Help talk:Editing pages

Propose move to Help: Editing
On Help talk:Editing I was giving some reasons (technical reasons really) why this page should be moved to "Help:Editing" (currently a redirect here) Add your comments over there. -- Harry Wood 09:52, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree reverting redirect to "Help:Editing" as one from "hardcode names". --Kaganer 12:34, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think moving 10 or so translated pages is so hard. Since the purpose of this is to fill in the help on other sites, we should have content in the right places.  If the default installation calls it help:editing, then so should we. -Steve Sanbeg 21:07, 13 December 2007 (UTC)..

"How to edit a page" Information
In my opinion something goes completely wrong here. Each installed Wiki have a button in the lower right corner which opens the main page http://www.mediawiki.org. Now I see "How to edit a page", fine this seems the right place for "How to insert an image?", "How to make a two row table entry?", "How to remove the table of contents from a page?", "How to...", but oooohhhhh I see some rules, conventions or whatever. Sorry, no, I guess most of the users come to this page to find some infos "How to edit?" and not "What should I do." --Lastwebpage 17:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You're obviously looking for the information we have at Help:Formatting. It's true that page has the most important quick reference material the people will go looking for. It is fairly prominently linked from this page. Maybe that section is a bit to wordy at the moment, certainly for some use cases, but I wanted to put forward some very general advice such as the "be bold" philosophy here. -- Harry Wood 17:48, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
