@Prtksxna Could you 👀 this user flow? We talked about the basics in estimation but would appreciate some design input 🙇 . Thanks! This covers both this ticket and T290178: Add an /archive page showing all the flagged elections [M]

• "Archive" is available:

• Trying to archive a 1. unfinished election 2. an election you're not an admin for or 3. an election that's already archived results in an error:

• If you are an admin for a finished election, clicking "Archive" will archive the election (it's hidden from the main page):

• Add a link to the bottom of the page showing where you can look at archived elections:

• Archived elections are available at /archived:

• And can be unarchived (same requirements as archiving), showing them on the main page again:

This looks great. Thanks for sharing screenshots, @STran! A few notes:

• Is it possible to hide or disable the link for users that aren't allowed to archive a certain election?
• Are we using the the subtitle area on the election list page for any links? Can the 'View archived elections' and possibly the 'Create new poll' links be moved to the top. For example see
  • https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GlobalBlocking#/media/File:Global_block_interface_(2021-04-29).png
  • Special:CheckUser
  • Special:Investigate
• Can we put the message on the archive page inside a message box?

Is it possible to hide or disable the link for users that aren't allowed to archive a certain election?

Yes; disabled. I think this is actually a bug that can be fixed as part of this patch and will note it in the patch since it's a little outside the scope of the ticket.

We weren't but we can:

Sure. How do these look?

These look great, thanks @STran.

While doing QA, we can archive elections our team created on votewiki for testing STV.

Verification done for the feature. Browser testing on supported browsers. https://vote.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org
The following are the screen shoots:
View archive link shows on upper left of screen and archive link is activated for eligible elections.

@STran I just noticed that the disabled Archive link is black (F34690249) in some cases and gray (F34690257) in others. Is there a difference in state between these two?

Rows that are greyed out reflect elections that have ended and rows that aren't are elections that are still ongoing and that styling is affecting links that you can't click.

Understood. Thanks, @STran!
