Background goal
This task involves the work of defining the meaning of, and label for, the dismiss/skip buttons that appear within Suggestion Cards.
The need for becoming clear about this emerged in response to the point @Esanders made in T415849#11569533 and the discussion it prompted here.
Possible copies for Button 2
| Copy | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dismiss (current copy) | Close this suggestion and move on, with the sense that it’s not relevant right now. | - |
| Skip | Don’t apply this suggestion now and continue editing, without rejecting it. | Users may be surprised to click skip, thinking it means "come back to this later" only to see it disappear from the list completely. |
| Ignore | Intentionally disregard this suggestion, which can feel dismissive or negative. | - |
| Decline (same as Checks) | Explicitly choose not to apply this suggestion, implying a more deliberate rejection. | - |
Open questions
- 1. When you elect to Dismiss/Ignore/Decline/Skip/etc. a Suggestion, how – if at all – is that choice persisted across edit sessions? Read: if you dismiss Suggestion Z in Article 1 via Edit Session A will you see Suggestion Z again when you edit Article 1 via Edit Session B?
- 2. Where (if at all) is data about declines surfaced on-wiki?
