I was trying to edit the Issues section of the naming-principles page:
<http://microformats.org/wiki/naming-principles#Issues>
First I clicked what I thought was the appropriate [edit] link, where
I was told I needed to login. After logging in, I was offered a link
back to the Main Page. This is issue #1: I should be offered a link
back to the edit I was about to make.
So I used my back button to flip through my history to where I was
and then reload the page with my shiny new logged-in cookie, only to
discover I'd clicked the wrong [edit] link. I've done this before
because some wikis put the link before the section and others put it
after the section, so I went back and clicked the adjacent link. It
turns out there is no link to edit the section. The edit page is here:
<http://microformats.org/wiki?title=naming-
principles&action=edit§ion=15>
The links on the article end at number 14 and don't quite line up to
the nearby content. This is issue #2: there should be an edit link
for every section, near the section.
These are both relatively simple to work around, but I wonder if
we're maybe losing valuable input in the wiki due to such minor
difficulties.
Peace,
Scott
