My schedule
I probably won't be back until late afternoon, so you're on your own. You have a good idea how I think and feel about things, and/or what the priorities are, now. If there's anything you think I might want to discuss first before you overhaul something, we can discuss it tonight. Have a nice day! --FeralKitty (talk) 12:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Alright. At the present time my main "meta" concern is that users are forced to edit an entire article (including up to 5 platform/type tabs) if they just want to change a specific section of a single game. Solutions would be to remove the __NOEDITSECTION__ altogether, or to include an "edit this tab" button on all tabs. This is problematic without split namespaces and transclusion because the section number that signifies each main =first level tab= is arbitrary. So the options are as follows:
- Leave it as is. Users are forced to edit an entire article to change a single value and may get turned off by the enormous amount of wikicode. They'll also probably change the wrong value for the wrong platform and may mess up the tabs.
- Hard code edit this tab buttons which zero in on the =First level headers=. Problematic because new headers will force us to change the section tab and different articles will have different locations for these tabs. If we go this rouute, it should probably be simplified by an {{editthistab|X}} template:
<div align="right"><big>[http://pinataisland.info/index.php?title={{PAGENAME}}&action=edit§ion={{{1}}} '''edit this tab''']</big></div> - Split articles off into separate namespaces as proposed at User talk:Jimmcq. Each article has an "edit this tab" button. (Preview at User:Xenocidic/Reddhott2) or Mousezilla)
- Re-introduce edit section tabs. Users can edit sections and they're shown as little wikicode as possible if they're just editing a section of pricing, for example. we don't have to split off into different namespaces or worry about editthistab buttons.
- I'll get to work on those tasks you set for me, let me know what you think about this issue at your convenience. –xenocidic (talk) 13:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
