WatchList - Buttons (7.3)
Last modified by Vincent Massol on 2024/11/19 16:15
Description
Problem
Display the state of the watchlist and the actions we can perform on it, without extra-clicks.
Variants
1. Watchlist icons under the title
| The state of the watchlist is displayed without any click | |
| The actions are easily findable | |
| We should deprecate the "space" watchlist element or rename it. |


1.bis
- Put a tiny "badge" under the page title when the page is watched (if not, there is nothing). Optional: A click on this badge remove the page from the watch list.
- Let "watch/unwatch page/page with children" in the more actions menus.
- Add a watch/unwatch action in the wiki index
| The state of the watchlist is displayed without any click | |
| The actions are easily findable | |
| The UI is not very crowded | |
| The watch wiki actions is displayed in the Wiki Index, and not everywhere |




Variants
Put the badge in the same line than the last modification sentence.

2. Watchlist icons under the content menus
| The state of the watchlist is displayed without any click | |
| The actions are easily findable and grouped with other page-related actions | This section is a bit crowdy |
| We should deprecate the "space" watchlist element or rename it. |


3. Watchlist icons in the top bar
| Easy to find | Not located with page-related actions |
| Needs an extra-click to see the state of the watchlist | |
| We should deprecate the "space" watchlist element or rename it. |



4. Watchlist icon in the top bar + in the menu
Idea: display the icon on the top right only when if the page is watched. Actions still are in the more actions menu.
| The state of the watchlist is displayed without any click | |
| The actions are easily findable and grouped with other page-related actions |



5. Watchlist icon in a new notification top menu
Idea: display the actions in a "notifications" menu (displayed with a bell) that would also displays some events (a message have been sent, etc...)

6. Watchlist icon in a new notification top menu + Integrated Switched
Idea: display notification status + list of events + (page, hierarchy, wiki) switches















About "watch space"
In the context of NestedPages, the "space" notion should not exist anymore. Should we rename the action "watch parent and siblings?" a bit complex...
