Fix minor inconsistencies in Bugzilla Vector skin
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Overall, the Bugzilla skin is wonderful, but it has a few oddities that I'd really like to see addressed at some point:

  • the search bar isn't properly positioned
  • the login links aren't properly positioned
    • may make sense to split out the link to /userprefs.cgi to a "Preferences" link
  • missing per-bug tabs
    • particularly a "View history" tab, which is really easy to overlook in the current interface

These changes would make the overall experience much closer to Vector.

  • the search bar isn't properly positioned
  • the login links aren't properly positioned

For these two I'd definitely accept patches. :)

  • may make sense to split out the link to /userprefs.cgi to a "Preferences"

link

We have that Preferences link (duplicated) also in the left sidebar.

  • missing per-bug tabs

Not sure if I get it. Are there per-article tabs in Vector? Or maybe I just interpret "per *" differently.

  • particularly a "View history" tab, which is really easy to overlook in the

current interface

I'll rather fix 47256 instead.

Indeed. I'm not sure I've ever used the sidebar link, but it seems fine to include the link twice in the user interface. If we do create a separate "Preferences" link in the top-right corner, the e-mail address would probably be unlinked (unless there's a clever place we could link it to).

If you visit [[ticket]], there's an "Article" tab, a "View history" tab, etc. These tabs are what I mean by per-bug tabs.

I wasn't aware of bug 47256. Hmmm.

Wikimedia has migrated from Bugzilla to Phabricator. Learn more about it here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/versus_Bugzilla - This task does not make sense anymore in the concept of Phabricator, hence closing as declined.
