Description WhatamIdoing 2014-10-15 17:48:46 UTC
This is from Salix alba, and I don't believe that I can improve upon his description:


I wanted to add {{tl|Infobox musical artist}} to an article and it proved to be much more painful than it needs to be. 

If you want add one of the minor fields like {{param|genre}} you have to
#Click on '''Add more information'''
#Click on '''Show 17 more fields'''
#scroll down to find the field you want and click on it
#The window will then scroll to the top of the form so you have to
#scroll down again to find the field you want and fill in the value
#repeat the whole process again.

This could be made easier. Why do I need to click twice to show all fields? Why do I need to go back to square one after adding a field? Why does it not auto scroll to the correct place (actually why not simply show the field under it description in the list of fields).
