Sorry! Must've fat-fingered the mouse click... had an accidental highlight to bottom of page instead of just setting the insert point for the added text in the "See Also" of the "Contact" wiki article. (Took me a while to discover where you had to do the repair.)

Since you are reading '''''this paragraph''''', then the I have not progressed to the point of trimming out the excess template material. That means the wikipage is certainly not ready for collaborative editing yet. Multiple people editing ''now'' might unintentionally overwrite their work.

Hi Patsy! Are you able to delete these MediaWiki accounts?  If so, please delete this "Emyoulation" ... it was a "new user test" account. All my other work is under the earlier "Bamaustin" account and it would be bad if contact attempts via the test account's "Talk" page went unseen.

Thanks for improving my non English grammar. Also I was under the impression you could only us jump for Person but can see I was wrong.

Hi Gioto.  The grammar had been unchanged for quite some while.  Your edit just attracted attention.  (Every time I start to read the Wiki ... instead of just using it for a reference... the missing content distracts me. I am trying to fill in links from the Glossary "Custom Types" to where they are introduced in the wiki.)
  
−
Finding a ''[[Gramps_Glossary|Gramps Glossary]] term'' to link may be easier than choosing the best introductory section in the wiki.
+
Regarding the sandbox.
−
  <small>&#91;&#91;Gramps_Glossary#active_person|Active Person]]
 
−
  &#91;&#91;Gramps_Glossary#P|Primary Object]]</small>
 
−
Glossary terms (like [[Gramps_Glossary#active_person|Active Person]] above) are normally lowercase and use an underscore between words. They have a brief description and may already have the introductory text and practical tutorial linked. You can fall back to the Letter index (like using '[[Gramps_Glossary#P|P]]' with [[Gramps_Glossary#P|Primary Object]] above) if you don't know the exact entry.
 
  
−
Since most of these ''How do I...'' tutorials are likely to have been prompted by a MailList discussion, a set of example 'See also' link are included for reference.
+
Noticed that the layout is slightly incorrect. The Navigator and Sidebar are taller. The stacked Search Bar, Display and Bottombar together are the same height as those 2.
−
 
 
−
Pointing the ''maillist archived thread'' link to the original message that inspired the tutorial give proper credit for the idea &amp; reveals the background discussion.
 
−
 
 
−
Pointing another link to a good search phrase for the archive allows similar discussions to be explored.
 
  
 +
You're right. Text representations may be easier than screen captures for Translators. I tried including GIMP templates and gramps.ini files so translators could edit the text... but MediaWiki does not want to manage those filetypes.
 
----
 
----
−
 
+
Ok, I've tried my best with the table and it is only meant to be a representation and not exact. The reason the searchbar & bottombar's take up a full line is technically if you hide the navigator and sidebar that is how it is shown. the height of the display I've kept the same as the navigator & sidebar for simplicity. [[User:Gioto|Gioto]] ([[User talk:Gioto|talk]]) 00:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Once the tutorial Preview is satisfactory, save a revision of the document. Then clean out the virtual Copy&amp;Paste clipboard cluttering up your tutorial and save a final revision.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
To remove the virtual Copy&amp;Paste clipboard, simply delete everything from the beginning of this section to the bottom of the document. It is all disposable.
 
−
 
 
−
If the Copy&amp;Paste clipboard is needed again, simply paste the following line at the end of the Edit box, Save a revision, &amp; edit again.(Previewing isn't enough... a revision must be saved.)
 
−
<pre>  {{subst:Template:How_do_I}}</pre>
