Articles so technical they're impossible to comprehend (copied from help desk)

Add the template {{technical}}, IIRC. Leave a note on the talk page as well, describing the problem. Shimgray | talk | 22:37, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Editing the introduction of an article

To edit a single section of an article you just click on the edit link (button, whatever) that appears to the right of the section title. Where is that link for the introduction? I have always clicked on the "edit this page" tab which can be cumbersome if the article is long. You have to scroll through reams of text to get to the edit box. Have I been missing something obvious all this time? Stroika 09:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

You can click another section and change the section number that appears in the URL, but most people use a user script to make either a tab or a edit link appear for the lead section. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:15, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Mgm. That's been bothering me for ages. Stroika 12:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
