Bug ID: 54203
Summary: Core-ify the CleanChanges extension's intent (to
filter RecentChanges when it is busy)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: design
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Recent changes
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
As per Erik's comments in bug 53541 comment 18:
| 1) The extension itself clearly still needs UX love. The filter UI is already
| cluttered, labels like "Users (Sep: |)" and confusing icon choices
(magnify
| icon to expand links) don't help.
|
| 2) RecentChanges is a core feature. New extensions/features need to tie into
| it all the time. Maintaining an extension for some subset of wikis that
| choose it and ensuring its compatibility with all future code strikes me
as
| needless complication of our core UI.
|
| In other words, if these improvements are worthwhile (and I'm not disputing
| they are! Credit to Niklas and the translatewiki.net folks for fixing issues
| in their workflow), I would argue that they should be made in MediaWiki core,
| and consistently applied across all wikis, ideally after some more UX
| attention.
Creating here without specific judgement.
