Description Dan Bolser 2011-05-25 00:00:36 UTC
I'm creating pages with 100s of instances of a certain template.

Users can drag the templates around to change their order (a very important task in my wiki, believe it or not!).

However, when adding new instances to the page, it becomes cumbersome to drag the new instances past potentially 100's of other instances to drop them in the right position in the list of others.

The simplest fix would be to have another 'Add another' button at the top of the multiple instance template section (in addition to the one at the bottom). At least then the user would only have to drag the new instance about half the length of the page at most.

The best fix for me would be to have one 'Add another' button under each instance, that created an instance below the current instance.

Just a suggestion, I don't know how the instances are ordered internally... perhaps this would have to be a JS 'trick'.

Only two years later, :) this is now done in SF 2.5.2, with the new "add instance above" icon.
