Clickable Anchors for Non-Developers & Newcomers Anchors. "Updating Drupal" Pages.

Dear hansfn :) Thank you for your reply #3 above

I think the visible anchor indicators look ugly has a hell

Same here. Back then years ago we tried at least 20 different draft proposals. The consensus was that this was the less-ugly option, LOL ;) Actually the favorite option was a CSS hidden clickable anchor. In other words, invisible by default, and visible on mouse over only. But such CSS is not yet supported in Drupal doc. We tried, but on save, those CSS are automatically filtered out by the text filter. Bummer :(

A simple reference to that discussion, immediately

This is your reminder that most contributors to Drupal are unpaid volunteers like you

No worry I will not try to interfere with you <3. How about you, are you going to try to interfere with other contributors? By "interfere" I mean telling others how, or when, or where to contribute.

Your proposals are really welcome :) But interference is not :( If you will go on the "interference" road I'll let you go there alone. Sorry.

With infinite Drupal love and without interference ♥

since you seemed to just ignore my comments and didn't reply to the PMs I sent you.

I'm assuming you're asking if I was ignoring your comment. No I was not. As you know I'm a volunteer. I would love to reply immediately but that's not realistic with my present workload. Speaking for myself I batch my replies. Delay can be anywhere between hours and months. My previous reply above was included in my last batch. Feel free to reply to your comments when it's convenient for you and use any format to your liking. To each their own.

By the way I replied twice to your private messages (PMs). Via direct email and via reference in Drupal.org. Then you replied to both of them. So I'm assuming your received my PMs. Maybe somehow an email glitch between you and me resulted in you not receiving my replies, or the mischievous spam folder, LOL (joke ;)

, but if there is a consensus about adding them we shouldn't waste any more time on this issue.

Sure let's move on to another contribution :) In the future, if you change find another resolution to the challenge about this User Story and its Assumptions above, you're always welcome to join the efforts with your proposal :)

I'm signing off for today. Enjoy the remaining of your day.

With infinite Drupal love ♥

@hansfn :) I saw now your last two comments #4 and 5 above

Thanks for your recommendation :) As you know I'm signing off for today. I'll reply as soon as I'm free. Bye for now :)

Hi hansfn :)

Anyway, it is important to me that this gets documented in the content guidelines if this is how we should do it.
It might be better to create a new issue for updating the guidelines, but now I have to go too - to my non-Drupal related work.

Thanks for your proposal. Today I created this ticket #2942745. You're welcome to add your proposal to it, about adding this to the guidelines.

As you know this ticket #12474060 is specifically about those pages and their sub-pages below. Not all documentation pages. I propose to keep in mind that each documentation book and its related pages have a unique audience. Which has unique needs. To each their own.

Scope of this ticket #2942745

• Updating Drupal 7
• Updating Drupal 8

My vote goes for keeping optional the clickable anchor icons. Depends on the context. On some pagex it might be needed, on other pages it might not be. Depends on the audience. I noticed that visible clickable anchor icons are more often needed for newcomers. Senior Drupal Devs often don't need such anchors. Any how if they do, and the anchors are not visible, they usually know how to find invisible anchors into the page code.

And when I wrote "immediately", I also ment in these comments. I never expect people to reply immediately on email.

Thanks for clarifying that you did not intended interference. As you know by "interfere" I meant telling others how, or when, or where to contribute. I was also implying not interfering in any type of communications. Including but not limited to Drupal.org comments or direct email. As you know I will not try to interfere with you ♥. I would welcome the same in return.

@Francewhoa :) Note to myself. I'm in progress of restoring this ticket original "Issue summary". I did a typo in my last comment. I added it to the wrong field. Which in turn overwrote my original "Issue summary". D'Oh.

@Francewhoa :) Note to myself. Done I restored my original "Issue summary". Added a "s" to "discussions".

@Francewhoa :) Note to myself. To facilitate communications & clarify scope, I updated both title and summary.

@Francewhoa :) Note to myself. To facilitate cross-ticket communications, added invisible anchors.

Hi drumm :) Thanks for all your Drupal contributions. About your comment #9 above, my reply is in this other ticket at https://www.drupal.org/project/documentation/issues/2943370#comment-1247...
This other ticket #2943370 is about a proposal about adding to this documentation guideline a new section about optional the clickable anchor icons.

This ticket #2942745 is about discussing the newcomers and non-developer audience' needs for clickable anchor icons. Inclusively for some documentation pages and their sub-pages, which are listed under this "Scope" section above. Maybe my previous ticket summary was not clear about the scope.

Hi hansfn :)

If we agree in the other issue about such anchors being optional (and how to insert them), we have nothing more to discuss here - IMHO.

Agreed. With #2942745 we have a clear understanding of the needs of non-developers & newcomers for those pages listed above.

I'm closing this ticket #2942745. In the future, if the contributors reach a general consensus with #2943370, we could re-open this ticket #2942745.

@Francewhoa :) Note to myself. For easier navigation, added invisible anchors to #2942745.
