467510 - Remove 'bug' from all page titles containing bug number

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, enhancement)

Description

[Vitaly Fedrushkov]

Many default templates use 'Bug XXXXX ...' as page title.  With tabbed browsing, word 'Bug' eats up precious tabs space (with top/bottom tabs only, but side tabs are uncommon).  With localized terms and many tabs users see only

Bug...|Bug...|Bug...|Bug...

Expected results: distinctive favicon.ico and bug number is enough to identify both Bugzilla instance and bug number.

Idea coined by bugzilla.altlinux.org users and implemented by dottedmag: see URL

We could instead put the bug number at the end, that'd keep it in the title but away from the start of tabs.

This would be a little problematic for people who have lots of bugs with similar titles.

Comment 2

[Mikhail Gusarov]

The idea is to have bug # at the beginning, but without the "Bug" word, which eats the space on tabs.

Comment 3

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Oh, yes, that's a great idea, let's do that.

Comment 4

Also it would be good to indicate bug status/resolution using icons:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="...">

Icon overlays are widely used for the same in version control UI

This is a separate request, and a bug has already been filed some time ago, IIRC.

Comment 6

[Frédéric Buclin]

Adding references to bugs in russian are pretty unhelpful to us. Please only add references to bugs being in english.

Removed "Bug" word from title of the browser where bug numbers are present.

This change is only relevant for bug reports, for which the title starts with "Bug". Leave other templates alone; one reason is that it's very hard to click on a one or two digit link while it's much easier to click on a link such as "bug 35".

Only titles that starts with Bug.

On checkin, replace [%+ by [%. We don't want the extra whitespaces in the title.

I don't think this needs to be mentioned in the release notes.
