Summary: Minor improvements of help in toolbar
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: UsabilityInitiative
AssignedTo: tpars...@wikimedia.org

There are some suggestions on de-wikipedia to improve the help in the toolbar:
* Links: Explain the easy thing first, so exchange the two lines explaining
internal links.
* Headings: Newbies shouldn't create 1st level headings, so don't explain them
how to do it.
* References: Explain how to use the normal ref-tag without the name-parameter
first. Perhaps the name-parameter shouldn't be explained at all in this quick
help.
* Discussion: It could be confusing that the signature button inserts --~~~~,
while the help says ~~~~, so it is suggested to include the two dashes in the
help as well. The mediawiki standard doesn't include a link to the user's
discussion page iirc, so the help shouldn't either. Projects where this is
changed can adapt the help locally.
