: Regarding an editor toolbar, a few years back on Wikipedia (in essence when Wikipedia used about the same version of MediaWiki as this wiki), there was a bar between the text editing box and the edit summary box with some useful stuff, like the <code><nowiki><reference /></nowiki></code> tag, commonly used characters (I particularly miss a quick forward arrow, <code><nowiki>→</nowiki></code>) and some often used templates. I have not taken myself to look into that though. | |||
: Regarding hooks and bots to catch links, even such a seemingly simple thing as manually trying to catch only most forum links was a bit of a headache (see in particular [[FlightGear wiki:Village pump/Archive 2019#Conversion of direct forum links and URLs to templates]]). Catching them and recommending a template ''might'' work, but trying to automatically convert links to templates might be trickier (and in addition would need administrators to maintain such bots for conversion if the templates are edited). | |||
: Unfortunately, my experience is that most people do not like reading documentation, but if they did, a very brief summary of which templates to use ''for the very most common cases'' could be useful. I struggle a bit with the current documentation as I do not use those templates all that often and have sometimes found myself spending several minutes trying to figure out which use case and what parameter names I should use. Which probably speaks for a tool bar or automation, or just more specific templates (in essence templates for only a few use cases). | |||
