Audit edit

Not certain about the bit directing people to the coordinators' page - mainly because we watch the talk page in any case, so it is a bit redundant?

otherwise, reviewed Cinderella157 (talk) 23:42, 21 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Cinderella157: Directing again to coords page is a redundant. Also I would like add a couple things you might like to consider.
  • As mentioned, the template {{User}} is not used to ping, but to generate the standard user representation to list users, for example on Project members page etc. To ping we generally user {{Ping}} or {{u}}, that sends a notification to user, without creating that (talk . contribs) thing.
  • Also, if an user is looking for some general help, it would be good if we mention about {{help me}}, that can be used on the same user's talk page that automatically lists the page at Category:Wikipedians looking for help, and is category is often checked by editors, help comes faster.
Looking forward for you opinion regarding this. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:12, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Krishna Chaitanya Velaga, In that case, I see no real value in mentioning {{User}}? The object is to make a notification. This can be done by {{Ping}} or as I did, with a simple copy&paste. This is what should be said? Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 04:27, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Cinderella157: Yes, {{User}} is not worth mentioning here. Yeah, simple copy paste is also a good option. But make sure that syntax usage is clearly explained, from a beginner's point of view. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 07:33, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Krishna Chaitanya Velaga, thanks for the comments. If you are happy with this, you might close the review. You will note, that the process I described is a guide and commonsense should prevail. You have already part reviewed what I have done in response to my questions. Saying this, please copyedit anything that is trivial and close. "Good form" would ask me to concur with anything a little more substantial before closing. Hope this makes sense. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 10:37, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
It's looks quite good. Review complete, requesting check. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 12:27, 25 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
