Description

User story: As a Wikipedia editor, I want to navigate to my dashboard, so that I can engage with the opportunities presented there.

We need to give users a clear way to reach their dashboard - the personal tools menu seems like an obvious choice, as the other items here are also personal to the user.

Vector 2022

Legacy Vector

On mobile, it should be present in the side menu if the user isn't using Advanced Mobile Contributions:

Or in the user dropdown menu if they do use AMC:

Acceptance criteria

  • In the Vector 2022 skin personal tools menu there should be a link that points to Special:Dashboard with the text 'Dashboard'
  • In the Vector skin the link should be within the same list in the top corner
  • In Minerva, the link should be in the sidebar if the user does not have the Advanced Mobile Contributions setting enabled
  • For users on MInerva with the AMC setting, it should be in the user dropdown menu
  • The entry should use the viewcompact icon
  • The link should be visible only after a config change has been deployed

We could use the codex VeiwCompact icon for now.

@Samwalton9-WMF Is there a consistent order for where to put the Dashboard link? I noticed that in each screenshot it has a different position before/after other links.

Samwalton9-WMF added a comment.Mon, Nov 17, 4:57 PM

Per our planning session today, added an acceptance criterion that this should be behind a config change - a distinct one from the one that controls the notification, so that we have fine-grained control over what's being deployed.

Oops, you're right. Looks like the AMC one is the outlier, it should be one entry higher in that one (above Watchlist). I think the rest are correct. It doesn't help that this menu has different things in it depending on the location.
