Seperate messages into categories

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Currently, it is often hard to find the correct message, with the increasing amount of messages and the dropdown becoming longer and longer as messages get added.
A possible solution to this could be to separate them into categories, by which they are sorted and maybe have some bold text as a separator in the dropdown (similarily to Jira:

This is also a possible alternate solution to #96, as certain applications could filter certain categories (and thus make Bot messages not appear on the site at all).

Possible categories could include:

  • Duplicate
  • Invalid
  • Awaiting Response
  • Panels / Notices
  • Misc
  • Bot messages

Would want to include Incomplete also. What would be even more useful (to me anyway) would be to have the most commonly used messages available with a single click. Those would be Duplicate, Incomplete, A-R, and various Invalid ones. Others would probably want different ones though.

Or could they just all be listed on a page, organized by categories, and eliminate the selection dropdown entirely?

That would be one for misc. There is only one message for that, so no need for an extra category.

Those a very useful yes, at least in my opinion. Except "Attach new attachment" which is mostly used by Arisa when an attachment was automatically deleted (but could also be used by a mod in case of a manual action)

It could make sense to have a dropdown per category or something else. We could make a mockup for a new design.
