Change Details

#### Background In a previous iteration, the each Saved Message had 3 parts: - Title (Not displayed on receiving user talk page) - Subject (Displayed at top of message posted on user talk page) - Message The team decided to remove "Title", and now "Subject" is the identifier for each message. We are planning to prevent saving duplicates based on Subject in the current version. A few reasons it was decided to remove "Title": - Having both a subject and a title could be confusing for users as to which one is posted, and which one is the internal ID - Having to fill out multiple fields when creating a new message added friction to the user experience - The work began on adding support for [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T355141 | Templates ]], and we assumed many experienced users will utilize Templates instead of Saved Messages If users want to save messages with similar titles, but different messages, they would need to make slight adjustments to the subject to identify the different versions. However, these adjustments would need to be something they're ok with the receiver of the message seeing. #### User Stories - As a patroller, I want to have multiple versions my Reliable Sources warning message, with more details for newer users and less detail for experienced users. It would be helpful to be able to name these messages with my own convention such as reliablesourcesNew and reliabllesourcesExp so that I can quickly find and send the appropriate message. - As an patroller on German Wikipedia, I want to have two versions of the NPOV message: both with the equivalent title of "Neutral point of view", but one where the message is formal tone, and one in the informal tone for when I know the editor well. - As an patroller on Indonesian Wikipedia, I want to save a short version of my Conflict of Interest warning message, and a longer version. #### Requirements This task is to add support for an optional title-type identifier for users that want to save multiple versions of a message with a similar subject. It is a nice-to-have improvement for after initial release, to be prioritized if we hear requests for this functionality. - Add additional identifier/nickname field when creating a message, or editing an existing message - Identifier should be viewable from list of Saved Messages (to facilitate quick message selection) - Adding identifier or title should be optional when creating a message - Communicate to user that this field is an optional, internal nickname - Identifier/nickname should not be visible in published talk page message {F42772555}
