There's various levels here, all of which need to be removed: * What doesn't fit on a single-page printed cheat sheet isn't basic. * What doesn't fit in a pop-up box on a single screen isn't basic. * What doesn't fit in a line under the edit box isn't basic. * Wikitext isn't basic unless you assume HTML, which you can't. Wikitext is however powerful, and there are 160,000 editors in any given month on en:wp who cope with it. But that's a drop in the ocean. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
