Description Sean Smith 2008-07-19 07:49:26 UTC 
The sensible way to edit a large, oft frequented discussion page is by clicking on 'new section' or the 'edit' link next to the section of interest. Otherwise, one must search for the relevant section within the edit window and deal with the horror of edit-conflicts. Currently on pages like the Science Reference desk et al., the 'edit this page' link is bold and the 'new section' link is regular, leading to me accidentally being drawn to the bold link when I want the regular one. Indeed, I imagine few people ever need the 'edit this page' button on the reference desks. I suggest that the 'new section' link is made bold and the 'edit this page' link is made regular, so that people are drawn to what is probably the correct link out of the two.

This enhancement was suggested with support, and no objections raised at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29#Make_.27new_section.27_bold_and_.27edit_this_page.27_regular
