Summary: Special:Log to include useful groupings of logs
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
As the number of features grows, the list of logs at [[Special:Log]] has also
grown. It currently includes some 18 logs with some omitted (oversight) and
others proposed for addition (eg bug 17806). This availability of data is good
but has a difficult side; users checking out editing issues now have to check
several logs on any given point, to be sure they are seeing "the full story".
This comes to a head with deletion where a deletion might be in any of the
delete, suppress, oversight, or (proposed) revdel, logs. Or indeed have
actually been a page move, perhaps with move log redaction or username
suppression.
I would like to suggest that the dropdown list of logs be enhanced, to help
handle this.
Here are 2 ways this might be done in the interface. In the first, the dropdown
box is still one long list, but has groups highlighted in the list. In the
second, there is a dropdown for log category and then a second box to select
the log (or "all") within that category.
As an aside, also simplify to "all logs"; if the user can't see a log, then
just don't have the log listed or show results from it.
