time after the beggining of Wikipedian life.
I think a system like used in Commons too, but now about editing Wikipedia.
Could be used for IPs and accounts with less than 100 editions, for
example,
and concealable, of course.
A system whick teach to newbies about the syntax ( that's the most
complicated thin to teach newbies: [[ ]], {{ }} and of course,
<Ref>{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher=
|accessdate= }}</ref>)
It has to be discussed. It would be a important system, essential nowadays.

There are a lot of tools available to make the life of a Wiki editor
simple. The problem is that by the time you come into them, you have
already learned how to do things, where to find templates. I think we
need to develop a kind of wizard similar to the one used in Commons.
For example something like:
*What is the article about? with specific instructions for some of the
commonest categories (biographies, films, geographic places
*Write the text
*Wikify it
*Add references. Is it a book? A website? The templates are
straightforward to fill but difficult to find
*Preview and proofread
*Save it
