--- Comment #6 from Daniel Friesen <[email protected]> 2011-10-22 13:24:45 UTC --- I think limiting this to the account creation page is wrong in the first place. When a user visits a wiki in another language for the first time, the entire ui is in another language... how does the user even reach the create account page when he can't read any of the links? Sure, the links are in consistent locations, and you can modify the url. But what if the user is new, not a power user. What if they haven't been around and we've changed things around a little. Relying on the user to stumble around just to get to that point is a bad experience to put users through, and not a good level of usability. Rather than talking about adding this to the userpage. I think there should be a way to change the current language from ANY page in the wiki. So you can change your lang, see where the login / create account link is, follow it, and by the time you're on the create account page it ALREADY knows what language it's going to set your default to. Oh, and user preferences? I just logged into a foreign lang Wikipedia, I have NO clue which one of those 6 mystery links leads to the preferences page. My first guess was wrong. That would be a bad UI. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
