Line 136:
* I also wouldn't recommend placing the results of examples in blockquotes (or any other formatting) for appearance’s sake. I'm aware this would be nicer to look at, however since blockquotes are part of wiki syntax, and wiki syntax is used in examples (and preloaded to sandbox too)... it would cause a need to explain these or explain that blockquotes are not part of the result, which could quickly become cumbersome and redundant or confusing (nor would doing in one place or once per page suffice, since few read manuals in their entirety, rather more often using them for reference). I had concerns about even doing this for "pre" tags, but that's a bare necessary (that I still need to explain somewhere, but forgot to). This is the reason I'm keeping these as simple as is possible, unless the example itself is complex, in which case the focus should ideally be only on the complexity of the matter to be learned itself (the example, and nothing extraneous). Another complaint with the old manual was that users couldn't coherently source-edit to see the contents of an example, and better understand what it was doing because there was too much either added/extra "stuff" going on, or unexplained stuff not explained/linked that needed to be (what's essential to inspecting the example components and nothing more/less). Many gave up on the extension as a result, citing the manual was too hard to understand. I'd like to (hopefully) avoid those same pitfalls.
 
Given I have cognitive and communication problems, it's very hard for me to stop and explain my rationale with each idea/suggestion. My working memory and multitasking ability is frankly terrible, stopping and starting to do so is very hadhard for me (a personal flaw from my difficulties, that I wish I could change, as I know it's not ideal). I know the logic behind why I'm approaching things a certain way, unfortunately my ability to stop and, think about, to synthesize, and to communicate this coherently in writing is also impaired, it takes more time than I have to sit down and just edit a bit each day, since I also have problems doing that for length of time (or writing at all). It can take me longer than an hour or two to write a reply like this due to my neuro-thing, which is then hard for me to continue the other work. My apologies for not having the bandwidth (nor ability) to explain better and switch between tasks (I hadn't anticipated this need so early on this wiki, and maybe I should have). These are the reasons I'm needing to hit pause, it's better if CA or someone else oversees, and I can work on bits and pieces on my own wiki at my leisure. I can always copy things I'm working on over later if they look useful, and if the content hasn't substantively taken a different direction meanwhile. If it has, I can keep my version for my own (and my wiki's) personal use, so the effort is good either way. :) [[User:FrozenPlum|FrozenPlum]] ([[User talk:FrozenPlum|talk]]) 04:49, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
