Template:Edit now
Handy editing workaround-shortcut eliminating need to scroll down to edit-box on long pages.
- NOT version-specific ...so far (4 wiki concept-tested)
- Each instance creates work-section sec for use with {{view now}}
- Default color is hard to miss if left in page by accident.
- Color can be adjusted for page-color conflicts, or collaborations: col=color (per HTML)
Usage: {{edit now|*sec=name|*col=num}} (*optional)
- Insert in section(s) being edited, as convenient
- Edit as normal
- PREVIEW changes. (Does not work while SAVEd)
- Click when ready to continue editing
- Remove before (final-commit) page-save
Note: The name "EDIT NOW" describes the function offered to the editor. The resulting link-text does nothing on a saved page, but does not auto-hide either, to encourage prompt cleanup. However, it should not confuse new users if left by mistake -- but can be changed as consensus dictates.
Examples: (only work in edit mode)
* CONSTRUCTION ZONE A1 *
{{ edit now | col=orange | sec=A1 }}
* CONSTRUCTION ZONE John Q *
{{ edit now | col=blue | sec=John Q }}
* CONSTRUCTION ZONE * {{ edit now }}
