Does anyone else think the complexity of the markup is an explanation declining editorship?

"we just do not have any way to do it cleanly" - well as you can gather from my proposal [1] here, I think it can be done perfectly cleanly, and need not feel like a hoop to newcomers at all (see here), but rather a choice of help options.

Wizard/AFC could do with a lot of improvement, yes; like bringing in Javascript or linking to examples in a systematic way. But even without that, I think it's better than allowing newcomers a blank canvas and no clue what to do, getting it inevitably wrong, and then leaving in frustration. (But let's not make this thread about that - the RFC and talk page are quite enough...) Rd232 04:09, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
