Show confirmation message with link to Contributions tab after a participant associates their edit with an event
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Background

We should show how editors they can see their edits in the contributions tab after they associate an edit with an event. Maybe we can also have a 'don't show me this message again' option.

Acceptance criteria
  • Given that an event participant has successfully associated their edit with an event,
    • Then they should see a success message,
      • And the message should have the following copy: "Your edit has been associated with {EventName}. To see your contribution, navigate to the Contributions view of the event."
        • "Contributions view of the event" should link to Contributions tab for event
        • "Contributions" should reference the message with actual label of the tab
          • And the message should be dismissible.

@JFernandez-WMF @ifried Minor question on the copy: should it be "in the event details" instead, with article and lowercase letter, or is it meant to be the (localised) name of Special:EventDetails (in which case we'll just reference that directly)? We can also make that link to the contribution tab directly, without the user having to select it; not sure if that would entail a change to the copy.

(Also a note that the design of bubble notification is slightly different on desktop, especially given the absence of a "close" button -- you can dismiss it by clicking on the notification instead. This doesn't really change anything, I'm only mentioning it for completeness)

Notes from team meeting on March 2 2026:

  • Great points, @Daimona! We have updated the AC with new text, part of which will link to the Contributions tab of the event.

Thank you, makes sense to me, but still a variation of the question above applies here: is "Contributions" meant to be the exact localised name of the contributions tab? In other words, should it match the text used on Special:EventDetails (not just in English, bear in mind)? If so, should it perhaps be in quotes to clarify this? And if not, i.e. if "contributions" is just meant as a common noun, I suppose it should not use the capital letter, right? I am asking this because what is only a subtle difference in English (quotes or capital letter) could translate into completely different sentence structures in other languages, potentially leading to awkward translations when the name of the tab is referenced directly.

(Besides, it is generally a good thing to point out when a message is meant to reference another existing message, like a label, verbatim. There are ways to code that so that the other message is referenced directly without having to write its content explicitly. The risk otherwise is that, in translations, the two messages will use different words, leading to potential confusion; it is not an uncommon occurrence in multi-lingual apps/websites.)

Ping @ifried @JFernandez-WMF for the question above. This would otherwise be ready for review.
