Hi all, Dottydotdot here. It would be very useful for me when writing articles if at the bottom of the edit page, where the templates are that you can click on to insert, there was a list of infoboxes-not neccesarily the countries, because I can guess them, but others that otherwise I have to go searching for. I'm pretty sure these can only be updated by an admin.
Thoughts? Possible?
Cheers!
Possible, yes. But there are a huge number of infoboxes to choose from - not just when it comes to countries.
Most are based on category names so you'll get better at guessing them.
Brian.

Yea. We currently have 203 in [[Category:Country infoboxes]] alone ( http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:Country_infoboxes ). So unless someone thinks of some cool javascript, I don't think we can put them (easily) into the edit window.
If you're looking for any infobox, just check http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:Infoboxes

I could imagine this could be handled through some interactive js magic.
I personally just go to the search bar and start typing in template:<blah> and see what suggestions come.
