Bug ID: 50854
Summary: The template edit button for existing template can be
easy to not notice
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Editing Tools

Mobile Platform: ---
I've noticed a couple of times that users on VE/Feedback have said that they
'couldn't change the block and that it became blue', which I think is an
indication they were unable to spot the template edit button.
Now I noticed that the edit button anchor for templates is always at the top
right. On 100% width block elements, the content can often be completely left
aligned however, and the button is then to the FAR right of the page, making it
easy to miss.
For instance, take the {{Refbegin}}-{{refend} block on this page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warehouse_control_system?veaction=edit on a
fairly large monitor.
It might be nice if we could come up with some idea to more intelligently place
the button. if( block && !width && computedWidth > 160em && text_align == left)
then align button left
Point 2:
Also, the white button on the blue mask on top of the white page is not the
highest contrasting style. Styling it stronger might also make it easier to
discover for users.
Point 3:
The puzzle piece in that context doesn't give the user much info. Why not a
simple Edit logo ? I think that would be way easier to understand.
