Bug ID: 58051
Summary: Special:AllPages pagination is in the silliest format
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When you go to [[Special:AllPages]], it gives you a list of links if the list
is small enough. Else it gives you a list of alphabetical ranges.
These ranges have two (identical-target) links, separated by the word "to" -
e.g. "<a>Aardvark</a> to <a>Baboon</a>". This is basically the most confusing
way we could have built this feature, because it looks like you're linking to
the two pages and there is no obvious way to get to a list of all the pages.
I would suggest:
1. Make the links bigger. Make them big old blocks, with padding and
everything. Make them span the whole page. I want HUGE click targets.
2. Link the whole message, not just bits of it. This makes basically everything
easier, because the message can take two uncomplicated strings as arguments,
and it can be ->text()ed instead of ->parse() or ->plain()ed.
3. Maybe indicate how many links are on each page. Could be useful.
4. Hover effects on the links would be fantastic. Just saying.
Let's get this done.
