Change Details

On many RC Pages, the community has defined a large number of links that display directly under the page name. Many of these links are unrelated or only peripherally related to Recent Changes. They put noise in the signal of what the page is about, and research shows (T166623) that the bulk of them are used only rarely or never. To reduce the informational complexity of the page and clarify its functionality for new users, in particular, while recognizing that these links are useful to some users, we will put the links into a collapsible panel, similar to the treatment on [[ https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B5:%D8%A3%D8%AD%D8%AF%D8%AB_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%BA%D9%8A%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA?hideliu=0&hideanons=0&userExpLevel=&hidemyself=0&hidebyothers=0&hidebots=1&hidehumans=0&hideminor=0&hidemajor=0&hidelastrevision=0&hidepreviousrevisions=0&hidepageedits=0&hidenewpages=0&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&hidelog=0&watchlist=&highlight&registration__hideliu_color&registration__hideanons_color&userExpLevel__newcomer_color&userExpLevel__learner_color&userExpLevel__experienced_color&authorship__hidemyself_color&authorship__hidebyothers_color&automated__hidebots_color&automated__hidehumans_color&significance__hideminor_color&significance__hidemajor_color&lastRevision__hidelastrevision_color&lastRevision__hidepreviousrevisions_color&changeType__hidepageedits_color&changeType__hidenewpages_color&changeType__hidecategorization_color&changeType__hideWikibase_color&changeType__hidelog_color&watchlist__watched_color&watchlist__watchednew_color&watchlist__notwatched_color | Arabic Wikipedia ]]. ==Functionality - The panel will continue to display the links and other functions as they are displayed now. - Community members will continue to be able to create and manage links as they do now. - The default panel state will be collapsed. - The panel will, however, remember whatever state the user leaves it in. So that, for example, if a user opens the panel and then closes the page, when she returns to the page, the panel will be open. - Clicking on "Other review tools" will open the panel. Clicking on the panel "x" will close it. # Mockups |Collapsed|Expanded| |---|---| |{F8452993}|{F8452995}| [[ http://pauginer.github.io/prototypes/edit-review/simplified-filters/index.html | This prototype ]] show the panel in action.
