improve preload

  • Problem:
    • Preload isn't compatible with the new reply tool (phab:T285358) and with the visual mode (phab:T253136)
    • It can be difficult to use for new editors (it could use something like TemplateWizard)
    • Some parameters (like title page) should be autocomplete in ocasions (phab:T292681)
    • It ins't available in my language (phab:T299544)
  • Proposed solution: specified above
  • Who would benefit: users that notify falses positives of bots/filters or bugs, create wishes, vote, etc.
  • More comments: Same wiki creates their own tools to remplace preload in specific pages (like this)
  • Phabricator tickets: specified above

Discussion

  • I was just discussing a similar thing the other way around here. (Check mostly the last comments in that conversation, especially the links provided in them. The rabbit hole goes a bit deep.) I'd be happy in seeing this getting done. - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:11, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello USI2020! First off, as you obviously know, this proposal is of great interest to Community Tech, who use preload tmeplates here in the survey! So we a vested interest to improve this :) However I worry we're asking for too many things here. Discussion Tools is under active development, so bugs like phab:T285358 and phab:T269310 should be handled by them in the near-term. Meanwhile, there are workarounds for phab:T299544 (we use them here in the survey). I think what you want, and what we want, is basically a "preload TemplateWizard", where you are prompted with a visual form to fill out the values for a template. The template itself will be translatable (like Template:Community Wishlist Survey/Proposal, so you end up with localized labels. Would that work for you? If so would you mind rewording your proposal to focus on that, or I can do it for you? Otherwise, if you don't mind, please select one of the issues you mention, or we can offer to move this to our Larger suggestions category. I'm sorry we're asking this so late... we have until 18:00 UTC! Thanks, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 02:35, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    And we are out of time. That's okay though; I'll move this to Larger suggestions. Thanks for participating in the survey, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 16:31, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
