Summary: merge "Disable AJAX suggestions" and "Enable enhanced
search suggestions"
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User preferences
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
In MediaWiki there are two preferences: "Disable AJAX suggestions" and "Enable
enhanced search suggestions (Vector skin only)".
They are problematic for several reasons:
Most average users don't know what AJAX is. This word just shouldn't be there.
It should be just called "search suggestions".
The first option says "Disable", but the second one says "Enable". It's
confusing - both should say "Enable". "Disable AJAX suggestions" should become
"Enable search suggestions", and the value of the checkbox must be reversed for
all users.
But better yet, the two options should be merged into one. "Disable AJAX
suggestions" doesn't seem to do anything useful in Vector, no matter whether
it's checked or not, and "Enable enhanced search suggestions (Vector skin
only)", as its name implies is relevant only for Vector. Separating them may
have been useful in the early days of Vector, but now that a year after the
rollout Vector is rather stable, this doesn't seem to be useful any more.
