--- Comment #2 from Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> 2012-10-02 20:24:29 UTC --- Thanks, Matthias! I appreciate your clarifications and recommendations. How hard would it be to show the last filter you just used on any feedback page? (instead of resorting back to 'most relevant' on every article feedback page) That is what we had in mind when we filed this Bugzilla ticket, and it would be consistent with what we do on Page Curation, where we remember your last filter and sort order and display it that way until we change the settings again. We are not asking for that different settings be stored for each article (which would max out the cookie pretty fast, as you point out). But it would allow users who prefer a particular setting to use it across a wide range of feedback pages, to suit their review style. This would make for a better user experience, because users could customize it as they see fit. You are correct in pointing out that showing 'All comments' to readers would cause them to monitor gthe feedback more, but I also fear that it would expose them to some pretty bad comments, which could cause an adverse reaction that would make them less likely to sign up or edit. The idea is to surface the best feedback so they have a good impression about Wikipedia, rather than show the worst comments and scare them away from participating. Hence the need to show 'Most Relevant' as the first default, before people start playing with other filters (including readers, not just editors). One other thing that would help with this change would be to display a message when a given filter is empty for a particular page, so that people understand why the feedback page is empty. Something like: "There are no feedback posts for the filter you selected. Would you like to select the <Most Relevant> or <All comments> filter instead?" (these links would cause the corresponding filter to be shown instead) Thanks! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
