Description

It would help to add "Wikipedia App FAQ" directly W menu > more. Could reduce repeated questions.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Android_FAQ
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/iOS_FAQ

iOS QA Notes

Feature "More" View

Scenario: Navigation

Given I'm looking at the "W" nav menu
When I tap the "More" button
Then I should see the "More" menu (see final screenshot below)
And the search site preferences should be on top
And the "About" section should be second
...

Given I'm on the "More" view
When I tap the "FAQ" button
Then I should see the iOS App FAQ Wiki

Developer-tested on iOS 8 iPhone 6 simulator.

Change 214630 abandoned by Mholloway:
Add FAQ link to nav drawer menu

Reason:
Makes sense. My initial impulse was to have the FAQ up front and easy to find, but it does make more sense in the "more" menu.

@Vibhabamba @Mholloway and @Moushira, where did you (or should I) put the FAQ button in the iOS app "More" menu? I went ahead and put it before the "rate the app" button, but my fledgling UX designer senses tell me that's not entirely right.

I would place it as <Wikipedia App FAQ> under <About the Wikipedia App> button.

Cool, I guessed correctly. Here's where I have it positioned in our layout.

Screenshot_2015-06-05-09-41-48.png (2×1 px, 141 KB)

How about wording? I used "Wikimedia Apps FAQ" as a way of distinguishing it from the Wikipedia Zero FAQ just a little ways up the menu.

Though that was before the iOS and Android app FAQs were split, so it should probably at least be singular, not plural.

@Mholloway Yep, let's go with "Wikipedia App FAQ".

@Moushira I thought of that, but it seems out of place under the "Privacy And Terms" section. What do you think?

@Dbrant @Mdholloway @Moushira maybe we should adopt android's section header as well, replacing "Privacy and Terms" with "About."

@BGerstle-WMF I think that's a good idea. A bit friendlier, more broadly encompassing, still a natural place for privacy policy and terms of use links to be.

Only problem with changing our section header is that doing so would invalidate all our localizations

Maybe worth it...

@Moushira it is done:

About section update.png (1×750 px, 91 KB)

@Vibhabamba @Moushira only thing is that now we have an "About" header and an "About the Wikipedia app" item. IMO the "About the Wikipedia app" should be broken out into separate items:

Licenses
Contributors/Authors
App version (maybe in the header/footer of the entire view)
Acknowledgements (TSG, translations)
"Send feedback" (boy is that buried!)

Maybe a separate task, though.

Also, should "About" be above "Wikipedia Zero"?

+1 to "About" being above "Wikipedia Zero".

"About the Wikipedia App" I suggest breaking it into:

-Add "Acknowledgement" button and include: "Contributors/Authors/Traslators/QA"
-Add "Repositories" button for Github,Gerrit, and libraries used.
-I suggested promoting "Send feedback" to this menu earlier, but there was resistance around making it more visible, given our capacity to handle this.
-App version goes to footer

New task? :)

@Moushira i think a separate task, yeah. Will create & put it in the triage column.

I think it is fine, but then this would change even more after breaking "About the Wikipedia App" section.

• KLans_WMF moved this task from To Do to Design Signoff on the Mobile-App-Sprint-59-Android-Getting-the-Band-Back-Together board.

@Moushira @Vibhabamba @Fjalapeno here's the compromise which adds a new "About" section which makes more sense for the FAQ:

Keeping "Privacy and Terms" (localized in many languages) and adding "About" w/ the new "FAQ" button.

Signed off by design as long as 'About' & 'FAQ' localization is not an issue.

Checked on WikipediaApp/4.1.5.143 Tablet (iPad mini) OS 8.2 - FAQ is not translated(but it's not an issue per Vibhabamba)

The community will handle translations, but lets at least avail the English one for now :)
