On priv page, link back to admin page

Title:
On priv page, link back to admin page

Area:
admin area, privs

Summary:
Add a link from the priv page to the main admin area.

Description:
On http://www.dreamwidth.org/admin/priv/ (Privilege management page) there is no link back to http://www.dreamwidth.org/admin/ (Main admin tools page). This would be very useful, particularly as the priv page is not in site scheme and doesn't have any other link back to the main Dreamwidth site.

Makes sense, but perhaps this should be done with integrating the site-scheme into more pages?

[cesy]

Yes, that would work, too.

[zarhooie]

Honestly, the only people who actually *need* to see that page are the ones who need to use it, and they all should know where it is already.

[cesy]

Yes, but having to hit the back button instead of a link is still annoying.

[zarhooie]

It's annoying but I don't think a link is necessarily a good idea..

[cesy]

Why not? If you've gone to the priv page and changed a priv, it's likely that you want to do something else afterwards, so being able to get back to a site-schemed page easily is helpful. I don't understand the downside.

I think we should just site scheme the page, honestly.

Would that help this issue? There's no 'admin' link on the site scheme pages.

Site scheme would be convenient in other ways, though. Especially if i access the page from direct URL and then want to do something else.

[cesy]

I think both would be good, probably as separate bugs, since the link is a two-line fix and site-scheming is a bigger job. As you say, sometimes you want to go back to admin and sometimes you want to go somewhere else.

[yvi]

Yeah, neither do I. It doesn't bother me at all, though, but it it's kind of a two-line patch. If it helps a few people, why not?

[I don't use the back button, at the moment, I delete the 'priv' part from the URL, which is also not the best, of course. link would be nice)

Agreed with trying to make it usable before perfect.
