--- Comment #51 from Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> --- We do use jQuery UI buttons in core. mediawiki.feedback depends on jquery.ui.dialog, which in turn depends on jquery.ui.button. The fact that it looks like a link on mouseover (including URL in status bar for applicable browsers) is a powerful hint that it can be used as a link. I agree not every user will pick up on this, but enough will (even without reading about it) to justify core. As I said, there are not really any other buttons that are used the same way in MediaWiki. The ones used in a vaguely similar way are in special pages, not right there in the workflow. There are many common use cases where this speeds things up: 1. Opening diffs in a new tab 2. Copying diffs to a talk page 3. Assembling multiple diffs for some kind of report This is worth making easier. The fact that it isn't extremely hard as is is not a reason against making it easier. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
