Bug #: 39424
Summary: Multiple pad per page clarification
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: EtherEditor
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: clem...@seizam.com
CC: mtrac...@member.fsf.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
It took us (IT engineers) 30 seconds to understand that one page can have many
pads (sessions?) opened at once.
Our mistake was to share the address from the browser address bar
(index.php?title=User:Bedhed&action=edit) instead of the pad address provided
within the editor
(index.php?title=User%3ABedhed&action=edit&collaborate=true&padId=81).
This feature is great and very powerful, but perhaps too much.
Also, even if I see the benefits of sessions, I wonder if the related use cases
are so important, in comparison to the possible UX issues, and also merging
issues.
On top of my head : multiple sessions should be an advanced option. Users
editing one page share only one default pad. By expanding the sessions menu, a
user can then click a link that explicitly says "Open a new session". Once he
did, he then have the relative pad url available.
And to conclude, a choice should be made between "PAD" and "SESSION", using two
words to say one thing is confusing.
