I have to admit I do most of my edits in the HTML editor. I think I even pasted my first article entirely into the HTML. I had my own table of contents, but I quickly replaced it with the built-in toc feature. I need to look into inserting images and some of the other features of the editor in the article you linked.

Ed,

Yes, I mean the blue portal buttons. I think, Getting Started page feature the How to Edit article is awesome, but we must think features about problems. For example, if Wiki team add a feature with a button that track article, when a user edit article and get problem, user can click button and report to Wiki team. Now, Wiki team know, which article has problem and what exactly happend.

That is just a think.

Patris,

In a lot of ways the Getting Started article is the Wiki Portal: social.technet.microsoft.com/.../wiki-getting-started.aspx

It's on the right side of the Wiki home page: social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki

Two questions... You think it should be one of the blue portal buttons? That might be hard deciding which to replace with it. And... How can we make that Getting Started page feature the How to Edit article better?

Ed,

I think is better, if you add a content portal for Wiki with other color.

Well, for one thing, we can feature it on the Home Page of TechNet Wiki. Maybe we can make it more prominent on the Getting Started page?

Yes, reading that How to Edit article should be a requirement for all new Wiki contributors.

Any Wiki Ninjas have ideas of how to make that closer to becoming a reality?

Thanks Jan!
