I'm not sure that's a problem. The default behavior of the "create
page"
button is to create a page that is a child of the current page. Therefore,
it can be considered a "current page-related" action.
- It conflicts
with AWM`s "Add new Entry" button
Indeed, this would need to be improved.
- from my POV,
looking at the page from a far, the new location looks
completely randomly selected:
-- It's not on the left/top (as left-to-right language specific brains
are
trained to follow)
-- it's not exactly at the top either
-- it's not at the right
-- it basically is almost in the middle of the screen
- etc. (i.e. others that don`t come right now to
my mind)
I don't have a strong feeling about this. The only comparison I can think
of right off the bat is Confluence, which has the same button in a similar
location. It doesn't seem to be causing issues to their users.
I would see sense in adding "comment" as an option next to "page" and
"page
from office".
-- it's
not next to the type of elements it creates (i.e. next to
WIKI/SPACE/PAGE)
As stated previously, I think having the same "Create" button for 3 actions
that are fundamentally different is the larger issue here. I suggested a
solution in the aforementioned email thread (separating the "create space"
and "create wiki" buttons).
Thanks,
Guillaume
I`d like to open a discussion on this, since it's
quite an important
aspect
of the UI and, due to it's shiny green color
(which I like :)), it`s hard
to miss.
Is it just me who's resistant to change, or do others see a problem here
with this as well?
Thanks,
Eduard
