Thread:Talk:New Page Patrol Zoom Interface/Tooltips/reply (2)

Ironholds' suggestion is important. Patrollers encounter a large number of new pages with poorly  spellt, mis-punctuated, or inappropriate page titles. Most new page creators are unaware of the 'move' feature, and their common  errorr is to simply  create another new page with  the correct  title.

On en.Wiki there is currently  no  explanation readily  available to  new users for moving  pages, and the term 'move' is itself confusing. As a very new user, I   could neither understand nor  figure out  whay it  is impossible to  reedit a pagename, and I made copypaste 'moves' because I  did not  know any  better, and would not  have known how or where to  look for the  instructions.

Although perhaps slightly off-topic in this thread, maybe it could be considered to  software-force non  autoconfirmed users to  use the preview button before they  can use the save button. This would also address the very common  error of creating  the grey boxes that  are caused by  paragraph  indentations. it's actually quite amazing  that  so  many  new editors do  not  review their created pages immediately and make the obvious corrections (actually, paragraph  indents  are not  such  an  obvious cause). My own  opinion  is that  many  of these errors are made by  SPA, CIO,  and SEO  agents in  their haste to  get  their new page online and indexed by  Google. More often than not, such pages are anyway  destined to  be deleted by  one process or another.

More instructions of this kind are needed on the edit window page, but  will probably  adequately  addressed in  the proposed new Article Creation  Flow interface.
