  • EditTools: A table appearing under your source editor with clickable characters to instantly insert them where you've put your typing cursor or whatever, it makes the VisualEditor obsolete and gay.
It's about time we fucking had one

New Pages
  • Help: Cheatsheet: A cheatsheet to help you with common wiki markup like how to bold or make a list (even though the buttons on the fucking VisualEditor and Source Editor exist :facepalm:)
Again, it's about time we fucking had one

Old uses of the EDF templates are broken but who cares since the links it used to redirect to didnt work :preston:
  • Template:Website - An alternative to 90% of the Link Templates and a preventive measure to create one for each website/social (e.g. Neocities, VidLii, Miraheze)
How does it work?
Carefully write this:
{{Website|filename.extension|full url|optional alt text|}}
or
{{ws|filename.extension|full url|optional alt text|}}
Will display a 16x16 image with an hyperlink next to it like this

What does this mean?
Template: Policy2 isn't going to get baleeted, however it shares the same code as Template: Policy and it redirects to it: If you type the shortcut name, the template will mention the shortcut (like Policy2 did and was made for), if not, nothing special happens (like Policy)

Creation of two Userboxes for your User pages only
  • Template:MemberFor - Displays what is your join date and its time in years, months and days
  • Template:StaffMember - An all-in-one solution and alternative to {{admin}} templates, etc. You can put this after a pipe to indicate your role.

Upcoming Template Updates
  • Merging of the EDF Link Templates with a switch case so that you can choose to put a thread, a message or a user
  • Merging of the YouTube Link Templates with a switch case for a video link (not embed), playlist link (still not embed) or a channel link
New Pages
  • Aediot : A page about Jacob and his antics. Redirects include "Jacob Stellmach", "The Hustler's Bible" and "Paperclip"/"Paeperclip"
  • Encyclopedia Dramatica:Restoration 2020 - Stolen article from .wiki, now more important than before. Shortcut: ED:REBUILD

Will update this thread as soon as new important pages/templates arrive

God bless ED.

  • You need the EDitor role to edit or autoconfirm (validate your email) to edit pages
  • If you want a dedicated article you have to be a huge piece of shit, but you can also just edit your own User page
I'm trying to autoconfirm my email address, but it wont let me beause of "invalid characteristics."

Update Bump:
I made the youtube template future proof, old youtube templates still work as intended
It now asks for a type and defaults to a user id if no type was given (like it was before, to not change the pages using the template)

ytc uses yt|c
ytchannel uses yt|ch
and ytuser redirects to yt
