Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> --- I don't know, Violation of expectations established by the desktop interface seems pretty objective to me (The extent expectations are violated is subjective, but there is a subjective aspect to how serious a bug is for all bugs). In a more formal form, Scott's complaint is Underlying assumption: *The purpose of a mobile site is to allow users used to the desktop site to be able to use the Wikipedia they know and love from a mobile device. *Ensuring consistency and meeting common user expectations is a key part of good usability Expected behaviour: *Design/UI paradigms are consistent between the mobile site and the desktop site. Otherwise a user used to the desktop site will have trouble with the mobile site. Actual behaviour: *The watchlist UI in the mobile site default opens to an alphabetical list of articles [In MF's defense, I believe which one it opens to first is remembered]. This is a bookmarked-article-for-later-viewing paradigm. The watchlist in the desktop site gives a list of articles recently changed. The use case here is articles-I-care-about-deep-in-my-heart that I want to know when somebody changes. These two usecases mismatch, so its confusing to the user who expects the underlying purposes of various features to stay the same between desktop and mobile. *Arguably one use case is more suited to an editor, the other to a reader. How serious this mismatch of expectations is, in light of the other option being available after a click, is probably open to debate. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
