Curiously, after half a day using the "prompt summary" feature, I am utterly annoyed by it, so I disabled it on my own wikis. I could, however, use a reminder for the Author field, so I added one. > And perhaps a separate option to "require summary" and "require author" in > addition to just being prompted but being allowed to enter blank? I wouldn't want to force it : users will be quickly annoyed, and they will end up adding random characters. Also, not everybody has JavaScript enabled so we can't rely on it for "required" form values. > JS is so much more user-friendly than the other existing solutions... More than one "prompt" or "alert" boxes are not good: a thickbox could be. http://www.useit.com/alertbox/application-design.html The article calls it "lightbox", but it is technically a "thickbox". Unfortunately, a thickbox requires many more lines of code.
