@Pginer-WMF, I started reviewing this to move it to RFP. But as per our discussion this morning, there is a small problem that you may wish to consider: We said this morning that the first release will include the Namespaces and Tagged edits menus. And that Categories and Users would wait, possibly for some time.

As you know, Tagged edits has a decent icon, but the Namespace icon is less than ideal, in that it the little document image could be just about anything. Also, of course, as long as we have only two options, there will be nothing to put into the "Advanced" menu that isn't already visible.

My preferred interim solution would be to just write "Advanced filters" with a down arrow. (In fact, I still feel this might be superior as a final solution.) What's your recommendation?

The icons act as shortcuts, but the advanced filters can be discovered as part of the main filter panel (which we try not to compete with). In the same way that users will discover the watchlist filter, the advanced ones are provided just below.

It is true that we have not found a a perfect icon for such an abstract concept as "namespace" but I don't think that is as much problematic if users can associate both instances (the one with a label and the shortcut one) as an interim solution:

@Pginer-WMF, so in your design, it looks like there will be no "Advanced" menu until there are more than 2 menus available? Just confirming.

@Mooeypoo, please note the most recent interchange between Pau and me, above, re. adapting his design for just the two Advanced menus we'll be launching at first. Basically, to cut to the chase, it's in this screenshot.

Yes, that's right. To avoid crowding this space there will be room for a maximum of 3 actions:

• If there are just 1, 2, or 3 actions, those are exposed directly.
• If there are more than three actions, two of them will be exposed directly, and a "..." button will provide access to all of them in a menu.

I guessed that while we don't have more than 3 actions (we currently have 2 - namespaces and tags) the dotdotdot menu is hidden. I was going to verify, but thank you for beating me to it :)

@Pginer-WMF quick question -- we already have a footer in the menu right now for sending feedback about the RCFilters beta. Where do I put this footer now? Under the footers above (the text one for the tag/namespace and the button selection one for the default view) ?

I don't mind, it will just take a tad more vertical space, so just head's up.

Change 359083 had a related patch set uploaded (by Mooeypoo; owner: Mooeypoo):
[mediawiki/core@master] [wip] RCFilters: Change to the new views redesign

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/359083

Implemented everything except for the message footer for namespaces and tagged edits -- after a chat with @jmatazzoni, my understanding that the extra explanation in the footer in the example above is only relevant to "Users" and "Categories" which are lookup elements, and not to Namespaces and Tagged Edits.

[mediawiki/core@master] RCFilters: Change to the new views redesign

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/359083

Checked in betalabs - all functionality is in place.

Summary of what is not implemented yet:

(1) The tooltips are different - although it's a minor issue, please confirm that the tooltip phrasing is acceptable.
In the specs:
-Filter results by namespaces
-Filter results using edit tags
-Return to main filter menu

Implemented:
-Named spaces
-Tagged edits
-Filters

(2) Not implemented yet:

A "more" menu provides access to all integrated filters in a list. Each item includes an icon, a label and the prefix that is used for accessing them.

@Pginer-WMF can you take a look and confirm that this is acceptable deviation from the prototype UI?

• the background of 'Tags' and 'Namespaces' is grey:

• there is a little gap between the area for Tag and Namespace filters box and general Filter search text area.

These are worth fixing. I created a specific ticket for those (and related) details: T168845: Connect better the advanced filters with the main filter entry point on Recent Changes

(That ticket is also part of a design review where other styling issues about the filters are captured in T168826)

I missed this earlier. The intention was for the advanced filters to appear after the regular ones as part of the same list, not floating. I created a separate ticket for this: T168851: Don't make the advanced filters to float at the bottom of the filters panel

@Mooeypoo I also discovered a strange glitch in the navigation when returning from "tagged edits" (captured in T168855)

@Mooeypoo Tooltips will be corrected or the existing wording is the correct one?

• The tooltips have been implemented.

• The following requirement can be addressed later.

A "more" menu provides access to all integrated filters [...]
