Good work, Prateek. Just some quick comments:
- *Facilitating input.* For adding categories it may be useful to
provide more support than asking to write each category in a textarea line.
Although the control can be presented as a text area, it would be helpful
that it behaves like the recipient list of many
apps<http://i.imgur.com/6agolDj.jpg>(where items are auto-completed
and visually added as items and not just
text).
- *Reducing complexity.* The UI shows all sections at the same level of
prominence. If some parts are less likely to be modified (or you can
provide good default values) you can make those more compact. Some examples
(you need to evaluate the right prominence level according to the
real/expected use):
- If it is uncommon to provide the tutorial info, that part of the
form can be replaced by a "Add tutorial" link that reveals the form part
once it is clicked.
- Fields asking for user input can be presented in a more compact way
while they are not being edited, becoming expanded once the user
is editing
them.
- *Clarity.* For some fields the placeholder is "WikiText". Although
that clarifies that you can use rich formatted text, it provides no
information on the purpose of the field. If it is a description it should
indicate that it is a description, and it may additionally inform that
wikitext is allowed.
Hope this helps

Hey,
I've recently been working on the Campaigns edit page with Yuvi. Its
currently a textarea where you have to enter JSON to edit the event's
attributes. We tried to convert it into a form (of sorts) to get the
same data. I first made a wireframe -
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Wm-campaigns-edit.png - and then
applied the Agora style to it -
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Wm-campaigns-edit-agora.png. I
wasn't able to spend as much time with Agora and thus most margins and
sizes might be off, but it gives an idea.
Ideas and feedback are welcome -
