[edit] Edit summaries.

Please add that admins should use edit summaries indicating what article is being commented on, to make it easier to find it in the history. Note that there is an option "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" under Preferences | Editing. -- Jeandré, 2006-04-30t21:00z

[edit] Noxious protection

Since I can't be bold about it and fix it I'll ask here: Is it just me or is this header extremely messy and poor looking? 68.39.174.238 04:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reorg

As a user who doesn't do this a lot, the old version of this header was almost impossible to read. Information was spread everywhere and the section called 'how to list' only had a bunch of unexplained templates in a table.

My reorg attempts to do the following:

  • gather general information in the introduction to the page, including references to documentation and what you need to know about page protection
  • how to list section goes through the process with an example
  • large warning boxes set off in a different section to distinguish them from the tutorial

I was tempted to remove the highlighting on the at the TOP as this seems a bit too eyecatching and makes it hard to read the instructions, but that looks like it was added by frustrated admins, and since I am neither I'll leave that for others to decide. -- cmhTC 04:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Nice work, whoever all you are. It always irked me to see such a mess where I couldn't fix it ;D!. Thanx again. 68.39.174.238 19:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
