Bug #: 30649
Summary: Make UploadWizard form validation more intuitive
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: UploadWizard
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
User testing shows that users get stumped by the form validation in UW, and
have to do a fair amount of tracking to debug the form, especially when dealing
with multiple files.
A couple of ideas to consider:
1) Trevor's suggestion: Having a consistently aligned marker (arrow, icon, or
otherwise) which can be used to more quickly vertically scan for issues in the
form.
2) Perhaps focus the first field that has validation issues. The jump inside
the form might cause its own problems, but given that an error could be
anywhere in a very long form, combined with markers, this might make it more
straightforward to start scanning from the place where the first issue occurs.
And, not sure the (*) markers are actually helpful, given that at this point,
all but the "more options" fields are required. They may add to the clutter in
the form with no material benefit in terms of user interaction. I've certainly
never seen a user tester take them into account.
