Mock design

When deleting multiple revisions, the array of radioboxes with "set" and "unset" can be confusing.

Suggestion by User:DMacks is to label one "Hidden" and the other "Visible".

I've uploaded a mock as to what it would look like. Only the messages would be changed.

There's a "take" link up the top there, which does this quite well...

On reproducing the same, I found that there is no 'Set' or 'Unset' but the Yes or No radio buttons.

TTO: I think new Bugzilla users can't modify bugs. It's an open issue (bug 40497).
Comment 5 MZMcBride 2013-11-02 14:05:08 UTC
"Set/unset" is specific to the English Wikipedia:

* [[MediaWiki:Revdelete-radio-unset]]
* [[MediaWiki:Revdelete-radio-set]]

Message key names aside, the default values of these two messages are "no" and "yes" currently (cf. [[mw:MediaWiki:Revdelete-radio-unset]] and [[mw:MediaWiki:Revdelete-radio-set]]).

Resolving this bug should be a simple matter of editing the relevant i18n file in MediaWiki core.

Tony: does that help?

The messages are not a success now. When changing the visibility of just one revision it say's "edit summary" instead of "hide edit summary".

The other messages are still wrong. This is a poorly planned and executed change into the system. If there is just one revision to be hidden, the message next to the tick box says now "Edit summary" when it really should say "hide edit summary". The nice "Hidden" and "Visible" radio buttons simply do not appear in the page when there is just one revision to be hidden.

This change should be reverted altogether. It adds confusion instead of lessening it.
