== Thanks for disambiguation! == Hi [[User:Canele]]! Thanks so much for filling in the disambiguation category! I can't believe no one had bothered to do that yet. <br>According to [[Template:Disambiguation]], the category is supposed to be called "Disambiguation pages", so I renamed the category, I hope that's okay with you. I also noticed that pages such as [[Nice Guidelines]] were using the following language to mark a disambiguation page: <br><nowiki>{{Disambiguation}} __DISAMBIG__</nowiki> <br>I don't know exactly why it was done that way, but I'm guessing that is the way people have been doing it. Does this look right to you? <br>Thanks for all your help! <br>[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 21:55, 10 April 2019 (EDT) :That all looks good to me [[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]]--thanks! I have no idea why that's the right code but it seems to work! My only suggestion might be that I favor putting templates (which are mostly instructions for editors) at the bottom of the page rather than the top, so that readers have less to read through to get to the info they want; since we editors are so fewer in number than readers, instructions for us seem like they should take a backseat to ease for readers. <br>Relatedly. I saw the updates to your user page--wowza that only 11 editors are active. I suppose I knew that looking at recent changes but gosh. Well hopefully getting the tutorial to be really good will make it easier for others to participate? I find the forums daunting but I know there's a ton of knowledge over there both in threads and in the brains of people who participate. Would be so great to make it easier for them to bring that over and make the collective knowledge organized and easily searchable here... [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 00:49, 11 April 2019 (EDT) ::I agree 110% on making it easier for people to learn. There has been discussion on the Slack group about how to recruit new editors, but I think the bigger problem is how to retain editors who have created an account but gotten confused or scared away by incoherent documentation. I hope the new tutorial is a step in the right direction. I tried to fit all the requested essential info into the smallest space possible, while marking non-essential information as an ‘Advanced Topic’. ::That’s a good point about the placement of template tags. I’ll start a discussion on the MEpedia:Disambiguation talk page to see if people can agree on top or bottom of page. (I don’t have any strong opinions myself.) ::Thanks again! ::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 11:42, 11 April 2019 (EDT) :::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]], "editor retention" is music to my ears! Do you know anything about editing templates? I don't yet but could look into it--it'd be terrific to update the welcome message. [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 23:43, 11 April 2019 (EDT) ::::If you’re talking about the “New User Message” that’s posted to user’s Talk pages, that has already been updated to correct the formatting. See Template:Welcome. We are just waiting for an admin to “flip the switch” so that the new Template:Welcome goes live. I’ll see if an admin can flip that switch tomorrow. ::::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 00:30, 12 April 2019 (EDT) :::::Oh great! I was thinking of suggesting it be trimmed as well, although maybe additionally so after the tutorial etc. is totally settled. But, why not now if there's someone available to update, we can do it again later. I'll post a preliminary idea to that discussion page.
