We could also reduce the size of the "minimize" button and add the close button in the same row (This is shown in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:PagesFeedInfoFlyout.png).

Alternatively, is there much use for the minimized state of the toolbar at all? If we eliminate this state then, we can remove the "minimize" button and just add the small "close" button to the toolbar.

That simplifies things and would allow us to remove code, so +1 from me from that perspective.

Longer term, some design input on how to best display this component (menu + its panels) would be nice. To me, it seems like a "Help panel" type design + implementation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Growth/Tools/Help_panel could work.

[mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage@master] [WIP] toolbar: Register the "close" button as a tool

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/892367

This ticket kind of turned into two different requests: Request 1 was to add a "close" button to the Page Curation toolbar, and request 2 was to eliminate the minimized state.

I gave this some additional thought, and I think I'd be in favor of leaving the current system as-is. That is, I am not sure we need to implement either request.

The minimized state is a useful visual indicator that this is a new article, without covering any of the page text like the un-minimized toolbar does sometimes.

That sounds fine. We could revisit this later in a broader design/UX review.

We did have (some) consensus on this. Maybe we should ask reviewers that question again, before the remaining patch is abandoned and this ticket is marked as Declined.
