Hi,
Thanks for the detailed answer.
I have put some feedback on [1]. Unfortunately, on the sandbox page [2] the wizard did not
work. I think, it might already provide some functionalities that I was suggesting. Could
anyone point me to some page where it is working properly on Firefox 3.6.8 Windows 7? Then
I can try it out and give more feedback.
Keep up your good work.
Benedikt

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Experience Team - Insert Template
Correct. The features mentioned in this thread are rather complex, so
we're starting by first hiding the template code into Template Capsules.
The idea behind Template Capsules is to hide the template code for the
benefit of the novice editor. These capsules may then be expanded to
reveal the wikitext for the template. Mock-ups can be viewed here [1].
You may also visit Sandox [2] to view a prototype of the feature.
We included an early version of Template Capsules as part of the last
Usability Study [3] to test the basic concept of hiding/expanding the
template code. We're incorporating the feedback we got from this study
into the development of this feature.
Once we get hiding/collapsing working, we'll start looking at other
feature to make template editing easier.
Please let us know what you think of what we have so far -- we've been
using the following talk page for feedback: [4].

Hello,
is my question maybe not well placed in here? I thought it to be rather too technical
oriented for MediaWiki-l.
Please, give me a hint... :-)
As far as I know, the usability team is hoping to do something like
this at some point in the indefinite future, but since it would be
complicated, they're working on easier things first. I can't say for
sure, though.
