UI concept (10.00 KB, patch)

Description Tim Starling 2009-05-04 03:58:35 UTC 
I would like to enable suppressrevision/deleterevision for sysops by default, for a default MediaWiki install. But the history page interface is excessively cluttered and confusing. While this might not be a problem for Wikipedia's elite, I think it may be overwhelming for someone using MediaWiki for the first time. 

Can we please have a method for hiding the less commonly used items on the history page, to be shown when a link or button is clicked? I'm especially interested in hiding the show/hide link and checkbox. Additionally hiding the comparison radio buttons would also be good, since the usability initiative found them to be distracting.

When the link to unhide the advanced items be using javascript?

==> setting "patch-reviewed" keyword.

Getting this into Gerrit would be great.
