As part of Article Guidance (T396029), assistance is provided to identify the subject for the article users are trying to create. The "article type selection" step (T415483) shows Wikidata items matching the proposed title for the user to select the relevant ones, as well as the "None of these? [Pick a type instead]" option. The later message assumes that some results are shown above. However, currently that message also shows when there are no results:
This ticket proposes to adjust the "None of these? [Pick a type instead]" when there are no results (and only in that case). The message could become just "[Pick a type instead]" (i.e., removing the "None of these?" part) since there is a message shown above explaining that there are no results.
Design
Current footer "None of these? [Pick a type instead]" carries an assumption that only holds when results are rendered above.
- "None of these?": "these" needs a visible antecedent. Breaks in the no-results state and in the technical-failure state (T422841).
Design direction
A single state-independent label that names the situation ("subject unavailable") without depending on what's rendered above.
Proposal
Subject unavailable? Pick a type instead
