Improve merge widget text: no permission to merge
-
Current message:
Ready to be merged automatically. Ask someone with write access to this repository to merge this request
-
Proposed replacements:
- Review this thread: &6436 (comment 634418353)
Revise this message to achieve the goals in the Improve MR merge widget UI text epic &6436:
- Consistent message structure.
-
Consistent naming. For example: sometimes we say
merge this request
, other times we saymerge this merge request
, or justmerge this
. -
Consistent pronouns: Sometimes direct the message by using
you
, other times we don't. Note that even whenyou
is used, the user seeing that message may not actually be able to do anything. For example, even if the user can't merge they can sometimes see this message:You can only merge once the items above are resolved.
- Improved humanity. Even when it's time to celebrate, because the MR is ready to be merged, is merging, or has been merged, we display robotic messages. Can we make our humanity shine through a bit?
