I noticed that Special:NewPagesFeed doesn't like to a help page, while other pages link to help pages, such as Special:NewPages linking to Help:New pages. I think a help page should be created for documenting the special page added by this extension, and have started a draft at User:DannyS712/Help:New pages feed. Any help or feedback is welcome; feel free to edit it yourself to fix it, I only have a beginning now. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 03:31, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
Topic on Extension talk:PageTriage/Flow
Hi Danny, good point that the help link is missing. However the software currently only works at Enwiki, so I suggest that we just write a task to add one of those standard "Help" links to the top-right corner of the UI, which can then point to the existing docs at w:Wikipedia:Page Curation/Help. I wouldn't want to waste the time of translators (by making docs over here) if other communities can't use the feature. I hope that makes sense! I've filed it as phab:T224816 - patches welcome if you know how that all works!
They can use the feature, they just don't within the wikimedia cluster... what about the software makes it only work on enwiki? And yes, I am a bit familiar with how adding documentation links works - see phab:T224793
Hi. I'm basing that comment on the second paragraph in Extension:PageTriage, and the long discussions elsewhere (with phab:T50552 being just the latest). :-(
Re: knowing how to add them, oh! excellent! maybe you have some advice for phab:T220147#5190275? :-)
Well, we could add a "see also" link to enwiki, but in the interest of making the extension more wiki-agnostic I personally think a page here would be better
I believe the standard Help link indicators do usually point to this wiki by default, but they're contained in normal interface strings so local wikis can override them - I guess T224816 could best be solved by making the default link point to a very short page here (perhaps the page you're drafting), and then change the Enwiki link to point locally.
(For example, see how they've done it at w:en:MediaWiki:Search-helppage which changes the link in search results. However this is also a bad habit in some cases, because it can lead to badly-forked/outdated local docs :-( This example being a case-in-point, because I personally always want the more detailed info at Help:CirrusSearch on this wiki! >.<)
But to briefly repeat myself, my main concern is wasting any time of translators, so just don't write any extensive docs here (yet!), but a short page is probably good. HTH!
I'd like to publish User:DannyS712/Help:New pages feed within the next ~week, so if you have any improvements you'd like to make please do
