It's proving its worth. Even though it's not finished yet, I think it's ready to unleash upon an unsuspecting public. Let's do it! :)

It was too easy so I'm re-purposing this bug into the "Make the revision dashboard discoverable" bug.

Open to suggestions for where links should go ...

What we need to do is add a "Tools" menu between "Languages" and "This page"; dashboards would be listed there. I only call the menu "Tools" rather than "Dashboards" because odds are there will be non-dashboard things that need to go there eventually, I suspect.

We should table this until rendered diffs are sorted out.

Comment 5

[David Walsh :davidwalsh]

Can you put this in the MDN zone, sheppy, so we can close this?

Comment 6

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

I still think we ought to have a menu alongside the gear menu that lists site tools including the revision dashboard, a link to the doc status overview page, and the like.

That said, I've added a couple more links to the revision dashboard here and there, but I don't think it's enough.

What use does the revdash have in the gears menu which is per-page?  If they care about revisions to that page, the revision history is there.

SUMO adds a "Contributor Tools" item to the head navigation when a user is signed-in. If we want to consider that ...

This is why I've been suggesting adding another menu: "Site Tools", as suggested also by groovecoder. This would include things like the revision dashboard, a link to the doc status and localization status overviews, "Promote MDN", help documentation, etc.

Changing the summary and adding this to the doc status tracker bug.
I guess having our new tools more visible could give them a boost.

Can anyone work on design/ui for this?

Possible design attached. 

Started discussions about this and the contents of the menu on the mdn mailing list.

Would "Topic drivers and curators"[1] be a good link to have in the Contact Us menus?

Bug 815693: Rename .user-state

Renamed user-state to oauth-logged-in to mirror oauth-login class as the two components swap places depending on user state. (I know this seems picky but it's to support some other more complex changes).

Bug 815693: Change main nav mixin to apply to header

Also Fix Bug 1070048

Basic idea is all elements in header now inherit text and link colours from the #header.

Test:
Check that menu items and sign/out widget have correct colours on:
- home
- a zone
- profile
- a wiki article

Bug 815693: Submenu CSS refactor & new header menu items

- header links and text (including inside drop downs) are correct colours on home, article, profile, and zone pages

- profile page submenu
- language & advanced submenu
- tools submenu
- feedback submenu
- login submenu
- search results submenu

- feedback appears with waffle on
- connect appears with waffle off
- site tools appears with waffle on

- all links in feedback work
- all links in site tools work

- social account provider list (profile - connect and create new account pages)

- accessibility navigation

Added header_tools flag for header tools.

Made changes to menu names as discussed in email.

Made spacing changes to navigation to accommodate longer words (this is a very English centric approach, I am a terrible person).

Restricted minimize-header-search() to not interfere with smaller screens.

Also Fix Bug #1180044 - homepage dev tools links
