Okay, so I added "buttons" for characters, locations, places, things, actors, and crew members. I also added simple instructions when you click on one of those buttons (try it and see). Can anybody think of anything else that might need to be added--more buttons, different instructions, rewording, etc.? Any other changes anybody would make? Is this worth keeping or is it too distracting? Any other concerns? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:43, 22 April 2007 (EDT)

Welcome new user

Well done on the "welcome user" button--brilliant! I was going to add a button for that, but I didn't want it on every page so I opted against it. I didn't think of the #ifeq function. Nicely done. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:03, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

  • I wanted to make the summary say "Welcome!", but I'm clueless. Is it possible to have an auto summary? (Yes, I know, it's icing, but I'm trying to exercise my MediaWiki muscles, and it is a minor inconvenience to type in the same edit summary, especially if it can be autofilled for you.) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 09:02, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
  • I looked, but I couldn't find any documented way to prefill the summary field from the URL.--Hardvice (talk) 13:13, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
    • Yeah, I had a feeling. Oh well. I was hoping there was something akin to the summary autofill when creating a redirect, or blanking a page, or even when you hit "undo". Shucks. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:40, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
  • Hey, where'd that button go? --Hero!(talk)(contribs) 14:33, 11 July 2007 (EDT)

Redirect and disambig

Redirect and disambig templates would be usefull, would it be worth it to add them or would they encouraging to many useless pages? -Lөvөl 13:23, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

  • I wouldn't mind having them, but because the "templates" are so short I wonder if they would be better off in the editing tools box? Right now we don't have anything there (it's a box that would show up underneath any editing screen), but I can think of some other good things that wouldn't hurt.

Fan creations

Could someone please add Template:Newpage fan creation to this? --Hero!(talk)(contribs) 14:13, 11 July 2007 (EDT)
