Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Website Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: pr.freebsd.only.2021090501@tigerfoot.com Created attachment 227728 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D227728&action= =3Dedit Component and Version Fields. The PR form includes various fields for describing the bug. This includes t= wo fields, Component and Version, which are yellow boxes and have an asterisk which means required. Depending on the type of bug being reported, these two fields may be pre-filled with one or more possible value (ie for this PR, t= he Component field includes Advocacy, Documentation, Manual Pages, Website and Wiki). When there is only one possible value for either of these fields, that valu= e of course is pre-filled. However, this being an empty yellow box with a red heading, and looks to me, and some, as if it is yet to be filled in, and is expecting some input. For instance, when the PR is about a port, the Component field has in the r= ed heading 'Individual Port(s)' and then a large yellow space underneath. It s= eams quite obvious to me, and some, that this should be the place to enter the n= ame of the port. This is what is intuitive. In fact, the yellow box is redundant and the correct place to enter the nam= e of the port is the beginning of the Summary field. This is counter intuitive. This renders the use of the PR form as confusing. I did work this out after some little time, but some people who are not familiar with the form may be put off and not complete a PR which may have = been useful to the community. I suggest that when there is only one value for either of these fields, that there is no yellow box underneath and there is no asterisk associated with = it.
