--- Comment #41 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #38) > I disagree - autocomplete is great where the search-space is huge and > rapidly-changing, but in a restricted (and externally-set, relatively-static) > context, it's better to provide some form of latent discoverability than > expect users to know what it might be called (or start with). A full index (e.g., [[Special:Tags]]) allows users to browse through all tags (in the same way that [[Special:AllPages]] allows users to browse through all page titles). The solutions being proposed here seem short-sighted. While there may "only" be about 90 tags today (which is an overwhelming number in a drop-down menu), does anyone expect this number to stay relatively low or decrease in the future? The reason autocomplete (or suggestions) are already used within MediaWiki for page titles apply to this input field as well. We should also note that Bugzilla itself uses an autocomplete/suggestions system for its keywords field. A drop-down menu seems like a non-starter to me. -- 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
