Research direction

Start with the linked “Using Mercurial Queues” page and locate the section describing mq and its links. Make bookmarks the first link and add a banner recommending bookmarks; the documentation is done when both recommendations appear clearly on the mq page.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

https://developer.thunderbird.net/contributing/fixing-a-bug/using-mercurial-queues describes using mq. For various reasons the current recommendation is to use bookmarks, so for people who don't know either I think we should be recommending bookmarks. I think we should:

  • Make bookmarks the first link in that section
  • Put a banner on the mq page saying that developers should prefer bookmarks.
