Hiding topics and posts in Flow should work consistently
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In the current prototype on ee-flow.wmflabs.org

  • comments are hidden via the "actions" menu (small flag icon).
  • topics are hidden via the small angle/arrow symbol.

This is inconsistent. Hiding should work the same for comments and topics.

I propose to

  1. add an "action" menu to topics, too, and add hide to that menu.
  2. make the angle/arrow symbol on topics work like when cklicking on the header area (folding/unfolding a topic temporarily, but not hiding it permanently). This is what most users await when clicking such an arrow symbol anyway. A permanent action which affects all users is rather confusing at that place.

The solution I proposed above would fix this bug, too.

Design has re-done the interface for these elements, it is being implemented in I33fbb345503e4e17d93dcb87a764527f384e996b
