Bug ID: 43312
Summary: Add pointer to TemplateSandbox documentation
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: TemplateSandbox
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: b...@mzmcbride.com
CC: bjor...@wikimedia.org, wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The form that appears below the edit window when editing a template with the
TemplateSandbox extension enabled does not have any pointer to the
TemplateSandbox documentation.
This is problematic as there's no explanation of what the box is, how it works,
etc. It just says:
---
Preview page with this template
Page title: [_________________________] [Show preview]
---
Some kind of "what is this?" feature is needed, at least for now, I think. I
tried to request that the "Preview page with this template" MediaWiki message
be changed to include a "what's this?" link, but the message is not parsed (cf.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_talk:Templatesandbox-editform-legend&oldid=529062236#Add_pointer_to_docs>).
I'm not sure why this is.
The message should either be parsed and/or there should be a pointer to the
TemplateSandbox documentation from the input area below the edit window. The
"Usage" section of the template's documentation is good, it's just impossible
to figure out how to find that page on mediawiki.org
(<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateSandbox>) from the edit
window.
