Reviewing screen

[juan]

There are a few changes I think would help the approvers. I don't know how hard or easy are to do or if other will think they are important enough.

1. Automatic preview of gcd links, as in the editing window.I'm not talking about full preview of the notes, just the gcd links.

2. Display all the credits related fields, specially flags. Right now what we see is the way these fields will be displayed. Some changes are not clear this way. If we see "(credited)" we don't know if the flag is checked or if it is a note, by example.

3. New lines in the display of creators and characters, it's messy right now. In particular a new line after the members of a group end in characters.

4. When approving indicias, the preview is small, it doesn't fill the window, the approver need to click in the picture to see it clearly. This happens in some cases, not all, why?

I don't get what you mean ?

I think this would make the reviewing much more cumbersome, too much
information.

I'll add some form checks so that credited and some variants cannot be
entered anymore.

There is a new line after the members of a (linked) group ? For
non-linked this is not really feasible.

When I put a gcd link (like [gcd_link_issue](2820011)), in a change, there is a preview below the text box that shows the text for that link (in this case something like Batgirl (DC, 2025) #17), if I typed something wrong I can see it there.

In the compare page we don't have this. There is a full preview of the note with formats and everything, behind a link.  

I'm asking if this preview can be automatic, at least the link part.

About the boxes, it doesn't need to be the full boxes, it can be something similar to the credits in the sequences in the issue change page: "SPICLE" where the credits empty are in red. Or a different color in "credited" when it's there because of the box. 

Of course I don't know how easy or hard are these things. If it's not feasible for whatever reason that's okay.

About the characters, I think the sequences I got confused was before the team list filled the line and the new line was not noticeable.

We have the foldout preview link below for that.

Here is a screen shot from a change. You can notice how in the first part is not clear where the X-Men group members end.

But, and I didn't notice this before, in the second part there is a blank line after the group ends, and each member is in a line and aligned inside the group's name. It's perfectly clear there. In fact, if you add the links to the character names in the second part we don't need the first.

Anyway, this works.

We need the first, because that is how it displays.
