Description

Background

If I got to Special:History/User_talk:André_Costa_(WMSE) (in mobile view). There is no indication that I'm in the user_talk namespace. While making the distinction between main and user namespace might not be critical (you are unlikely to intend to go to one but end up on the other) not making a distinction between a namespace and it's associated talk namepace is likely to lead to confusion.

Examples which all look identical:

Design

Regular page edit history

Namespace edit history

NOTE: this uses new special page layout described in T169162

Developer notes

MinervaTemplate currently has no concept of links/components that can be placed above the heading. We'd need to add this capability inside Minerva before dealing with this in MobileFrontend. There is no precedent for doing this and this would only work on Minerva - not other skins.

It would be easier to put the link under the heading e.g. consider breadcrumbs on https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Team

Testing steps

On beta cluster please verify that Special:History page shows Talk label for articles from talk namespace, as an example:

https://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:History/Talk:Planet
and
https://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:History/Planet

On production, the talk page history will show only "Planet", wihout "Talk" label.

The namespace label should be visible only on talk namespaces (there are plenty of those) and additionally it should be translated, example:
https://de.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Spezial:Versionsgeschichte/Talk:Berlin

Acceptance criteria

if the user is on a talk namespace, it must be noted on the page, as per the mockups

note: go back link does not need to be present for now

@Nirzar can you take a look at the developer notes? Does the go back link have to be above the title? It would be a lot simpler if it was somewhere below, since Special pages are very restrictive in what they do.

@Jdlrobson you can skip the go back link for this task. the go back link would be part of special page template and we can include that later. rn it can be just extra info in the header, as you can see it uses the new alignment already and browser back will work for going back

you can skip the go back link for this task. the go back link would be part of special page template and we can include that later

That's the problem. There is no special page template. A special page is the same as every other page and currently only content under the heading can be controlled.

Forgetting the back button altogether, The mocks still need updating as the tagline is a link and it's not clear from the mock whether this is a link; which part is a link; and if it is a link how the link should appear when hovered/clicked.

tagline is a link

it's actually not a link and that's why doesn't look like a link. it is a link right now because it serves as a way to go the article. it is useful only if you have come to this page directly and not from the article itself.

let me add link to article below somewhere and remove go back

@Nirzar - I'm a bit confused on this one. In particular, we would like to distinguish between the subject namespaces and the talk namespaces (as in, the distinction would only appear on talk namespaces?)

yes, extra label of namespace won't exist for other namesapces. it will exist only for "talk" page to begin with.

Per T147722#3389019 I submitted the patch to include the namespace. Changing the header and adding styles is too much work and It makes bigger more than a 3 pointer.

Looks good on Beta

It doesn't look like the mock provided but works for now

@Nirzar can you sign it off? Change is on beta

@Nirzar does https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147722#3873154 mean me can resolve this?

Macro votecat: looks good
