Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Archive/Consolidate full-page view caption and attribution UIs
Consolidate full-page view caption and attribution UIs
Withdrawn by proposer (too many proposals)
- Problem: There are three (!) separate pieces of UI that all essentially do the same thing: display caption and attribution information when viewing full-page media content. These are Media Viewer - used on the desktop site, a Media Viewer clone - used on the mobile site, and Kartographer's full-page view - used when viewing maps. A particular problem is the very poor handling of captions by the image and maps viewers on the mobile site.
- Who would benefit: Readers would get more consistent experiences when viewing media content. Developers wouldn't have to maintain three different designs of wheel.
- Proposed solution: Merge the two image viewers and adapt the relevant components to the map viewer.
