Improvements to Wikimedia SUL login dialog UI: Avoid HTML entities, spell "MediaWiki" account type with upper case
Closed, DeclinedPublic
Actions

Description

Some improvements to the Wikimedia SUL dialog:

  • "MediaWiki" User
  • "Qgil-WMF" (as suggested in T541 as well)

Proposing this pre-Day, since it is part of the "out of the box experience", where it is worth to pay attention to these details. Unless it is really complicated to change MediaWiki for Wikimedia.

    It's not entirely trivial to change

    I guess the same restrictions as in T543 apply here, so no "Wikimedia". Good.

    Can the format of the link be improved as suggested above?

    Also, would it be possible to display

    "MediaWiki" User

    instead of the current lower case?

    https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/external/ now displays a colon instead of the HTML entity, plus spaces in the user name are displayed as + instead of an HTML entity. Fixed, I'd say. The dialog presented above does not exist anymore when registering via OAuth.
