Gotta close that bracket tho
Yes but when I did it turned it into a weird hyperlink
Oh yeah, that’s a thing. Probably need to sprinkle some backslashes or something in there.
This is a good idea!
I think allowing brief editorialization after the title strikes the right balance. Sometimes there is something particular the poster wants to highlight that the article title doesn't capture.
Off topic but I wish the body would automatically include a preview of the first few paragraphs of the Wikipedia entry.
If anyone knows how to code this together while allowing users to still set their own body text if they wish, hit me up!
Wikipedia-titles often don't give enough context for one to understand if it's worth clicking-into.
I've got enough web-parasites trying to machiavellianly pry into my finite-mental-strength, .. so it's more likely for me to just ignore any post in this community which I can't understand whether it's worth digging-into,
& therefore am much more prone to not engaging, thanks to the "laconic" non-informativeness of the posts.
Others may have the same reaction..
Take a look at www.TVTropes.org & see how their titles pull people into their articles, & see the difference with this community's posts..
Also, thank you for making this community: there are a few very interesting ones I've found only because of here.
