comparison Choose between "Edit" and "Edit source" is very confusing for a beginner A solution would be to move the "edit source" button to action menu (the one dropdown, where is the button "move") (see video in attachment) -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: enhancement **Whiteboard**: usability **See Also**: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49666 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50540 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50688 **Attached**: {F12114}

Instead of adding a second edit tab, provide an integration that only uses one edit tab. For **logged-out users**: * Show a single tab, labelled "Edit" regardless of which editor will be loaded. * Store in a cookie the user's last-used editor where they had a choice of editors (//e.g.// edits to Talk:/Template: don't count). * When a user clicks the edit tab, read the cookie and load that editor if available. * When a user clicks the edit tab and no cookie is set (very first time), load the wiki-specific default editor for first time (//aka// 'primary') * Let the user switch to the other editor if appropriate through a button on the toolbar. * If they switch, update the cookie. For **logged-in users** (where we can do this): * Show a single tab * For default user options ("remember my last editor")… ** Label the tab "Edit" if they last used VE when they had a choice, "Edit source" if they last used WT. ** Store in a preference the user's last-used editor where they had a choice of editors (//e.g.// edits to Talk:/Template: don't count). ** When a user clicks the edit tab, read the preference and load that editor if available. ** When a user clicks the edit tab and no preference is set (very first time), load the wiki-specific default editor for first time (//aka// 'primary'). ** Let the user switch to the other editor if appropriate through a button on the toolbar. ** If they switch, update the preference. * For users opting to "always prefer the visual editor"… ** Label the tab "Edit" if it will load VE, "Edit source" if it will load WT. ** When a user clicks the edit tab, load VE if available. ** Let the user switch to the other editor if appropriate through a button on the toolbar. ** If they switch, do not change their preferences. * For users opting to "always prefer the wikitext editor"… ** Label the tab "Edit" always. ** When a user clicks the edit tab, load WT regardless. ** Let the user switch to the other editor if appropriate through a button on the toolbar. ** If they switch, do not change their preferences. * For users opting to "always show two edit tabs"… ** Add where appropriate a second edit tab, with current behaviour (Edit/Edit source). ** When a user clicks an edit tab, load said label's editor. ** Let the user switch to the other editor if appropriate through a button on the toolbar. ** If they switch, do not change their preferences. * For users opting to "temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta"... ** Don't change their edit tab experience at all, //i.e.// show one edit source tab labelled as 'edit'.
