Bug #: 30795
Summary: "Show edit toolbar" preference is confusing
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikiEditor
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
There are two preferences when WikiEditor is installed:
1. Show edit toolbar (requires JavaScript)
2. Enable enhanced editing toolbar
The first option is not related to WikiEditor and it is only relevant to the
classic toolbar. However, regular editors don't know that the new one is called
"WikiEditor" or that it is enhanced. This preference has practically no effect
if "Enable enhanced editing toolbar" is checked. A user may want to disable the
toolbar, so he will uncheck "Show edit toolbar", but the WikiEditor will stay.
That is very confusing.
I would envision something different:
* A checkbox saying "Show edit toolbar (requires JavaScript)". Should be
checked by default.
** If WikiEditor is installed, then it will have radio buttons or a dropdown
for selecting the kind of toolbar the user wants: classic or modern.
There are other possibilities, such as:
* showing the classic toolbar with Monobook and the new one with Vector.
* retiring the classic toolbar entirely.
Implementing this should be fairly easy, but i suppose that a decision from
usability people is needed.
