357255 - add link to keyword descriptions to footer

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, enhancement)

Description

[Tim Abell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Version 2.22  

There is a link to edit keywords for admins, however I want a quick way for non logged in users to find a list of bugs related to a keyword.
I would suggest adding a "keywords" link to the footer that links to describekeywords.cgi
And maybe renaming not displaying if user is admin as it would be redundant.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
View home page of bugzilla without logging in.

Actual Results:  
Absence of any easy route to keyword list and related bugs.


Expected Results:  
Link to keyword list and then on to list of bugs for that keyword.

I think the footer has enough links in it already. I'm not sure that the list of valid keywords is so important that it should have a link in the footer. Suggesting WONTFIX. Max, what do you think?

If it doesn't go in the footer I'd settle for somewhere else, but as it stands I haven't found a way for non logged in users to get to the keywords page, short of emailing them a link. (Which they invariably lose!)

+1 on the wontfix.

I'd rather remove some of the things in the footer and have a 'My Bugs' page that isn't just buglist.cgi. The only thing I might like is some general Bugzilla info page.

Note that on every bug page (show_bug.cgi) describekeywords.cgi is already linked. Not in the most clear way, but it is linked. See "Keywords".

Ah, ok. On second looking I see a better route through.

Home > Search > Advanced > Keywords

This is probably good enough for my users.

Sorry guys.

Well, at this point we have so many WONTFIX comments in this bug that even if I changed the summary, people would get confused. :-)

So I'll WONTFIX this bug. It's possible that there should be a clearer link to the Keyword Descriptions somewhere, though.
