:: Looking at the mediawiki docs, a client/browser-side extension would be fairly easy to implement, i.e. to extending the editor to add a button for some of the more common/useful project-specific templates, and showing a corresponding "template configurator", e.g. the repo link stuff would show a checkbox/dropdown menu to select different options and then configure the template, analogous to how tables can be created using a really simple wizard. I think you've got a point, I also tend to be unaware of existing templates for specific purposes, so running some heuristics (e.g. check for forum link, mailing list link or git link) and then suggest a template configurator/wizard, while showing a suggestion that can be approved/customized would probably suffice. I am not sure if there are existing solutions/plugins for this specific purpose, but it would be fairly easy to implement and maintain by wiki admins, even client-side (i.e. using JavaScript). I just think we need to get Gijs involved, because most of the other admins won't have sufficient privileges to extend the editor (?)-[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 12:23, 25 April 2020 (EDT) | |||
