I'm not particularly skilled with HTML or code in general, but it seems less confusing to me than the visual editors which don't seem to do much but show-up little icons showing that there's some kind of item there to be worked with(but doesn't explain how to work with that item clearly). If you click (or double click?) those icons it will open another window which shows all available parameters of that template with the entry block. This is a very very good design so you won't miss any parameter for intricate template. The problem is if any entry contains another template, the visual mode engine will deem the structure to be too complex to handle and then force the user to switch back to source mode. This is a nightmare to those who never learn the wiki markup. In my experience, such user would attempt the alternate the code strangely in order to re-validate the visual mode, and the result is usually intolerable to source mode users. -- Inpursuit (talk) 17:02, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
