🌱 This task is still a seed germinating on the forest floor that is Phabricator. If it brings ideas/thoughts/questions to mind, please comment!.
This task is about introducing functionality and/or information to Special:Topic Subscriptions (T273342) that makes it easier for people to find locate conversation(s) they subscribed to.
User story
- As someone who is wanting to reference a discussion(s) I subscribed to, I want to be able to "efficiently" browse/search all of the discussions I'm subscribed to, so that I can locate the discussion(s) I am wanting to reference without having to remember their specific name(s).
Approaches
Some ideas...
- Add support for being able to sort the discussions you are subscribed to:
- by topic title
- by page
- ✔ by date you subscribed to them – done in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/DiscussionTools/+/727405
- by date you last received a notification
- Add metadata/information about the discussions you are subscribed to:
- ✔ The date you subscribed to them [i] – done in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/DiscussionTools/+/727405
- The pages on which they exist [i]
- ✔ The date you last received a notification from a given discussion [i] – done in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/DiscussionTools/+/727405
- The date the discussion itself was started [ii]
- The date the most-recent comment was published [to indicate freshness] [ii][iii]
- The number of posts/number of unique participants/number of bytes [to indicate the overall activity in the thread] [ii]
- The username of the person who originally started the thread [ii]
