"Please refrain from trying to explain to us how bad our tools are". Well, I guess I won't anymore. I just thought that you are a person I can trust some ideas, but you are not. Not a problem at all, please don't make conflicts out of nothing. You see, the idea is the idea, it is not a complaint or something which you could perceive negatively, especially when this is the idea not related to anything like your personal fault. No, I'm not asking you to rethink, I simply won't share with you ideas like this one. And don't worry, I generally feel here quite comfortable and grateful for your obviously useful help, moreover, I would like to ask you for some advice sometimes. So, are we good? — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]] 19:53, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

: No problem. Is '''[[Microtonal instruments]]''' a good starting point now? Admittedly, the source code (it seems that you - like me - don't use the visual editor) looks a bit dense when it comes to lists, especially when they have nested or long items. But from my POV it's now valid wiki syntax. The extensive inline HTML and sometimes overly complicated links date back to the import from wikispaces, a wiki with very different markup. We solve these problems bit by bit when we find the time and energy to do so or when it is urgently needed. Unfortunately I haven't had time to convert [[User:Xenwolf/Regex snippets|my regex snippets]] into a script yet. They solve most of the problems, but not the one with the HTML lists, because they are a number too big for regular expressions. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 20:24, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

: As for the topics (and watchlist which I forgot): on discussion (or talk) pages, there is a ''New topic'' tab between ''Edit'' and ''History''. Using this function makes it much easier to keep track of questions, problems etc. The MediaWiki discussion pages cannot replace an full-fledged forum or the comment function of a real issue tracker. The '''watchlist''' is really a page ([[Special:Watchlist]]) that shows unseen changes in bold. (It ''is'' currently kind of '''broken: a lot of functional code icons''' are not showing up. For example, external link decorations, image description links, collapse-expand indicators in recent changes and watchlist, sort direction indicators in some tables, ... hopefully all this will be fixed next week, [[User:Mike Battaglia]] and [[User:Tyler Henthorn]], the maintainers, are informed) --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 20:24, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
