Problem/Motivation

And dont tell me "if you can administer views you probably know where to find it" cause then with the same logic, we should remove the contextual links from everywhere.
Its purpose is to save you clicks and time

Also, it helps newcomers to be able to see, that they can edit this thing..not everyone know that "hey this is a view, i can go and edit this thing and add stuff if i visit Structure then Views, find it and click edit"

  • Usability

    Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

  • VDC

    Related to the Views in Drupal Core initiative.

  • Needs product manager review

    It is used to alert the product manager core committer(s) that an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the "user experience" of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. If an issue significantly affects the usability of Drupal, use Needs usability review instead (see the governance policy draft for more information).

    Hi,

    +1 for having contextual links enabled by default too.

    C'mon, folks, a decade has passed with no progress around such a minor issue. We always try to play democracy at its best; we listen to every voice. But why can it happen that 1 single person vetoes against seven others 📌 Bring back contextual links for admin views Active ? I agree that UX is a significant profession, but why can one not feel convinced and give up their viewpoint against others for such a minor issue?

    Meanwhile, during the last 10 years, can you imagine how many occasions our product has missed to let our users switch over quickly to the configuration page of a View? Yes, imagine because we don't have usage data (yet…). Therefore, referring to any numbers or percentages in any arguments in this discussion, I don't feel quite convincing.
