One Minute Editing

Current:

Editing Existing Pages: Click the EditText link at the bottom of the page, then edit the text (see TextFormattingRules and GoodStyle). When done, click the Save button at the top of the editing page. (Please do not edit this page to experiment - use the WikiWikiSandbox.)

Discussion

This is good in terms of what it links to, but could be even clearer. Click EditText, which shows a text-edit area, etc.

Agreed. Rather than "(see TextFormattingRules and GoodStyle)", I think it would be better to draw a reader's attention to the "items below the text area" when editing. -- RalphMellor

Why not both?

In the context of brevity, anything but the highest value redundancy is a bad thing. Imo it's important to alert readers to momentarily focus on the stuff below the text area, but it's not important for them to know what those links are before they get to the edit screen. --RalphMellor
