referred to - unless the label on the first occurrence of Save page is changed, as it should be. --- The button label on enwiki was modified to Finish edit per [[MediaWiki:Visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog]]. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

It doesn't clarify or improve the user experience, it only makes it more mysterious. I'd prefer we look for another solution, but I think the current situation is better than having ... tacked on to the label. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
