When you submit a node form after being directed to it from the "Group create content selector" block, you loose you navigation in terms of the page you are coming from.
For example, let's say you are on a group's wiki tab. You then want to create a wiki, so you click the "Create button" in the "Group create content selector" block which already has "Wiki page" selected since you are on that tab. After creating the wiki, you are thrown to the node's view page without any simple way to get back to the wiki tab.
This is a UX issue because people new to Commons will have no idea how to get back to the page they were just viewing. In addition, experienced Commons users need to click on at least two links to get back to where they were.

cpliakas commentedThe attached patch does an automatic redirect after submitting the node form back to the page you were viewing if you visited the form from the "Group create content selector" block.

batsonjayI disagree with this patch. If a user is on page A, creates page B, after editing why should they NOT end up on page B? I want to confirm that what I created is what I wanted. I can always go back to other pages in the group through the breadcrumb.
Not "Needs review", but needs UX work discussion.

cpliakas commented@batsonjay, thanks for reviewing and providing feedback.
This is actually more difficult than it seems. If you are on the "Wikis" tab and create a wiki, the form redirects you to the newly created node. At this point there is no breadcrumb to get back to the Wikis tab. This is very frustrating for people new to Commons, because it isn't apparent how you get back.
Maybe the issue here is to append the "wikis" page (or appropriate tab) to the end of he breadcrumb that is displayed on the node view page?
Thanks,
Chris
