Bug ID: 43063
Summary: Visual Editor Link editing: Suppress "Web link" part
in pick list if a wiki page link already exists
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User Interface
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Present situation: the Visual Editor, when clicking on an existing Wiki-Link,
provides the chain-link icon which in turn opens a dialogue which contains a
pick list. In the pick list two sections exist: "Existing page" (value e.g.
"Pretoria") and "Web link" (e.g. "http://Pretoria";).
The present dialogue is good enough for creating new links. However, for
existing links it is somewhat confusing to offer a nonsense http:// link as an
equally valid alternative to an existing or previously confirmed wiki page.
I suggest to keep the present behaviour for new links, but for existing
wiki-page-links suppress the "web link" part of the pick list. It will still be
possible to enter URLs directly in the dialogue box, the enhancement is only
about suppressing it in the pick list.
