Bug ID: 43170
Summary: Sidebar toolbar is too crowded
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.21-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: design
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
1. What links here
2. Related changes
3. Upload file
4. Special pages
5. Printable version
6. Permanent link
7. Page information
--
8. Browse properties
9. Short URL
A rule of thumb is that more than seven +/- 2 units makes a menu harder to use.
In this case 7 links already come from core, leaving little to none space for
extensions to add their own.
There are two items that are not related to the current page (upload a file and
special pages) mixed between items that pertain to the current page.
Some ideas:
1) Upload a file could be integrated to page editors and removed from the
sidebar.
2) What links here and Related changes could be integrated to Page information
3) Browser properties could also be integrated to Page information (via hooks,
since it is an extension)
4) Permanent link and Short URL are kind of related, but perhaps they could be
accessible from somewhere else then the toolbox. Same for printable version.
