Update "Dropdown Buttons"

Created on 27 September 2017, about 7 years ago
Updated 11 March 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

The UI standard page for Dropdown needs to be updated https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/user-interface-standards/dropbutton

Proposed resolution

Rewrite the page and add missing screenshots.
Check whether core modules follow this standard.

Remaining tasks

1. How-Why-Examples. Change the order of the text to first say, how dropdowns should be used, then why, and then follow it up by a good example
2. If screenshots are missing: add them
3. Add one sentence summary that's useful in: https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/user-interface-standards
4. Add the correct Drupal 8 API links
5. Check several core admin pages whether they use the dropdowns this way. Add in a comment for the pages you have checked
6. If you find an admin page that does not follow this standard; create an issue to fix this

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

    It would make a good project for someone who is new to the Drupal contribution process. It's preferred over Newbie.
