MoodBar/Ideas log

This is the idea log for MoodBar.


 * Disabling the feature
 * It's not clear how I can re-enable the feature after clicking on the "I'm not interested" link. Can we think of some unobtrusive way to signal what happens on clicking this link?


 * Saliency
 * My feeling is that the link will be totally invisible to the majority of new users. Trying to put myself in a newbie's shoes, I counted roughly 30 GUI/navigational links that appear when I log in. When I click on the edit tab link, a 31st link appears but my attention is entirely drawn to the edit form, where I expect to focus after clicking on the edit link. I then go on editing the page, save it, check the result of my edit and browse away. The "feedback about editing link" has been outside the focus of my attention during the entire edit process. It's now sticking in the header but it'll be disconnected from the specific transaction I just completed. I assume new editors will become aware of its existence after a few edits and at that point they may realize that they can use it to provide feedback. If we want to make the moodbar transaction-centric we should probably rethink where/how we display it.


 * Layout consistency
 * We should probably standardize the appearance of these three links across all -1 to 100 features:
 * the what's this link reveals text on MoodBar but points to another page on WikiLove and AFT
 * the disable this link only appears in MoodBar and uses cookies; it's available on AFT but invisible in the GUI and implemented as a user pref
 * the close this link is an icon on WikiLove, a text link on MoodBar and is not available on AFT


 * Documentation
 * The documentation of these features partly lives on mw.org, partly on enwiki. Shall we use New_Editor_Engagement as an umbrella page where users can find the rationale and high level development plans for all -1 to 100 features? Or should this page live on Wikipedia's project namespace instead?
