UX requested that: * Since we will no longer mention OAuth on the preferences screen (bug 55716), and to allow users to understand what these "Connected Apps" are, add a "Learn More" link that links to a page about OAuth. (where?) * Instead of one link to "manage", have a separate link (or preferably, button) to deauthorize the Consumer. The "manage" form would only be used to update the grants.

So this would go in mwoauthmanagemygrants-text? Would it go to a blank local page by default? Maybe it could default to a policy page on the central wiki? This still pretty vague.

I was looking for a way for the extension to insert a Manual: page, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. Since Jared also recommended having the grants on /authorize link to a page where the exact rights are listed too, what about having Special:MWOAuth/about (or another special page entirely) that just outputs a bunch of text about the extension? The other option would be to have a translatable link that points to the Extension page on mw.o, and we can translate to other pages as needed?

It's a lot easier for non-developers to improve the user-facing help page when it's on mw.o instead of being contained in the i18n files in the code.
