Yeah, I thought that might do it. Nice job!--Hardvice (talk) 17:52, 28 September 2007 (EDT)

  • Feel free to tweak to your liking. I'm asthetically challenged. :) I'm all about functionality. (Admin 17:52, 28 September 2007 (EDT))
  • Ok, now I generalized it so that we can just create templates beginning with a namespace label like "EpisodeEditHelp" and "Graphic_NovelEditHelp" and it will automatically add a section in the edit tools and include them when someone edits an article in those namespaces. (Admin 18:12, 28 September 2007 (EDT))
    • Sweet. This is a really impressive change.--Hardvice (talk) 20:09, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
      • Beautiful. I think it's really important to add one for portals, but Portal is not a namespace yet. Admin, do you have plans to add it as a namespace, or shall I just use the pagenamenopseudo template? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:56, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
        • I wasn't planning to make it a separate namespace. Probably just best if you extend Edittools so that handles portals for now. (Admin 21:03, 28 September 2007 (EDT))
    • One neat thing is that it works for any page in the namespace, including new ones. So we can potentially make any of the templates give instructions for adding, say, a new episode page or a new GN page, and have the template display different information for editing an existing page versus adding a new page using {{#ifexist:}}.--Hardvice (talk) 21:22, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
  • Nothing profound to say (as usual), I just want to geek out about how cool this page is. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:42, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
  • ...and it wasn't even difficult to create! :) MediaWiki always continues to impress me with it's power and flexibility. (Admin 21:45, 28 September 2007 (EDT))
    • The template should be matching "Portal:" instead of "Portal", as it is catching edits on any article with the text "portal" in its name. Also, please see my comments [[1]].--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:25, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
