Event Timeline
@violetto Are the icons already somewhere? There's also the 'Edit' link missing an icon, see https://livingstyleguide.wmflabs.org/wiki/Checks,_radios_and_toggles
View source is put in place where "Edit" or "Edit source" is disabled. View source lets you view the source, just like you would when you click on edit, but without the ability to edit.
What do you think about using this icon:
@Volker_E, icons are already within the oojs library.
We don't yet have a finished "Edit" (with VE) icon.
@violetto I think that's a very nice icon on a big size, for 24x24 px size I'm wondering about the significance/clarity of both symbols (edit pencil and lock icon) together.
Change 252973 had a related patch set uploaded (by VolkerE):
Add icon for 'View Source' menu item
I don't think View and View source map to Edit and Edit source. One can argue that they somewhat do, but…
In my understanding:
- View: Just normally viewing the page
- View source: The edit page protected for editing (see when logged out)
- Edit source: WikiEditor
- Edit: VisualEditor
It seems promising, that we will see just one "Edit" link in near future, looking at progress over at T58337: Change VE integration to only use one edit tab, to avoid user choice paralysis.
