what is the problem: there's no description, and there should be one. But
go figure, maybe it's just me looking for too many explanation.
No, I think it's a valid point!
The answer to this question depends pretty heavily on who you're building
this for. If this feature is intended for the experienced, power
Wikipedian, then any information you give them will simply slow them down
unnecessarily; you just want to give them an empty text box, because
showing them dialogues with text in will just slow them down. If this
feature is for the totally new user, you need a bit more of a walkthrough,
but not too much otherwise people will disengage.
We're going to drill down into our personas for this feature next week.
Thanks,
Dan
