Why are we doing this?
For power contributors to have access to additional tools/actions that are currently not available in the V1 version of native iOS talk pages.
Audience story
As a contributor, I want to easily and quickly have access to additional actions and content that is available on web for talk pages.
Relevant information
Access
- Opened when the ‘overflow menu’ icon in the top right corner is tapped.
Display
- Instead of a full page modal the overflow menu will now display a context menu.
- When the overflow menu icon is tapped on and the context menu is open the icon itself turns semi-transparent.
Overflow menu on article talk
- Options: Out of the presented options some won’t be available on all talk pages, so whatever is available in mobile view should be used. These options should be available for all logged in and logged out contributors.
- ‘Open all threads’ (action) - uncollapses all threads in talk page. When tapped the modal closes and all threads become visible.
- ‘Revision history’ (internal page) - takes you to the in app history page.
- ‘Read in web’ - alters view to show web view, e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/{title}
