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

SuccessPros The state of the watchlist is displayed without any click
SuccessPros The actions are easily findable
ErrorCons 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
SuccessPros The state of the watchlist is displayed without any click
SuccessPros The actions are easily findable
SuccessPros The UI is not very crowded
SuccessPros 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

SuccessPros The state of the watchlist is displayed without any click
SuccessPros The actions are easily findable and grouped with other page-related actionsErrorCons This section is a bit crowdy
ErrorCons We should deprecate the "space" watchlist element or rename it.

3. Watchlist icons in the top bar

SuccessPros Easy to findErrorCons Not located with page-related actions
ErrorCons Needs an extra-click to see the state of the watchlist
ErrorCons 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.

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...
