Description

Goal: Insert a new template.

Steps to reproduce:

Think, "Ah, it's found it! It's highlighted and has a checkmark next to it! Great, I can stop typing that long name and just hit return to add the template that I want.

Think, "Um, [[Template:Citation nee]] is a redlink. Why did it add that? Why didn't it add the highlighted-and-checkmarked [[Template:Citation needed]]?"

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Needs Triage.Nov 22 2014, 3:35 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz69358.

I am inclined to close as Resolved: the feedback to a user for inserting templates has improved

there is no check mark to a highlighted suggested selection anymore
clicking Return with 'Citation nee' selects the first highlighted template from the suggestions list
- the next dialog box displays the template's title and info/description to inform a user what kind of a template is about to be inserted
That dialog box requires a user to click 'Insert' button explicitly - not just pressing Return keyboard buttonn.
