Warning when adding a category or template to discussion page
[edit]- Problem: On the Help desk or Teahouse it is hard for newbies to link to a category or file, as typing in a category name just adds the page to the category and silently disappears, while files display rather than link.
- Proposed solution: Add a warning on these help pages when a user types in a category or filename
- Who would benefit: The people asking and answering questions
- Category: New contributors
