possible images for the intro

"Ministry of Works" says it all! You wonder whether ten words could be six: which four could be removed to make the sign more direct and the font-size bigger?

fix up

Just saw a request at the help desk wondering why no examples of how to link, how to add image or how to make refs etc.... I will try and clean this latter this week.--Moxy (talk) 12:58, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Moxy: I've also been thinking about the possibility of adding in a section bellow each page with an example / exercise for each of these pages, a bit like a very short version of Tony1's exercises. See an example mockup here. The details of how to implement the stylistic recommendations should probably be kept in the (e.g. linking) to avoid repetition.

About state 2 in Nepal bara kalaiya is not included Anilsahil88 (talk) 01:59, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: re this edit, I wonder if there might be a better way to provide links to the FMI pages than just adding them as another sentence? I'm not sure exactly what would be best, though. Thanks for going through all these pages! {{u|Sdkb}} talk 19:49, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You could also introduce each excerpt with a link to the MOS section, like this:
MOS:RECENTLY: Avoid phrases that will go out of date with time (e.g. recently).
I don't know if that's better. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:23, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, hmm, I'll mull on it for a bit. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 23:27, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonesey95: I ended up borrowing from the shortcut box format to create a "further info" box. Required creating a new module, but appears to work. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:34, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
