Bug #: 37285
Summary: Article Feedback Forms - Links to Help/FAQs
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ArticleFeedbackv5
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
On both feedback forms (the current Option 1 and the new Option 6 form), the
help links need to be different, based on your user rights. These are the links
that you get when you click on the question mark icon in Option 1 -- or on
'What's this?' in Option 6 -- then click on 'Learn more' in the flyout panel.
(This also relates to the Help button at the top of the feedback page, which
should function in the same way.)
These 'Learn more >' links are supposed to be context-sensitive, so that you
get a different link if you are a reader, editor, monitor or oversighter, as
shown below:
* Feedback page help for Readers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_Feedback_Tool/Version_5/Help/Feedback_page
* Feedback page help for Editors
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_Feedback_Tool/Version_5/Help/Feedback_page_Editors
* Feedback page help for Monitors
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_Feedback_Tool/Version_5/Help/Feedback_page_Monitors
* Feedback page help for Oversighters
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_Feedback_Tool/Version_5/Help/Feedback_page_Oversighters
These links seem to be incorrect for Option 1 on prototype, where 'Learn more'
now takes you to the Editor version of the FAQ, even if you are logged out.
This should be fixed prior to the next deployment.
Also, please check that all links work as intended on the Option 6 form (which
I haven't been able to test on prototype lately -- could we have a URL for that
form on prototype, so we can test it directly?), as well as on the Help link at
the top of the feedback page.
Oliver and I will be fleshing out these help/FAQ pages in coming days, but
wanted to make sure that we have a general framework in place right away, now
that we are making the feedback page more visible. Also note that we will no
longer be linking to a general FAQ/help page (now at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_Feedback_Tool/Version_5/Help),
but use the 4 pages above for all help-related links.
In coming days, we will create shorter URLs for these 4 pages (removing the
'Feedback_page_' prefix, since these pages will now be about both feedback
forms and feedback pages). At that point, we will want to update these new URLs
in code. But the current URLs listed above will do for now, as a temporary
solution.
