Increase visibility and engagement with Result Views
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As a user Result Views help me to explore the data, but finding the button or documentation can be a challenge.

We should improve visibility of the button and documentation.

As a result we expect increasement of views in this Grafana statistic.

[wikidata/query/gui@master] Make Result View more prominent and add help link

I like moving the display button to the left, and the help link too, but why can’t the query total (x results in y ms) also stay there, after the help button? I think that’s also an important bit of information.

but finding the button or documentation can be a challenge.

Which button is meant here? The one executing the query?

I find the icon-only buttons on the left very problematic. This is typically considered a dark pattern.

It is already icon only on query.wikidata.org

I agree with @thiemowmde (though I would say it is "just" an antipattern, a "dark-" would indicate a bad intent, which I don't assume at all here). But I assume the icon-only-bar on the left is not part of that ticket, and it is more about the view changing button mid-left on top of the result view.
