Erik Moeller <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #13 from Erik Moeller <[email protected]> --- We've been kicking around the section editing behavior a fair bit, and we recognize the need for more flexibility, in part because the mouseover interface doesn't translate well to touch-based user interfaces. (We also recognize that section-editing in VisualEditor overall is still a bit of a crutch, but that's a larger discussion.) What James and I would like to suggest here is a multi-way pref: Section editing links (x) Hybrid edit / edit source links [default] ( ) Edit sections via VisualEditor ( ) Edit sections as wikitext ( ) Disable section editing The section editing feature is already disable-able, so we could just merge the pref. Having three modes may seem like overkill at this stage but James feels that having an option for VisualEditor specifically at least puts a flag in the ground that we want to continue to improve section editing usability. If folks think that's too much, we could just have a single [ ] Support section editing via VisualEditor checkbox as this point, enabled by default, which turns on or off the hybrid mode. We don't love the [ edit ] [ edit source ] static links, because it feels cluttered and not the kind of user experience that we want to support. Thoughts? If either of these feels like a reasonable path forward, we can re-use this bug to track it, or start a new one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
