Use large popup panel for timelines in VisualEditor
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Timeline blocks usually contain a huge amount of text. However, if I try to edit a timeline in VisualEditor, I get a small edit box (like the quick edit box for formulae). Please at least set a larger edit popup (the best would be, of course, if EasyTimeline had a visual edit interface like Math).

@Jdforrester-WMF: Then I rephrase the task: Make all popups large, except the ones that are marked explicitly otherwise. The larger is usually the better—a short text can better be edited in a large box than vice versa. This way no unsupported extension will become supported, still the content become editable. Anyways, what’s the problem with making not A-grade extensions a bit more usable? WMF employees should not “waste” their working hours for it? Then just wait, probably a volunteer (like me) will fix it. Not considering an extension and explicitly denying to fix it are two different things; I can understand sometimes the former but no ways the latter.
