Automatic [edit] boxes

[imnotpc]

I'll start out by saying that I'm not a wiki guy and my first attempt at a major page revision didn't turn out as I hoped. If you look on the bottom of the instructions page you can see the table I made. I got the layout pretty much the way I want it, and I think it will look better once there is more content, but the [edit] boxes for each section are a bit much.

I can probably fix this by using html, but I'm not sure if that's the right way. Is there a wiki method to selectively hide those edit boxes or am I better off just coding it in html?

HTML won't work I guess, because wiki pages can be formated with wiki syntax only, I think. But I do agree those edit boxes are way to many, we need to fix that. I think we need a syntax guide for MediaWiki. 8)

Anyway, good job there! I'll search for a syntax guide and post it here for everyone to check out.

Yes, I agree... Wikicode was invented by the Devil himself :twisted:

I fixed it using html and bypassing the wiki format. The page accepted it and seems ok. It's going to have to be in black text unless someone can hack the css file and get me the color string the wiki uses... I used to have a color picker plugin for firefox but I don't know what happened to it after I upgraded to 2.0....
