Description Platonides 2010-06-07 22:21:12 UTC
Provided there's enough screen space, hiding tabs in the dropdown makes things harder.

Sysops should be able to protect pages with a click, or directly delete pages without going to a menu when doing maintenance.
Since these are power users, they shouldn't be "confused about which button to click". It's more annoying having to go the extra step of the down arrow.

Additionally, not having all the buttons lead to a "I'm not logged in" feeling.


Move entry should be visible. Not having it readily visible (and note it won't appear the first time you explore the interface, it will come 4 days later), leads to pages "moved" by copy & paste.

Not an exact dupe, but this bug pretty much makes the same points as comment #5 on that bug.
