870831 - Page move: show progress info while moving pages

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

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

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
Currently, when moving pages, you sit with a spinning browser "waiting for response from server" kind of message with no indication of how the move is progressing. This is unnerving to say the least, especially for large moves. Please add a progress bar or something.

What problems would this solve?
===============================
This would make it easier to track page moves, and would reduce the chances of someone thinking something has failed. In general, it would just make the user feel better.

Who would use this?
===================
Anyone with page moving privs

What would users see?
=====================
A simple progress indicator, perhaps a bar with a "x of y files moved" counter that updates now and then, while pages are being moved.

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
No change to user actions.

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

Agreed. This would be a very worthwhile addition from a user experience point of view.

This is no longer valid, since page move sends email when complete now.
