Portal Help

It's high time we create a section for editing portals. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:13, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

  • In fact, I'd also like to write a template with directions that preload every time a portal is edited. However, I'm not sure which MediaWiki page is responsible for providing the text at the top of the editing screen. I'm aware of the editintro variable that can be added the request string of a URL, but I don't know 1) how to get it to preload for pages that already have text, and 2) which MediaWiki page to add logic to so it only preloads on pages with "Portal" in the title. Hmm. Anybody able to help? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:22, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
    • You can edit MediaWiki:Newarticletext and have that do a search if the first word of {{FULLPAGENAMEE}} is "Portal:".--MiamiVolts (talk) 13:52, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
      • No, that only works if the page is a new page with the word "Portal" in the title. I would like to preload text for basic editing, not for creating a new page. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:15, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
