Create Layout 9.x (2017)
Last modified by Vincent Massol on 2024/11/19 16:14
Description
Hypothesis
- (H1) When creating a new page, users think first at the page type (so it should be presented first)
- (H2) New-time users will test multiple templates, while the long-term users usually create black pages
Constraints
- Consistency between 'Create page' and 'Create wiki' steps
- Consistency with 'Move, Copy, Rename' steps
Variants
Current
- 'Templates' in a separate column
- Consistent with 'Create wiki' 2 columns layout + 'Template' positioning
- Consistent with 'Move/Copy' 2 columns layout
A2: Type, Position, Title
- According to H1, having Type as first item to fill
Harder to long-time users to fill in the Page Title
The 'Create' button can get below the fold (less visible)
Vertical alignment
A3: Title, Position, Type
Implementation: Keeps the locationPicker macro
- It's the current version, just in 1 column
'Add more templates' location
A4: Title, Type, Position
Title and Type, being the most changed are displayed first
Location since it can be influenced by Type, is displayed after Type
Location displays constraints from Title and Type, so it summarize them (advanced users can overwrite)
Implementation: Breaks the locationPicker macro (that groups Title + Location and is reused in several other places)
'Add more templates' location
