Hi,
So after 2 weeks of available time to express opinions I have some
conclusions: we are going to implement P2.
I've created http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14265
We are going to make sure to have a span around the labels so that they can
be easily hidden in custom skins.
We had 42 votes around the subject held on 4 channels, for more details see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions#HVoting
P2 had 65% of the votes, while P4 35%.
Thanks everyone for the votes

I totally agree with this about the UI and wasted space and distractions.
Now this could be minor and the advantages for
the newcomers could be
more important than the
small downside for returning users.
Well newcomers just need to learn about the functions of the buttons by
using them once or twice. Whereas the rest of us have to deal with the
wasted space and distraction forever more :) Also, can't the concern about
newcomers (and the introduction to the purpose of the buttons) be addressed
with the tour application that now runs for new users?
Honestly I don't think everyone is going to agree on this. Whatever the
XWiki team chooses, will probably be fine. People will complain for a bit
and just move on with life. So I think the team should just take the result
from the poll and implement that as I think the topic could continue
indefinitely :-)
Kind regards,

just once know about them and don’t need the labels. I’d go as far as

From an usability perspective, having labels is unbeatable both for
new users and advanced users. Some summary until now:
P2: Craig, Olivier
P4: Mahomed, Steffen, Jesse, Miroslav
As a «fresh» user, I would prefer P2, mostly because I don’t think
that every newcomer will have the intuition to look at the top-right
corner of the page for its options. Adding labels allows for those
three icons to be more visible.
We could also display the icons labels only if
the user has the
«simple»
user profile and remove them as soon as he
becomes more advanced.
Not sure about making this configurable. It's a simple decision, we
need to agree on a default. With this approach we make everything in
XWiki configurable.
The advantage of reaching to newcomers is that in time they will also
become advanced users. We want to encourage user transformation. Also
I don't think users that start with a more explicit interface will
like the change after, since they will become accustomed to it.
