User blog:Gamedezyner/New Page Editor - Default Layouts

It's been over a week since I released something code related for the wiki, so I figured I'd do something else.

When someone goes to create a new article, they are presented with a popup like this:



As we all know, "Standard Layout" sucks, and "Blank Page" is completely blank. Now many people copy and paste a template like Character_Page_Template_~Smash%27s_Version onto their new page to give it a basic structure to work with. Although this works, it's a bit of a pain, and that template is often then left with a ton of empty headings that clutter up the article.

Enter new method: This input box redirects to an editor with pre-defined content specifically designed for a character article. It is fully editable and can be completely removed. It comes with the new infobox I created, along with four basic headers I threw together to show the functionality. None of the content in it is final yet. The best part about this is at the top. An instruction document. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it allows us to list the basic requirements and standards for the type of article being created, and that will cut down on the number of substandard articles created out of ignorance.

I plan on setting something up for each type of page listed in the standards, but I want to see what the community thinks of this before I go any further. Please leave some comments below!
