Update: 31-March

Notes from the conversation @Esanders and I had this morning below. These items are also now represented in the "Implementation details" section of the task description:

• The feedback link should lead people to the following page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Talk_pages_project/replying
• The feedback link text should read: "Share feedback about this feature"
• Clicking the "feedback link" should open a new window in the person's browser, not overtake their existing one
• The feedback link should be visible to people within the Replying workflow, before they publish their comment

Next steps

• Implement what is described in the "Implementation details" section of the task description
• @Esanders to consult with @iamjessklein on design

Eventually, we need all the feedback centralized, because we aren't going to watch 100+ pages on 100+ wikis. In the meantime, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T244683 has the list of the most likely places to find feedback for these four wikis.

Agreed. Right now, the plan is for the feedback link within the workflow to direct people to mw.org, specifically: Talk:Talk_pages_project/replying...

• @Whatamidoing-WMF, are you thinking we centralize feedback elsewhere?

A question for engineering related to what Sherry is alluding to in the quoted comment above:

• How much more involved would this task become if we were to customize the "feedback link" on a per-wiki basis? Read: have the "feedback link" on fr.wiki lead people to: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_Projet:Outils_de_discussion

Option 1, provide the link the t&c section (dummy copy):

Per today's meeting, we will do the following:

• For now, the feedback URL will vary by wiki. See task description for wiki-specific URLs.
• In the future, when the Replying tool is deployed more widely, all feedback URLs will be consistent: T249295

Updates: 6-April
Notes from a conversation with @Esanders and @iamjessklein just now...
For this iteration, we will:

• Implement the design Ed proposed in T249016#6024857
• CHANGE the copy in T249016#6024857 to "Share feedback about this feature [here]()."

...if people end up having a difficult time discovering the feedback link, we will explore changing the design.

At this small font size, "here" does not make for a very accessible click target, so I'll just make the link "[Share feedback about this feature](...)"

Change 587274 had a related patch set uploaded (by Esanders; owner: Esanders):
[mediawiki/extensions/DiscussionTools@master] Add a share feedback link

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/587274

The link is set to mw.org in the code, and should be overridden on-wiki for ar.wiki, fr.wiki & hu.wiki.

Good thought.

@Esanders who does the "overriding"? Should we be asking our contacts at ar.wiki, fr.wiki & hu.wiki to override the link targets themselves? Something else?

Update: 12-April

• Changed nl.wiki's feedback link to their community-created page: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Discussietools; the task description now includes this link.

Anyone with global message access (e.g. myself) can change the messages.

For feedback links in Echo and VE we use the 'feedback' icon (see here); do we want to do that too?

Change 587274 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/extensions/DiscussionTools@master] Add a share feedback link

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/587274

Given we're using 10.5px text, probably not?

Checked on Beta cluster, looks okay to me. Will check this again on production for all four wikis.
@ppelberg: let's keep it open until then?

Sounds good to me, @Ryasmeen.

@Ryasmeen verified the feedback link now appears within the Reply tool on each of our target wikis and links people to mw.org [1].

With this in mind, @Esanders, are you able to override the default link target [1] such that the links go here for each of our target wikis (copied from the task description)?

1. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Talk_pages_project/replying

@Esanders will pick this up

Done

All the feedback links are now redirecting to the appropriate project feedback pages for all target wikis.
