:: Totally agree. That's why I want eventually wikify "Instruments". This page is very important for me and for many, but messed up HTML formatting, which renders fixing separate points a waste of time. Agree? This is not a big work, I can do it but later. The only small thing I'm worry about is the possibility of some clash, if you rename something while I'm working at a page. In worst case, it won't be too bad, because I'll have a local copy and save all steps in a separate revision control, but small bit of information could be lost. I wouldn't worry if not noticed some related problem. Let's say, I'm adding a post to some "Talk" page, and someone does the same on the same page, and I get a notification. Several times, I lost my edit. (Any advice, anyway?) — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]] | :: Totally agree. That's why I want eventually wikify "Instruments".

::: The page [[Microtonal instruments]] '''''is''''' <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Microtonal_instruments&type=revision&diff=53549&oldid=53523 already wikified]</span>, so what are you talking about? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 20:50, 27 November 2020 (UTC) | |||
:: I just looked at your Regex snippets. They look very useful, and thank you for another idea! Indeed, as my idea of having some additional plugin in Mediawiki rendering is not so feasible right now, it could be a useful and realistic workaround. I do have comprehensive Regex tooling, only the Regex language is notoriously hard to read (easier to right), I have to try it out. I will! — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]] 20:42, 27 November 2020 (UTC) | :: I just looked at your Regex snippets. They look very useful, and thank you for another idea!

:: Let me ask you about one more thing. How important is filling in Summary before each post into a page, what do you think? There is no a mechanism to enforce or remind it, so I keep forgetting this field most of the time... — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]] 20:46, 27 November 2020 (UTC) | :: Let me ask you about one more thing.

: 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) | : As for the topics (and watchlist which I forgot): on discussion (or talk) pages, there is a ''New topic'' tab between ''Edit'' and ''History''.
