Description Elitre 2013-06-30 19:44:37 UTC
As per http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:VisualEditor/User_guide#Discoverability .
Might be handy, since we're pretty much beginners with it.
Comment 1 James Forrester 2013-06-30 21:20:45 UTC
Possibly add the help icon to the "beta" label, and have it as an option in the menu?
Comment 2 Guillaume Paumier 2013-07-01 11:49:44 UTC
That sounds good. The link should probably be something like [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User guide]] and live in a MediaWiki: interface message, so that wikis can customize it to link to a local page.

My feeling is that the link to the user guide should persist even after we're out of the beta, but we can discuss this then.
