Suggestions: Review/update copies of all suggestions types
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

This task involves the work of reviewing all of the Edit Suggestion UI copy before the Suggestion Mode is offered as a Beta Feature at all Wikipedias (T415320) so that we can be relatively confident the strings we will be asking volunteers to translate are stable.

Thank you to @bmartinezcalvo for identifying the need for this review.

Problem

At the moment, Suggestions do not follow a consistent copy structure across different suggestion types. As a result, when multiple Suggestions appear on the same page, they are harder to scan, compare, and understand as a set.

Proposed solution

In order to be consistent, we could apply the following structure in the cards copies:

  • Title: Action oriented
  • Description: Explain the issue + Eplain the benefit for readers (starting with Help readers… to highlight impact and motivation as detected during usability testing)
  • Link (optional): always at the end of the description as "Learn more"
  • Buttons: Primary action (verb) + Decline (to be consistent with Checks)
  • Success message (if completed): Always the same message "Thank you for helping to make this section easier for people to read."
NOTE: Copies will be iterated once we decide on structure.

Open questions

  • Do we want to use the same copies for checks and suggestions? If yes, we will need to apply the new copies in both check + suggestions card

Acceptance criteria

  • Define the copies structure
  • Propose new copies for all suggestions
  • Implement new copies

Do we want to use the same copies con checks and suggestions? If yes, we will need to apply the new copies in both check + suggestions card

Just to note, it’s less work to apply to both, because there’s no internal distinction between check and suggestion cards like that. We’d have to go in and make a bunch of changes to be able to have different copy between modes, in fact.
