Bug #: 38941
Summary: Make it easier to undo an edit for new users
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Based on anecdotal evidence, I think a lot of people don't edit because they're
afraid that they'll break something. One way to mitigate this fear is to make
it simpler to revert (or undo) an edit. If people realize that they can easily
undo whatever they do, they'll feel more comfortable trying to edit.
Currently in order to undo your own edit, the workflow is something like this
after successfully making an edit:
* click "history" page tab
* click "undo" link next to your edit
* load edit window again and display whether the edit can be undone
* scroll down and press "save page"
A possible way to make it easier might be to add an "(undo)" option to a
post-edit feedback dialog box. "Thank you for your edit! (undo)" Or something
like that.
There are likely other ways to make it easier. One or two should be
implemented.
