Bug #: 40511
Summary: Special:FeedbackDashboard 'hide' function should be
extended to all autoconfirmed editors
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Moodbar
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: swall...@wikimedia.org
CC: agarr...@wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Comments from MoodBar can be hidden/unhidden by sysops currently.
Per community request on English Wikipedia,[1][2] and the nosedive in the
number of responses on the Dashboard recently,[3] we need to widen the scope of
who can hide feedback from the queue.
Originally, the 'hide' function was merely to deal with abusive comments.
However, the community is having a hard time keeping up with the volume of
comments, and would like the option to hide or mark as low quality those
comments which do not really merit a detailed response from a human being.
Extending the hide functionality to all autoconfirmed editors was actually one
idea previously suggested (see bug #32799), and there is a more pressing need
to do that now. This is a pretty low risk change, because this is not deletion,
but simply hides the content of items in the list.
