Futher development

I'm thinking about moving this page to Meta, which seems like a better place. Any thoughts? Also, dividing the content into some subpages seems like a good idea at the moment, this should allow adding more information on some specific issues. —AlexSm 18:34, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You mean as a "Help:" page? Yeah, that might be an idea. Although that is somewhat messy since then you have to separate out all the (English) Wikipedia specific things and keep the text site-neutral. Which makes the text harder to use for Wikipedia editors. If you do the move then first check that they don't already have a similar page on Meta. Remember to add the proper templates at the top and bottom so we can import it back as a "Help:" page here at Wikipedia with a "Wikipedia specific" section.
I suggest you keep this page here while you build the other page at Meta and let the Meta page mature a little before you perhaps make this page into a (soft) redirect to the local copy of the Meta page. (So we see the "Wikipedia specific" section.)
What things are you thinking of splitting out to separate subpages? I see it covers some different subjects. I would like to change the order of the sections, for instance move the "Editing and loading the user script" and "CSS files" sections above the "DHTML methods".
