Bug #: 28684
Summary: request regarding rendering of Infobox_templates
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Templates
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Presently most of wikis are using info box templates
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Infobox_templates) as an important
tool. These templates are having two inadequacies for novice and non technical
editors.
1)First is these templates usually occur at the top of edit page and a novice
user gets confused with all wiki markup in those templates so please do enhance
it with either wikimark up or template itself will not show up when page is
opened for editing unless clicked as show.
2i)The second request is for a novice wiki user a template concept itself is
new in that presently novice user has no way to understand that these info
boxes are template pages and there are intricate templates within templates and
there is no way for new user to understand that these templates are being
reflected from some third page. The enhancement request is to give automed
feature in tools which a new user can use to build a new info-box template
the way in vector skin new usability intiative we have given feature for
creating tables in the same manner.
2ii) Some easy way for new user to understand and reach easily to hidden
template that lists the left side list in info-box template.
