Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Miscellaneous/The "tag name" on the change line should link directly to "tagged changes"/Proposal

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: The tag on the change line currently looks like this:

        14:33 John Callahan's Quads! (diff | hist) .. (−12) .. Rng0286 (talk | contribs) (lorem ipsum) (Tags: Visual edit, Mobile web edit)

    The tag name is either a link to a help page or just plain text. It is not easy to find edits with the same tag.

  • Proposed solution: Change the tag display on the change line. The tag name should link directly to the "tagged changes" at Special:RecentChanges. For example: the tag "VisualEditor" would link to Recent Changes but showing only edits with the #VisualEditor tag (example), tag "Mobile web edit" links to example, etc. Like this:

        14:33 John Callahan's Quads! (diff | hist) .. (−12) .. Rng0286 (talk | contribs) (lorem ipsum) (Tags: VisualEditor, Mobile web edit)

    A new Special redirect could be introduced as well, such as Special:Tags/tag_name page that would redirect to Special:RecentChanges showing only edits with the given tag.

  • Who would benefit: All editors
