Bug #: 31567
Summary: Ensure consistent position of the "Watch this page"
checkbox
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User interface
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: uv.w...@gmail.com
Blocks: 27860
Classification: Unclassified
On the edit form, just above the "Save page" button, there are usually two
checkboxes: To the far left, the "This is a minor edit" checkbox, and to the
right of it, the "Watch this page" checkbox.
As a consequence of the current solution to bug 27860, the first checkbox is
hidden in some cases. In these cases, the "Watch this page" checkbox is located
in a different position than usually, i. e. to the far left (= in the place
where usually the "This is a minor edit" checkbox is found).
This inconsistent positioning of the "Watch this page" checkbox makes it harder
for editors to use the edit form (because they cannot trust that they will find
the "Watch this page" checkbox in the same position). It may also cause a page
to be accidentally unwatched (where the user in fact just wanted to uncheck the
"minor" checkbox).
Please ensure that the "Watch this page" checkbox is always in the same
horizontal position relative to the "Save page", "Show preview", and "Show
changes" buttons.
