Bug #: 40601
Summary: 'Cancel' link when editing should be a button, and
'Editing help' link is silly
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: zhoris...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
For consistency, when editing, the 'Cancel' link should really be a button
along with the other buttons on the line, since it is an action like the rest
of them even if it isn't directly tied to the form itself.
The help link should also probably be removed entirely from at least the
default installation, as no help pages actually come with said installation and
thus the link doesn't go anywhere. Expecting wikis at this point to write their
own editing help pages is also pretty silly, as there tend to already be much
more thorough such pages on other wikis such as enwp, meta, and similar, and
new projects can merely refer to those instead if needed. For any projects
using the WikiEditor extension, though, having a link at all is redundant
anyway as the toolbar the extension provides includes a navigable help menu
directly in it.
Ignore the other stuff, but the line of buttons would look something like on
this:
