Description MZMcBride 2012-06-22 19:35:11 UTC
The current VisualEditor interface has a prominent "Save page" button, but no "Cancel" button. It would be nice if there were a clear exit strategy in the interface.
Comment 1 James Forrester 2012-06-22 22:05:27 UTC
Mass-moving items into VisualEditor product
Comment 2 James Forrester 2012-06-23 01:00:29 UTC
Trevor - thoughts on this as intended behaviour?
Comment 3 This, that and the other (TTO) 2012-06-24 01:14:13 UTC
Perhaps the browser Back button could be harnessed for this purpose, by changing the actual URL without reloading the page (like Facebook does when browsing photos, for instance) or even just the anchor?

But yes, I agree that a clearer way of "cancelling" needs to be given within the actual interface, in addition to the Back button.

You should file this as a separate bug (if one doesn't exist already). :-)

Added cancel button to VisualEditor MediaWiki Integration.

Awaiting review.
