Hi,
I think that summarises it well but just for clarity when I say end user I am referring to admin users rather than members of the general public; we don’t advertise the GeoServer administration pages for our deployment. I’m primarily suggesting that even some admin users would not necessarily understand the nuances of the different previews if it was not explained to them. That said, GeoServer is an international project so I probably wouldn’t expect them to.
Hum… I see. I would not mind much renaming “tiled layers” into “tiled preview” but there are thing in that page like disk quota, seeding and clean links that are not previews.
However you have a point, I seldomly use that page myself, keep on forgetting that is there, mostly because if I want to configure tile caching I go to the layer and then switch to the tile caching tab… so yeah, that page is indeed problematic from that point of view.
Maybe it’s also the location of the page in the menu, one edits layers/styles first, and the “tile layers” link is a few sections down. Wondering if moving “tile caching” up, right below “Data” in the menu,
may help some with that.
And maybe also splitting the tile preview, which would be visible to all, and have a tile layers page that has the remaining things (disk quota, seed, clear), which is visible only to admins.
I note your point regarding the Wicket learning curve; how long can a ticket remain open?
Given the recent discussion, a improvement/new feature ticket will stay open one year before being closed. A bug report one does not get closed instead.
(the cleanup of old feature requests is yet to be done, mind)
If we change the scope of this ticket to be adding the base map to the style editor and assign it to me (if that is what you do with tickets) then I’m happy to look at it but as you say it might be a while. If that is problematic then we could simply close the ticket and open a new one when I’m ready to actually make the specific pull request for the change.
No problems. Assigning tickets is something we do when someone starts working on them, otherwise users can get the false impression that the ticket is being
taken care of, while it is not (sometimes people assign the ticket and then stop working and forget to un-assign, but you should see that most of the tickets
are in unassigned state)
Final point noted, I will reply there.
Thank you! 
Cheers
Andrea
