Bad title

Need to make the title more clear if you want more then 10 hits a day. (VE) means noting to new editors ...plus does not show up in a search should be called Help:Introduction to VisualEditor. -- Moxy (talk) 17:20, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point that the title isn't going to match people's searches. I suspect that most people come to the initial tutorial-type pages via links from other pages rather than e.g. searching "getting started" or "plain and simple". Consequently the linking work you've done around the help pages has been great! Having said that, there's no harm in having a clearer name. My suggestion would be "Help:Introduction to editing with VisualEditor", and standardising the others to fit:
  • Help:introduction_to_*_(VE) → Help:introduction_to_*_with_VisualEditor
  • Help:introduction_to_*_(WM) → Help:introduction_to_*_with_WikiMarkup
Keeping the naming consistent like that should help people move back and forth between them more logically. What do you think? T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 11:51, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

""I think that would be great-- Moxy (talk) 16:56, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done (for this page at least). Will try to update the other pages to the same name format over the next few days. If you could help out with fixing any double-redirects, that'd be really helpful! T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 10:55, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Created new page/draft and can't get back in to edit it?

I would like to edit a section of a page / draft I created the other day. I can pull up the edits I'd made on the page I created but see no place to edit any of it? I can't find the page. Also, since it's my first one...how long will it take to appear on wikipedia? Thanks! Cavenezia (talk) 04:17, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Cavenezia: I believe you're talking about this page: Draft:S.K._Bain,_Investigative_Researcher_and_Author. I've added a button to the top that will allow you to submit it for review. The process can take anywhere from 1-60 days depending on the backlog of other submitted drafts, so I'm afaid you may have to be patient. My advice is to get it to as high a standard as possible before submission. In particulr, it's important to have numerous independent 'third party' supporting references. Good luck.

The instructions to use the Visual Editor are the same as the instructions to use the old editor

The visual editor came up when I first went to visit a page, but I can't get it back. I used to program (what we called it then) in high school, and have only recently done a little auto it. I am a physician. I heard on the radio that some people in Wikipedia did not want the Visual Editor to become popular, in spite of decreasing contributor numbers. Well, I can see where I'm not wanted. No more edits, no more contributions from me. I will continue enjoy consuming the work of others though... Have a nice life all of you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Nielsen (talk • contribs) 06:59, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
