It's much too technical. Also > > it partially mixes the concept of ToC with that of a structure editor. It > > has some widgets on the ToC (add template, add content, change order) and > > others inside the editor (Add param, del param, del template). This is > > terribly inconsistent. And makes you having to scan the screen too much. > > Add param – moved to ToC for transclusion dialog, and to bottom for template > dialog. {{done}} > Del param – currently being left on each param; we could move it, but not > sure where? > > Del template – will not available in template dialog; being left in place > right now for transclusion dialog. {{done}} [Snip] > > For new templates insertion, make an addition to templatedata > > "openedBy, closedBy", and only add the buttons if the template data says > > they are needed. > > This is a nice idea, though it could get very complex ("this template can be > opened by these four templates, or these two templates in conjunction, but > not following this template, except on Category: pages, but only with > language conversion switched on, unless it's a Tuesday…"). I've spun this out to its own bug, bug 62338. > > 3: Keyboard control. I try tab key to move focus to the "Add template" > > button next to the field. Seems this is captured by the UI, so I cannot move > > focus that way. It seems I can only click the button. BAD... Also seems that > > the add button and the delete buttons do not have a :focus state. Or rather, > > it seems that buttons have focus state, but the focusable element is the <a> > > inside it, so it doesn't really work. > > Yeah, there's some bits of keyboard work that need improvement, and the > tension between accessibility and utility is acute here. Partially done; OOjs UI buttons are not, which is bug 62337. > > 4: The layout of the params view.. I don't know how to do it better right > > now, but this needs work. too many lines/blocks, it's too cluttered. Do you > > need a double line separator if you have a heading ? > > See > https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VE-reference-dailog-design-05b.png {{done}} (In reply to Elitre from comment #4) > What about a drop-down menu with a list of most used templates (on the > project or chosen by the single user)? I think it was asked somewhere else, > but it's being brought up again on en.wp so I hope this is the right place > to mention it. I know something like this will be added to the referencing > system, but it'd be great to have it for more general purposes as well. That's bug 53590. Consequently, I'm closing this bug as "FIXED", which is not quite right but is a better disposal that the alternatives. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
