Description Janesh Kodikara 2011-01-26 20:39:16 UTC
Reporting against the wiki hosted on http://janpaulposma.nl/sle/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Edit page window is open when link for editing a section is clicked 

Steps to reproduce:
1) Access the main page using chrome
2) Click on a section edit link appear at the right corner [edit] 

The entire page is opened for editing

Yes, at first this was intentional, as testing showed that users noticed these links long before noticing the tab at the top. However, it's too confusing for current editors and doesn't make a whole lot of sense, so probably something should be done about this.

Another option is to do open the entire page, but scroll to the position of the section. Yet another option is to then open the section textbox, but this kind of defeats the purpose of sentence-level editing. When opening the entire page, there are some advantages, e.g. people can edit another thing on the page. The [edit] links are useful because they show only the wikitext of one section, but the new interface already fixes this.

Therefore, I'm leaning towards the option of opening the entire page but scrolling to the section.
