Dan Garry <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] | |rg --- Comment #26 from Dan Garry <[email protected]> --- There's a few concerns I'm trying to balance here. a) The designers have reviewed some of the messages that were seen by users after account creation, and they're really unhappy with the user experience [1][2]. We want users of Wikimedia wikis to have the best possible experience on the sites. b) The engineers want to make a piece of software that's flexible and lets people do what they want with it. We don't want to put people in the position where, when they're installing MediaWiki, they have to mess around with MediaWiki's code to get it to do what they want. On Wikimedia wikis with GettingStarted installed, any other post-creation messages should be overridden. But what about cases where it's not installed? Do we want to be able to let people customise the experience? I'm CCing in Jared on this so he can give us some feedback. In particular, I'd like him to give his opinion on whether it is worthwhile including in MediaWiki the capability for someone to customise the post-registration experience, or whether he thinks it should be to redirect to the previous page in all cases.
