== Problem with template coordination ==<br />
[[File:Templateproblem.JPG|thumb|500px|right|[http://sl.tolkienslovenija.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Ainur article] [http://sl.tolkienslovenija.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Predloga:Ainur template page]]]I have a problem with template box converge to categories at the bottom of article too much. I tried putting <nowiki><br></nowiki> tags after the template in both template page and article, but it didn't work. How can I force the template to move higher?

:Hi, I believe I've fixed this problem, does it look better now? --[[User:Pinky|Pinky]]<staff /><sup>[[User talk:Pinky|Talk]]</sup> 22:15, 12 December 2010 (UTC)<br />
::Thanks, it does look better, but the problem is that templates push towards category on whole wikia, not just that article. Can you tell me of way to move template up myself so you don't have to edit whole wikia?<br>By the way sorry for late feedback, I didn't have the time to go on my wikia lately. :D [[User:EruannoAthreathadan|EruannoAthreathadan]] ([[User talk:EruannoAthreathadan|talk]]) 19:54, 29 December 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Question and suggestion ==<br />
<br />
Sorry for the generic title :) I have chosen to contact you because you were the one who created Shoutwiki's wiki creation tool. <br />
* First, the suggestion: that you add a generic [[MediaWiki:Edittools]] to new wikis (although it doesn't need to be as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Edittools complete] as Wikipedia's). I haven't had any problems adding my own, but many new users may not be so knowledgeable. Or they might even not know about that Mediawiki feature, unless they come from Wikipedia/Wikia/etc. <br />
* Second, the question: I miss a very handy Wikia-made extension called [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Link_Suggest Link Suggest], which auto-completes wikilinks within the edit box. I've also been able to locate a (somewhat) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zocky/Link_Complete similar tool] on Wikipedia, but since that is a user-generated script, and I'm not fully able to understand the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zocky/LinkComplete.js code], I don't feel confident using it. Do you think you (the staff, I mean) could develop/port this functionality for Shoutwiki? It was '''really''' useful on Wikia. <br />
Thank you in advance. [[User:Scarbrow|Scarbrow]]<sup>[[User_talk:Scarbrow|talk]]</sup> 00:39, 15 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Extra details: I contacted Wikia staff and they pointed me to [https://svn.wikia-code.com/wikia/trunk/extensions/wikia/LinkSuggest/ the repository]. It's available under the GPL. I don't know if more details (besides the standard [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions Extensions manual]) is needed, but I have asked for further details. I hope it's useful and you're able to install it. [[User:Scarbrow|Scarbrow]]<sup>[[User_talk:Scarbrow|talk]]</sup> 09:14, 15 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Further details: Unfortunately there are no specific instructions to install it. The standard procedure should work, but it also requires [http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/ YahooUI Library]. Furthermore, they told me about two (loosely) [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Link_Suggest related] [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuickLink extensions], although they really can't compare with the Wikia one. [[User:Scarbrow|Scarbrow]]<sup>[[User_talk:Scarbrow|talk]]</sup> 01:17, 16 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Hi Scarbrow, hmm... do you have a specific version of MediaWiki:Edittools that you think would be good for new wikis? As far as the Link Suggest extension, I would suggest filing a bug in our [http://bugzilla.shoutwiki.com/ bugzilla] about that.
