Description

NOTE: banner will be split out by Olga into new task: T228516

Special:RecentChanges (as well as watchlist) have an option to view "grouped" changes.

Screen Shot 2019-07-17 at 15.10.11.png (696×824 px, 89 KB)

This option reformats the list and groups results by page.

Screen Shot 2019-07-17 at 15.12.23.png (328×1 px, 163 KB)

This option is ill-suited for mobile because it uses a table-based layout (as well as hard-coded whitespace characters 🤨), which cannot be modified to fit on mobile devices.

Therefore, the "group results by page" option should be disabled on mobile.

But by disabling this option on mobile, we are also overriding a user preference 😱

To ensure users who have this option enabled (surely advanced editors) aren't surprised or think it's broken, we are going to display a banner on the page informing users that grouped results have been disabled on mobile. (another task)

Developer notes

The "grouped" view is referred to as EnhancedChangesList.php in MediaWiki core. The ChangesList.php class in core provides a FetchChangesList hook on which we can use to override the instantiation of EnhancedChangesList. We should place this hook in mobileFrontend, and it should do two things: 1. $list = new OldChangesList( $context) 2. return false.

QA steps

Environment: beta cluster.

The goal of this task is to ensure that the "grouped" view on the Recent Changes page is not accessible in the Minerva skin. The "grouped view" can be accessed in 3 different ways:

The url parameter -- On the Recent changes page, add enhanced=1 as a url parameter. The presentation of the results should not change.
The advanced filters checkbox (screenshot above). -- These filters aren't available on mobile mode yet, but you can add the &useskin=minerva url param on desktop to trigger the Minerva skin, then on the recent changes page, clicking the checkbox in the filters should do nothing.
Enabling a user preference (screenshot also above). -- As a logged in user, enable this user preference. Then on the Recent changes page, the results should still not be grouped.

AC

~~The option to "group results by page" is removed from the Recent changes filters~~ ( This AC is blocked on T225499)
If a user has the "group changes by page" preference selected, we still show the "old" results on mobile
If the url param enhanced=1 is entered in the RecentChanges page, we still show the "old" results on mobile.

ovasileva moved this task from Incoming to Needs Prioritization on the Web-Team-Backlog board.

Approach with hook might not work on translate.wiki. The translate wiki is using https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CleanChanges extension, which listens to the same hook, and overrides the $list with NCL, EnhancedChangesList or OldChangesList. Most probably code has to accommodate how CleanChanges extension works.

Note: Looks like translate.wiki doesn't have MobileFrontend, so it's not a problem.

Estimate is for disabling the group list only, @ovasileva to split off the banner into a separate task

This change also affects non-mobile views: I can no longer group recent changes on mediawiki.org (or the beta cluster), regardless of the value of the preference. I use Vector (on desktop - no mobile whatsoever).

If I look at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue/+/524031, it would make it seem that it is always disabled - regardless of the skin used. Since the hooks are executed unconditionally, they themselves need to check if the current skin is Minerva. That makes this a train blocker.

The url parameter -- On the Recent changes page, add enhanced=1 as a url parameter. The presentation of the results should not change.

Looks good, moving to signoff

just did an additional review for signoff. Looks good.
