[wmf.18] Help panel cannot be disabled for Suggested edits task
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

  1. A user with enabled Help panel edits an article - the Help panel is present with the option (the link) "Disable the help panel"
  2. A user clicks on the link and unchecks the box for Enable the editor help panel in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing. Saves the change.
  3. The Help panel is still present on Suggested edits articles. The Help panel won't be present on articles (and other namespaces) when editing

Event Timeline

With T284088: Merge preference "Enable the editor help panel" with "Display the newcomer homepage" together, the help panel is shown whenever the user is doing a newcomer task (regardless of the preference). Perhaps the "Disable the help panel" link should be hidden if the user doesn't have it enabled in the first place?

+1 Let's remove that link on the help panel when it is shown in "guidance mode" on Suggested edits tasks.
