de:wp convinced you. What would it take to convince you on en:wp? (I'm
asking for a clear objective criterion here. If you can only offer a
subjective one, please explain how de:wp convinced you when en:wp
hasn't.)
Hi David, i am editing on dewp and enwp. I consider myself an experienced
editor, but not an expert. I did not participate voting in dewp, but i like
to try ve from time to time. Beeing a software developper I fully support
eriks arguments before. Imo pragmatic and flexible decisions help such
development a lot, just like Erik explained.
What i would have hoped though is that the wiki syntax gets changed where
it is difficult to implement. And what i would have expected are more ideas
to just edit parts of a page, like e.g. hotcat does it, to avoid such a
mammoth dealing with everything which feels slow then.
To give three examples:
1. why not define a metadata section for every page, where categories, and
access rights are stored? Then these parts already can be split out of the
"page ve".
2. Why not having a read and edit mode? Edit mode just adds "edit" links to
all applicable parts of a page.
3. Why not decide references can only be after paragraphs, and edited via
edit links showing up in Edit mode? so this part can be split out of "page
ve".
