Hmm, so I'm confused. We have help on wiki editing on Help:Contents... and Help:Editing links to Wikipedia's editing help. Duurrr, whuh? --Iritscen 22:37, 11 October 2008 (CEST)
- History is your friend, my friend. :Editing was one of the first pages on the wiki. I'm not sure why it's named the way it's named, but it could be because at that time it seemed like the main help page could be more general. That was before we started to document Troubleshooting and such elsewhere. In the present state of things, of course, it is redundant, and I realized this myself shortly after posting the note about good taste. However, if we delete Help:Editing altogether, there's a fair chance it'll come up as a redlink on your side of the planet (I'm not so sure I made up the Help:Editing name myself), at which point you'll have to fill it in with some tasteful crap. Maybe the wisest thing to do at this point in time is to remove the link from :Contents to :Editing and replace the meta-link on :Editing with a picture of a woolly mammoth. If we are certain that :Editing is not a Mediawiki standard page and/or if you vow not to be a dick about redlinks, then we can go ahead and delete :Editing completely. --geyser 23:38, 11 October 2008 (CEST)
