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.

Why not allow user settings to determine if summary box is going to be a single or multi-line textbox.

Right? It could also be a simple set of check boxes allowing user to customize input fields. Currently as previously mentioned... The page-file move box/edit summary box/delete box/block box/protection box are different. Only one is multi-lined other are single-lined. This irks me greatly. I however do not want to force people who want to use multi-lined text boxes to use single lined. The reasons of moving a page or file is routine. Far more routine than anything else. You almost always use the same rationale so WHY is it that it is multi-lined? For filemove at least on commons and English wikipedia, drop down bot quoting the rationale would be helpful. Drop down box input can be determined locally just like how license list can be adjusted. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

Right? Exactly! I think this should be MW's new slogan. - I do agree with comment 8 that the spacing between the reason box and the destination box should be increased (even if the reason box is kept multi-line). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

I don't want people to modify the interface with javascript. I want the interface to be reasonable and usable to all people. For the same reason I don't want user preferences to trigger subtle changes in the interface (Otherwise we would have 10 billion prefs, and usability should not be a preference, etc). I also do not want to force people to use an interface they are not happy with. However at the same time it is unclear if the change suggested (making it a single line for everyone) would make more or less people unhappy. Thus I feel such a change should be done cautiously. Similarly, I am not neccesarily opposed to making the box one line, adding a drop down for an auto-reason, and having some extra whitespace between the reason fields and the move target field. I think such an approach may possibly make everyone happy. Or perhaps it won't. I suppose we should make mock-ups and talk to the users and so on. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13627 --- Comment #25 from とある白い猫 2012-08-17 23:09:18 UTC --- Alright here is the issue from my perspective. All summary boxes (move, delete, block, edit, whatever) to me should always be single-lined since it will be displayed as a single line anyways. Mind that this is merely my preference and no one should be forced to use my preference so I acknowledge that some people may want it multi-lined. If we force a single-line summary field on them they will of course complain. Additional stuff such as drop down boxes would probably be warmly welcomed since move actions are typically routine. The default used to be single lined as far as I know. It was changed without asking users (which alone is fine since some people wanted it this way). I would support mock-ups and perhaps enable it on some wiki like test.wikipedia for users to actually see. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

Cutting a user's text without warning that the text is going to be cut if the text is "too" long, is a major bug in my view. I don't see this as mere "enhancement". Can you imagine the same happened with this very "Additional comment" box on bugzilla ? At least here you would be able to add a second comment below to replace the cut text.
