Forum:Editing interface

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Editing interface

I've noticed that quite a number of wikis use this new editing interface. Thought I'd bring it up here so we can discuss the pros and cons of it, and decide whether we want to switch to this new interface, or stick with the current one. I'll let this run for a week: this will close on 23 July 2011 @ 2:44 AM. Sunderland06 (talk) 01:46, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

1. I reckon this format will be a lot easier to use for people not familiar to editing. I particularly like the preview function, because instead of having a new page load up, a preview will load in a pop-up which reduces waiting time substantially. Sunderland06 (talk) 01:46, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

• The one probelm I have with the new editing interface is the lack of a follow button. I guess it is something I could live without. Also the off center text box bothers me a bit. Again just an aesthetic thing I could easily get over.--Rhonda 20:56, July 16, 2011

Other thoughts

That new interface looks good, I'd have no problems if we switched to that, but am also happy with the interface we currently use. In all, I'd have to say have no preference either way, and as the more seasoned Wiki editors, I'll be happy for you guys to decide what direction to go in :) KinaseD 17:49, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

That is a fine statement but IF you HAD to choose one which would it be?--Rhonda 21:00, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
