1213229 - Get rid of the tag case mismatch message

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
When an editor try to use a tag with the wrong case, an error message is displayed.

Proposal: get rid of the message altogether, switch the misspelled tag with the correct one, without notifying the user.

What problems would this solve?
===============================
There are a few problems that this will solve:

1. The editor has no real choice: she has to use the correct case (or not use the tag)
2. The message is far from the place where tags are listed.
3. The tags list is empty, so the user has to do it again
4. The message is not very obvious to see. (It took me time to notice it and understand

Who would use this?
===================
Editors

What would users see?
=====================
Nothing, the tags are silently change to the correct case.

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
No action required from them instead of a cryptic one.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================

The error message to get rid of.

FWIW, this would get rid of the ability to detect cases in which the wrong casing was used for a *new* tag and subsequently tries to correct it in the editing workflow would not work. I think that's fine as long as we have a way to fix tags via other means (e.g. the Django admin).

I think it is fine. When is a new tag created? When we save the page or when we click "enter" to start entering the next tag? (I think it is the former).

Comment 4

[Jannis Leidel [:jezdez]]

Yeah, once the page is saved.
