Bug ID: 56443
Summary: ConfirmEmail displays "requires that you validate"
even if it's already valid.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Email
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
If you email is already validated and you go to Special:ConfirmEmail, it shows
the emailauthenticated message (which makes sense), confirmemail_text), and
includes a button that allows you to validate your email.
The latter to make no sense. It is confusing to say, "Your email address was
authenticated [...]" (emailauthenticated), but then "{{SITENAME}} requires that
you validate your email address before using email features".
The whole page should fork based on whether the email is validated, and if it
is, there should be no button. Presumably as a result of this oddity, English
Wikipedia has an override which adds, "To check whether you have already
confirmed, please see your preferences." Of course, that is just putting work
onto the user.
While we're at it, we should consistently use "confirmed", rather than
introduce another word ("authenticated") into the UI.
