I've noticed that this page is getting a large number of misplaced articles. Roughly half of the edits to this page are misplaced articles or reverts of misplaced articles. I hope that an editnotice might stem the tide of misplaced edits slightly. Hence, I would like to propose the above editnotice. Comments are welcome. Feel free to make amendments to the notice above if you feel it could be improved. – PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 21:48, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Good idea! Your wording is almost the same as Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:Starting an article - either will do. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:07, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- Okay. I've requested that an admin create the editnotice at Template talk:Editnotices/Page/Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual/Editing, Creating, and Maintaining Articles/Creating a New Article#Page creation request. I looked at about three different editnotices to get an idea of how to word the notice. The 'Starting an article' page was one of those that inspired me. – PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 22:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
