Drupal Usability Meeting 2023-04-21

Just tagged 🐛 UX: Hide entity ID in autocomplete widget Needs work for review, coudd be an interesting one to discuss, I can see a rational for making this change.

I think we should prioritise discussing ✨ Set Block Category to Bundle in block_content module Postponed .

At 📌 Drupal Usability Meeting 2023-04-14 Fixed , we discussed 📌 Rename Custom Block terminology in the admin UI Fixed and recommended changing the content block category from "Custom" to "Content block". The fact that the block placement list uses the word "categories" to group blocks was part of our rational for recommending that we simply use "block types" to describe the block content module's block types, and that the term "categories" on the block placement listing and that all content blocks are grouped under a single category, creates enough of a distinction between content blocks and blocks which are provided by code and config.

I don't disagree with the changes the issue is proposing, showing which type a content block is part of I'm sure is a good thing; But if ✨ Set Block Category to Bundle in block_content module Postponed were committed it would make that distinction less clear and blur the lines, where block types would be mixed in with other categories.

The group is actively tracking progress on:

• 🌱 [meta] Reorganize Block items in the administration menu Active

Issues brought forward from the previous meeting:

• ✨ [Meta] Appearance page is too long and confusing Active
• 📌 [PP-3] Figure out what to do with the install/uninstall modules page Postponed with notes:
  • #3307567: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-09-09 → : started discussing the proposed options but ran out of time, possibly splitting the confirm form into its own issue (we may want to look at that for both modules and themes, standard pattern, consider implications of project browser), worth considering parity with Drush (and other extension/package managers).
  • #3310096: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-09-23 → : @simohell presented the various proposals, but we again ran out of time to have a in-depth discussion, using the drop-button pattern on the module page for the existing links + Uninstall was suggested.
• 🐛 Placement of batch progress messages Active with notes:
  • #3322499: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-11-25 → : We started looking at the issue but ran out of time.
• ✨ Allow media items to be edited in a modal when using the field widget Postponed with notes:
  • @AaronMcHale: Issue could use some guidance.
    In comment #109 the issue was marked as postponed for needing input from UX, accessibility and media initiative. Apparently there are some outstanding UX/accessibility questions (but I'm not sure what they are). This was echoed in comment #111.
    Comment #144 is asking what is needed to move the issue along (the postponed state seems to be causing some delays/confusion as to how to proceed).
    Perhaps we can at least take a look at what the issue is doing and provide some recommendations/guidance on how it could be implemented.
• ✨ Allow blocks to be configured to show/hide on 200/403/404 response pages Fixed : see comment #3335028-6: Drupal Usability Meeting 2023-01-27 → for more details on what a review should address.
• 🐛 Password suggestions are hidden from screenreaders Active
• 🌱 [Policy] Remove tour module from core Fixed with notes:
  • @xjm tagged for review and sign off from the usability group before it can go ahead, noting that Tour is seen as a usability module and the core committers were not able to reach a consensus.
• 📌 Make core's structure descriptions more consistent Closed: won't fix
• 📌 Creating a new workspace should also switch to it Needs work
• 📌 Content translation overview should add destination query parameter Needs work raised in Slack by @smustgrave
• ✨ Provide Drupal root path on file system admin form Needs work
• 📌 Improve search settings help text Fixed
• 📌 Add image preload option to help boost actual and perceived performance Needs work
• 📌 Add image preload option to help boost actual and perceived performance Needs work
• 🐛 Wrong message on cancelling account with e-mail confirmation request Needs work with notes:
  • Reviewed at #3244123: Drupal Usability Meeting 2021-10-22 → and we made a recommendation (in comment #13), but there was a good point made in comment #17 so in #18 I tagged it again for review.
• 📌 Remove "Please" from the codebase Fixed
