Bug ID: 73679
Summary: Flow: Preview message looks like an error and has
question mark cursor
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: design
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Flow

Screenshot of preview warning
The preview indication triggered after pressing "Preview" in the reply editor
looks like a warning or error. And the warning doesn't look like other
MediaWiki warnings (class=errorbox). It also doens't look like what a warning
would look like within the UI style that Flow itself uses. It's implemented as
a lost paragraph with a custom text color.
It also has a custom cursor style (see screenshot) which is in my opinion
confusing. The 'help' cursor is generally used for when hovering or clicking
there will reveal additional information (e.g. definition, explanatory tooltip,
or guidance popup). But in this case it probably was meant to communicate this
is "helpful" text, but the text itself should make that clear. A regular text
(default) or pointer cursor is probably better fitted.
