Tabs for all user handbook pages
I don't think we actually need the parent tab template at the top like that. What we should do is have a dedicated tab template for all the things in the User Handbook template at the bottom of this page, or something similar. And it should look nice and professional, fancy, and fun. 04:14, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Like the user handbook template we have right now? I thought that this would replace that entirely, and it is a lot easier to navigate pages with tabs than a collapsible template. 04:25, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Well, probably not totally replacing that template, but at least linking to the important stuff. I just think it would look more snazzy to have a nice thing at the top of the page.

Tab Titles
Can we place the forum rules under the same tab as the blogs and chat? What about talk page etiquette? I think we could place all of them under the same tab, but we rename the tab "Blogs, Chat, Forums, and Talk Pages" or something. 14:42, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Wikitext
"Headers should be in the form ==Header==, not the form == Header ==. This only applies to articles, image pages use == Summary == automatically and talkpages are free form and no changes should ever be made to header style." - who decided this? I'm agaisnt. It's much better with the spaces, and it's generally the standard format. The fact that sections automatically added by wiki tools use this is the prove.


 * Also I propose to add spaces in lists, for example  instead of  . This is also the standard format.

I don't think there was ever a formal conversation on this subject, but if the headings in images are automatically spaced, why not make it standard throughout the articles too? I don't really object to this at all, so we can go ahead and implement that change. 16:40, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

This wasn't discussed yet.

I don't think it's important enough to be a rule, as long as the spacing doesn't change the page layout or turn the page into an incomprehensible wall of text. I personally don't use spaces in headers and such, but either way is fine really. However, like with changing links, I don't think it should be ok to edit pages simply to space out headers, like with changing link formats. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 18:28, May 5, 2016 (UTC)

The point is that the current manual of style say you have to use the space-less version. You are using it simply because you are used to see it, while in fact the standard form is with the spaces (see Wikipedia and other wikis). The spaces don't change the layout, but make the code much more readable and pleasant.
