Description

Revisions

When a contributor takes the action [1] that "opens" the Save dialog, treat the transition how it is currently treated in the mobile wikitext editor [2]. See this demo: https://youtu.be/3jaQ_To3RxM
When a contributor takes the action [3] to go "back" from the save dialog, treat the transition how it is currently treated in the mobile wikitext editor [2]. See clip above

Context

Platform: mobile
Editing interface: VE

"Done"

Remove all transitions for opening inspectors and the save dialog
Preserve transitions for:
- Edit Cards
- Smaller alerts (e.g. "Discard edits" dialog)

The action: I'm being intentionally generic here considering the "action" to advance is going to change from "Publish" to ">" once v1 of the toolbar is deployed. See: T225634
Current mobile wikitext transition: I think we said there currently is "no transition," but I wasn't sure so I stopped short of specifying "no transition."
The action: Again, I'm being intentionally generic here considering this "action" to go back is going to change from "X" to "<" once v1 of the toolbar is deployed. See: T225634
