Requested feature overview description.
A Help page for Bulk Update Request (BUR). Some of the things It could entail are:
- 1) All the available operations and a explanation of each one;
- 2) Some examples of neat things you can do with BURs like:
- a) Renaming a tag/ Fixing typos;
- b) The ability to edit and reject your own BUR.
- 3) A list with common errors like transitives or ""missing #" and explaining what they mean.
Why would it be useful?
It would help new and inexperienced users to deal with BURs and encourage them, as it's really intimidating to make one right now, because of the lack of a real tutorial/documentation/help page. I for one have no idea what the update operation does, I had no idea how to make a BUR to rename a tag, until I tried one, some days ago. At first everything was flipped and a "missing #" error appeared on my BUR, I flipped everything and thank god it worked! Now I understand that to remove an alias, the correct order is tag_that_got_aliased -> tag_that_it_was_aliased_into. At least I knew how to edit a BUR beforehand. (ノ`Д´)ノ彡┻━┻
What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
- The list of Help Pages will show a help page for Bulk Update Request.
- The page to make a BUR would have a help link at the top besides "Listing" and "New".
- The Bulk Update Request Help little thingie, pop-up? Below the script field should be renamed to operations instead. I think it's worth to maintain as a quick cheatsheet. But not as "help", because now... NOW! We'll have (hopefully) technology, a dedicated and better documented help page.
