Extension:Newsletter/DesignReview

http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ManageNewsletter
 * it isn't clear how the newsletters are ordered
 * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/249996/3
 * permissions model is binary? publisher or not? this seems a bit weird...
 * how many publishers can a single newsletter have?
 * how do I add or remove a publisher?
 * action column is large unused, except for a single remove button?
 * okay, so the answer here is possibly to combine both table columns ("Permissions" and "Action") into a single "Actions" column, where "publisher" turns into a pencil icon or something, maybe grayed out if the user doesn't have publisher permission, and the "remove" button becomes a trash can icon or an "x"
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118369
 * not clear what the contributors column is... single username?
 * not sure this column is needed at all
 * it isn't possible to order any of the table columns
 * Assuming that 'order any of the table columns' implies to sort the table columns https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117043
 * how does this scale when there are 500 newsletters? is there pagination support?
 * Yes, we use TablePager class
 * not sure "announce this newsletter" should live under "manage newsletters"... there should probably be a dedicated Special page for this?
 * TO BE DISCUSSED
 * "title of issue's main page" text input should support page autocompletion using AJAX
 * Glaisher> Makes sense to implement this in core as we now use HTMLTitleTextField. Filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117033
 * newsletter names should be links to the Special:Newsletter/1234 pages

http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletter/11
 * why are we outputting the newsletter ID? who cares?
 * how do I edit any of the fields???
 * could redo key:\n value layout with a simple sentence at the top saying "FooBar is a yearly newsletter about main page. This newsletter has 45 subscribers and is published by UserA and UserB."; this might be less awkward and easier to understand quickly
 * "Main page" probably doesn't need a "hist" link?

http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:CreateNewsletter
 * frequency input is awkward; probably shouldn't default to other with a text input
 * not clear why the frequency field exists
 * "Title of Main Page" should support page title autocompletion using AJAX
 * if all fields are required, say so initially
 * how is name of newsletter distinct from newsletter main page; are both fields needed?
 * description field seems to be plaintext; needs further thought

http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters
 * instructions say preferences can be changed at Special:Preferences... is this true currently?
 * http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ManageNewsletter says "Contributors" while http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletter/2 says "Publisher"; pluralization mismatch; word choice mismatch?
 * You may subscribe to this newsletter by pressing the "Subscribe" button if you wish to do so. <-- this instruction really shouldn't be needed, just include the subscribe button again at the bottom? or move the button to the bottom?
 * intro text at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletter/2 is awkward ("This page allows you to view details about specific newsletters. There is also an overview of all newsletters on this wiki."); none of that text should be necessary...
 * why is "Subscriber count" at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters a text input?
 * why are newsletters with 0 subscribers listed at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters ? maybe they should be...
 * "A newsletter with the same name already exists. Try again with another name" error appears when "Title of Main Page" is already reserved; this error message is confusing and wrong; the newsletter name is not already taken, the main page is, right?
 * successful submission of < http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:CreateNewsletter > should probably just lead directly to < http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ManageNewsletter > with the success note at the top of the page, probably
 * or go directly to Special:Newsletter/12345
 * "Description" field at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters is output without sanitization
 * XSS issue for sure
 * frequency text input allows weird inputs such as "after the twelfth hour of the twelfth day of the t"
 * offered a non-functioning "Delete" button at 
 * publisher can't delete own newsletters?
 * don't offer a button a user can't press
 * results in permissions error for me
 * http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ManageNewsletter <-- what does remove button do? seems to make table row temporarily disappear only
