Talk:Editing Wikitext

Double
Can I ask -- in what way is this book intended to be different from the Editing Help page? - Lynx7725 6 July 2005 11:15 (UTC)
 * This is supposed to be more of a textbook than a manual. Messedrocker 01:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Merge
I suggest merging the entire MediaWiki User Guide into this Editing Wikitext book. Both books seem to have exactly the same topic and audience -- people who edit the content at some MediaWiki instance. --DavidCary (talk) 04:08, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Please do not do it.  The result is most likely the demise of both.   By all means improve this book by adding sections that have been forgotten;   subscripts and superscripts e.c.t., with a view to improving it further.   Mathematical notation needs a step by step instruction within this set in my opinion.   Perhaps somebody would care to have a whack at it?  Anonymouse. (0800 GMT, 7-Aug-2009)
 * I'd propose not to merge "Editing Wikitext" with "Mediawiki User Guide". While the actual subject matter seems to be the same, the books have a very different style. The wikibook "Editing Wikitext" has a misleading title, as its subject matter is "Editing Wikitext with Mediawiki". "Editing Wikitext" is chatty, and has colorful backgrounds and typographic niceties, while "Mediawiki User Guide" is terse in words, and plain in typography. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Dead link
On the Further Reading section, the link to " Mayflower Image Search Engine" lands on a 404 error.
