Bug ID: 54862
Summary: Ability to change preferences without leaving current
page
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When a user goes to change a preference, they are usually in one of the
following states:
1. On a page that the preference would affect, and they wish to change the
preference and have the change be effective asap.
2. About to go to a page, and know they need to change a preference in order
that it is rendered the way they want.
An example of both of those scenarios is bug 52355, where a user wants to
enable the VisualEditor on the current page, or enable it on the next page they
visit (especially if it is a redlink).
Currently the typical workflow is
0. The user on a mediawiki page
1. Load special:preferences
2. Change the preference and Save (which loads preferences panel again)
3. Press 'Back' button twice
4. Reload or click a link
Desired workflow:
1. Open a pref panel in the current page
2. Change the pref and close the panel
3. The changes become effective immediately, if that can be achieved without
reloading the page and/or loosing any user data, or a small notice displayed
near the preferences panel button to inform the users their changes will be
effective by reloading.
