Help:Edit Page Enhancements
From Wikia Help
| This is a new feature on Wikia!

- This extension is enabled by default on Wikia.
We are introducing three new features for the edit page: Help Tips, Link Suggest, and Wide Screen Editing!
Contents |
[edit] Help Tips
Next to the edit box, you'll see a new box that contains help tips on a variety of simple tasks.
The default help tips are primarily focused towards newer editors who may find the links useful as a handy reference. Click on the section headers and you'll reveal a new section of help text (these are called "accordion menus").
Administrators: a few months after the initial roll-out of this feature we will make the help text editable for you. At the start, though, we want to maintain some consistency so we can see how the feature is performing.
[edit] Link Suggest
Within the edit box, we've added a link suggestion feature that will suggest article names based on what you type. When you start typing a "[[" and then some text, we'll suggest some articles that may be what you're looking for. The suggestions are based on existing article names within your wiki. In addition, if you type "[[image: " and then some text, we'll suggest existing image names from your wiki.
See Help:Link Suggest for more info.
[edit] Wide Screen Editing
If you look at the top of the edit box, you'll notice two new links:
- One is to show or hide the Help Tips.
- The other toggles Wide Screen Editing. Let the edit window take over the whole width of the browser window while you're working.
[edit] Preferences
You can turn off Link Suggest and Help Tips in the "editing" tab of your preferences.
