It would be very useful if we could enable users to add URL parameters after a link to the feedback page, in order to insure that the page is filtered and sorted the same way for all users who click on that link. Here is an example of what such a link might look like: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/release-en/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Golden-crowned_Sparrow?filter=relevant&sort=date&sort-order=newest Clicking on such a link would cause the page to be filtered by relevance, and sorted by date, with the newest post listed first. We may even want to have these parameters appear in the address bar after a user clicks on a filter or sort link, essentially refreshing the page to include the full URL, so that it can be easily shared. Here are some examples of wording we might use for the filter and sort URLs: Filters: relevant comments helpful featured all-visible Sort: relevance date helpfulness rating Sort order: most-relevant least-relevant newest oldest Similarly, we could use a URL parameter to cause the feedback page to display the latest post from a user, perhaps by adding a '&latest-post=<postID>' at the end of the URL. With that in mind, other parameter labels not specified here would generally match the wording used in our feature requirements page, under the filter and sort sections: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Article_feedback/Version_5/Feature_Requirements#Feedback_Page_for_Readers
Filters in url: add GET-parameter 'filter', e.g. ?filter=featured List of filters: featured, unreviewed, helpful, unhelpful, flagged, useful, resolved, noaction, inappropriate, archived, allcomment, hidden, requested, declined, oversighted, all If a filter is outside of a user's permissions, it will fallback to the default filter. Sort in url: add GET-parameter 'sort', e.g. ?sort=age-DESC List of sorts: relevance-DESC, relevance-ASC, age-DESC, age-ASC, helpful-DESC, helpful-ASC Feedback id in url: add hash <id> on article feedback page, e.g. #04f96b0b20b0f1dc09e4842b2b77e6f9
Thanks for doing this, Matthias, this is great!
