Extension name in project start UI should be new Wikimedia Commons (instead of Commons Extension)

Closed this issue 2 years ago · 6 comments

Currently the Commons Extension is called 'Commons Extension' in the blue project start 'Get data from' menu.

To be consistent with other data sources / extensions, let's rename it to *new* Wikimedia Commons per @lozanaross suggestions.

Wireframes:

Do we actually want the *new* ? I understood it as an artifact from Lozana to help us identify the changes in the wireframes, but not go in the actual UI.

I think the new is nice - it's a new option for users after they install the extension. It attracts the attention of users, too, not just a wireframe artefact. But if you think it will "get old" too quickly, fine to skip it.

Ok! My vote would be to do without (I indeed think it will not age well), or if we have it, then use some other way to emphasize the new (for instance with bold or italics, or have the * replaced by actual star icons). In my perception, using * in this way feels too informal (a bit like like adding :-) in some UI text).

I agree with Antonin. That said, it makes me think that it could be a nice pattern to have "something that draws attention to a freshly installed extension". Making the extension's name bold, e.g. until the user has actually clicked on it, sounds like a nice simple first approach.

For now, format the same as the other data sources.
