@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE : Thanks for bringing the discussion back to phabricator.
@thiemowmde mentioned on gerrit: "I think the label of the link should not be the text "help", but a question mark icon. Really, I mean that. What is the problem with a question mark icon linking to a help page?"
I would agree with Thiemo and prefer an icon as well. I'm also happy to see discussions about that topic. Here is why an icon is not ideal in this special case:

  • The "help" link is already part of a pop up box
  • usually a question mark icon opens a pop up as seen in the screenshots below
  • a question mark icon would suggest to open another pop up on top of the pop up, which is not ideal from a user's and probably also dev perspective
  • choosing a text link on the right side keeps the expectations to the following action open, which is why it was decided to handle it like seen above

I hope that makes sense and I'm happy to hear your opinion on that. Thanks!
