[Bug 13627] Special:MovePage's Reason field should only be one line
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13627 --- Comment #29 from Isarra zhoris...@gmail.com --- This should definitely be fixed. Two lines of textarea is harder to use than one line of input, not just because it's smaller in practice on many screens, but also because it prevent users from hitting enter when they're done to submit like they would on other summary and reason inputs, because textareas take enter as a linebreak - which makes no sense here because log entries don't allow linebreaks. While there are concerns about one line inputs being a constraint on how much of a reason a user can give, the character limit is 200 characters (for database reasons apparently) anyway - sufficiently low that even if someone does hit the limit it is relatively trivial to scroll through it - and generally reasons are a lot shorter than that. If a reason to move something truly does require that many characters or more, chances are there is a bigger issue behind the move itself and folks really should be using a link to a policy or talkpage discussion or some such instead of putting it all in the summary, not in the least so that people can respond to the lengthy matter if need be. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 13627] Special:MovePage's Reason field should only be one line
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13627 --- Comment #28 from Bawolff bawolff...@gmail.com 2012-11-26 17:58:06 UTC --- (In reply to comment #27) I'm marking this bug as easy because it is an easy bug for any developer to work on. It needs a very simple changeset in Gerrit to move forward. The broader question is whether this bug should be marked resolved/wontfix. (CC'ing a few people who may be interested in the topic. It's basically a question of usability, consistency, and user expectation.) I disagree that bugs like this should be marked easy. Easy is supposed to denote a good task for a newbie. While you're correct that making the change is easy, the broader question of should this be Fixed or WONTFIXED is not an easy question, and probably not something a newbie would be prepared to deal with as a first contribution to MediaWiki. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
