Merge request main page: blend subheadings together

Amy Qualls requested to merge aqualls-mr-main-page-repositioning into master

What does this MR do?

In !161247 (merged), I'm trying to achieve good positioning for some new content that doesn't have a good home. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/ lacks a subheading about merging a merge request, but before I stack on new content, I'd like to reclaim some vertical space by combining some existing subheadings that don't provide a lot of value.

This merge request makes two sets of changes to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/:

  • The subheading View merge requests had three tiny child subheadings. (Assigned to you, For a project, For all projects in a group). I've made those tabs.

  • The subheading Assign a user to a merge request had a child subheading Assign multiple users that was virtually a duplicate. We can replace this entire subheading by editing one line:

    Search for the user you want to assign, and select the user. GitLab Free allows one
    assignee per merge request, but GitLab Premium and GitLab Ultimate allow multiple assignees:

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
