Bug #: 30812
Summary: Add a dismiss link to copyright warning
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Over the years, the copyright warning (MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning)
which appears on every edit page between the input area and the 'Save' button
has developed into a big box in many wikis, e.g. in de.wikipedia.org. This
takes up a lot of screen space. Advanced users who are bothered by the warning
have started to hide the warning via a personal CSS setting.
It would be useful to add a 'dismiss' button to this GUI element, like the
'dismiss' in the sitenotice (Extension:DismissableSiteNotice). The dismissal
information should be stored via a cookie. It could also work as a show/hide
toggle so that when hidden, a 'show' link would be visible that would make the
warning box reappear.
A developer might perhaps check if it would be possible to make this extension
reusable for other GUI elements.
As an alternative to cookies, it could also be programmed as a new setting in
the user's settings: "Show copyright warning on every edit", default TRUE.
