Storing current scroll location for each article?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

There's been suggestions in a few feedback emails that saving pages (or otherwise returning to an article) should also store where you are on the page - e.g. scroll location, and perhaps what you were searching for with 'Find in page'.

E.g.:
https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=8079659
https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=7986788

This is a nice idea to support the "I'm not finished reading, and want to read it later" use case. We'd need to think about how to do this in a way that doesn't get annoying for the other use cases, and also so that if you reach the end of the article that you don't just end up at the end next time you browse to it.

Sorry, should have been closed a while ago. We now preserve the scroll position of articles.
