Thread:Talk:New Page Patrol Zoom Interface/KISS/reply

Not a reply, but a add-on - coming from meta:Research talk:New Page Patrol survey.

I've read a couple good ideas in here - like making the patrol-link easily accessible, or marking as patrolled as soon as a 'patroller' edits the article; or making it easier to sort and pick new pages. But overall the proposal is absolutely horrible and un-wiki, as I understand it. You are trying to make a full blown graphical application. I presume someone thinks that is good, this forum works more or less on thal principle, no? Well, this forum is horrible. I had to wait for a page to load while it goes bumping all over has stuff gets loaded and suddenly gets hid away by some Java-thingie. Someone is overdoing it. Reminds me of a nice text about game design over-developing, not exactly the same here, but close enough. Please, keep it simple. Probably all it needs a some simple aid (say some bot could help categorise and sort, also largely reducing the number of templates). - Nabla 16:26, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
