Template talk:PortalEditHelp
This reads as very confusing to me, but I don't know how to simplify it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:39, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
- It makes sense to me. Maybe if somebody who doesn't edit portals could read it...--Hardvice (talk) 23:39, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
- I rarely (if ever) edit portals. I can check it out later when I'm in front of a computer and see if it makes sense. If not maybe I can offer suggestions or ask questions to help. (Admin 23:57, 28 September 2007 (EDT))
- I'd rather this help was summarized and placed above the edit form, with a link to the full help. It's been confirmed on Bionic Wiki that it is possible to hard-code it there by editing MediaWiki:Common.js, but editing the PHP (EditPage.php) would be a much better approach, imho.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:26, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

Shorter version
Here's a much shorter version:
| Adding to a Character Portal | Adding to a Plot Points Portal |
|---|---|
| When adding to or making a portal depicting individual characters, cast or crew, it is standard to use the PortalCharacter template. | When adding to other portals (ie. for groups and things), it is custom to use the PortalPlotPoints template. |
When adding a new cell to a portal, remember to organize alphabetically and to keep the same number of cells/row (5 for character portals, 4 for plotpoints). For more detailed help with examples, see Help:Editing#Portals.
Please comment asap as I think we should change stop the spamming as quickly as possible. I realize that Help:Editing#Portals still needs to be made...--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:11, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
- Help:Editing is for general editing help. I'd rather see special topics (like templates and portals and theories) get their own page -- in this case, Help:Portals.--Hardvice (talk) 03:46, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
