--- Comment #4 from Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> 2012-10-11 01:00:33 UTC --- There seem to be several issues related to our feature request to show your last selected filter each time you view a new feedback page. As reported in Bug 40938, if you log out with the oversight request filter and log back in, the system appears confused and gives the error message: "No feedback has been posted yet." This could be related to the new feature . As discussed above, when you go to a page which has no posts for your selected filter, showing an empty list, there should be a message explaining "There is no feedback for the filter you selected.", right below the filter dropdown menu. Otherwise, it is a bit confusing to go to a feedback page and see nothing, which could happen often if you selected an obscure filter. Another related issue is that if you click on 'feedback' for any post on the Central feedback page, you see that particular feedback post highlighted in blue on its article page, but that can look pretty weird if it doesn't belong in the proper filter category, as shown in the last screenshot below. (It says the filter is 'oversight requested', but the highlighted item that appears doesn't belong in that category, which is weird.) One possible solution to this last issue would be to never attempt to show a highlighted blue post if it doesn't belong in the selected filter. Another possible solution to all of the last three issues above would be to no longer attempt to show your last selected filter when you load a new feedback page, but to always show the 'Most relevant' default. This is not ideal for power users, who may want to keep the same settings across pages. But it is simpler to understand for regular users, who may be confused by all these strange filtered pages. Showing all feedback pages with the default 'Most relevant' filter may be the most practical solution for now, given the issues above. Perhaps we could experiment with this simpler setting for a week or so, to see if editors like it. If they don't, this would give us more time to make the last selected filter function work properly. Let us know what you think is a practical solution for now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
