Voting for P2
Arguments here :
https://thomasbyttebier.be/blog/the-best-icon-is-a-text-label
"Pencil" and "+" Icons are not explicit for everyone.
But I would go further :
1/ "Create" does't tell me what I will create. The next screen tells me
Create Page. => so I think : "Create a new page" is more relevant
(in the landing page, we could include the "Duplicate this page" (aka
"copy") function
2/ The "kebab" 3 vertical dots is not explicit either : doesn't tell me
what's behind (what's the difference with the hamburger)=> I think it would
be better to display "More actions" (which is coherent because Edit and
Create (a new page) are the most performed actions (presumably)

This P2 is much nicer, but I still prefer P4.
I can see why some people like P2 as it is more descriptive. But, P4 still
matches the current icons better (and I am guessing not many people have
complained that they don't know what those mysterious buttons in the top
right are for.) Additionally there's a tool tip when you hover over the
buttons and once you know what the button does, you don't actually need the
label.
The icons are pretty universal as well. i.e. a Pencil indicates editing
and a Plus sign indicates "adding".
I don't suppose this could be a wiki wide configurable option? :) Or maybe
something that can be turned on/off with a class in the skin.
Kind regards,

Hi Caty,
I would use the Edit text w/ pencil on Edit and just the plus icon for
Create. The reason is Edit needs to be differentiated from Create, but
this is accomplished with the word Edit. On small resolutions (iPhone)
I think it is acceptable to hide the word Edit.
I have to disagree here. The purpose is to promote and highlight both
important actions and that is both 'Edit' and 'Create'. The
'plus' sign can
be also confusing for new users. Highlighting just 'Edit' would be hard to
justify.
The triple-dot icon needs to be a button. P2 has it as a free-floating
icon, P4 has it as a button: it needs to be a button as per P4.
Yes, a better screenshot for P2 is

The symmetric P4 screenshot is

Thanks,

Otherwise, looks good!
Be well,
Craig

Hi,
I'm voting for P2 because it is making the visual style of buttons
with dropdown menu to look as they should look, with indication of
the
dropdown
menu.
Secondly, the visual style of the edit page button will keep
consistent with the buttons for inline section editing.
Best regards,
Miroslav Galajda
