Bug ID: 44497
Summary: Simplify and remove jargon from protection level
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page protection
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: zhoris...@gmail.com
CC: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When a page is protected or its protection level changed, it puts for the
protection level in the log and history 'Edit=Block new and unregistered
users', 'Move=Block all non-admin users', and the like. This wording is unclear
- 'block' is an unnecessary jargon term, and the length of the protection
description makes it harder to quickly scan and figure out what it's actually
saying.
If it is going to be in the format of 'Type=Level', the level should be the
exact level with any necessary explanation following, along the lines of
'Move=Admins only' or 'Edit:Confirmed only'. Though the latter is unclear as to
what 'confirmed' means, the similar 'Move=New and unregistered users
disallowed' takes longer to get to the point while still remaining similarly
unclear as to what exactly constitutes a 'new' user.
And given that log entries are currently restricted to a single line, the
protection level descriptions must remain in a distinctly structured and short
form as otherwise it makes the line difficult to scan.
