haha, yes, if you express it like that i agree. i was suggesting this more as a permanent solution, in the lines of googles "images" tab when presenting search results. it is well established and simple to grasp. one click less to get what one wants, one option less. the user always has both choices. bugs of course stay bugs. such a media tab would additionally allow to not only present images out of the article, but some search result out of commons if desired. later on it might allow a new workflow for editing by selecting one of the images and have a "include in the article" choice. the search box could be adjusted to find text or media depending which tab is selected. rupert _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
