User story & summary:
As an editor making Community Configuration changes, I want the Edit Summary to be easy to understand, so that I can make the necessary changes.
Background
We received feedback from @Tacsipacsi in T354463#9674654:
- (optional) text: it is bold in implementation but uses regular weight in the designs.
- edit summary text area: "The summary box is huge. In one design, it’s a two-line textbox, in the other one, it’s a one-line input; in the implementation, it’s eight lines tall. This gives the impression that the edit summary can be however long I want it to be (and indeed, nothing on the frontend prevents me from writing an over 1000 characters long summary, even though the backend (MW core) caps the summary at 500 characters)."
- legal disclaimer: "on submitting edits in VE, there is a footer with legal clause with links to licensees and to the Terms of Use. Do we need a link to the Terms of Use in the Edit Summary too?" / "the placement of the Reminder is the same as for the footer for saving edits which might confuse those users who used to see different footer."
Current implementation:
Proposed designs/improvements:
- (optional) text should use Regular weight.
- use Autosize property for the TextArea, which starts with two lines as default, and the text area’s height automatically resizes with the length of the text. See how the Autosize property behaves here (toggle the 'Autosize' option).
- add Legal Disclaimer under the Reminder text.
Mock-up
Acceptance Criteria:
- (optional) text uses Regular weight and not bold
- Summary box uses TextArea component with Autosize property
