Bug #: 28555
Summary: Reconsider the usage of the "Beta features" section in
the Editing tab
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Low
Component: User preferences
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Currently on MediaWiki projects there are two checkboxes under "Beta features"
in the "Editing" tab:
* Enable enhanced editing toolbar
* Enable dialogs for inserting links, tables and more
In the English Wikipedia the "Beta features" title was changed to "Usability
features", which more or less makes sense, because both of these options are
not beta features for a year already. (In many other languages it's still
called "Beta features".) It would make even more sense to simply remove this
section and put both of these options in the main list of checkboxes.
However, the "Beta features" section can be kept and used for actual Beta
features. For example, there's the option to "Use live preview (requires
JavaScript) (experimental)" - if it's "experimental", it can be called "a beta
feature", even though it's not directly related to the 2009-2010 Vector Beta.
