Sorry, feel free to edit this page further, constables, it's just that we definitely don't need to have all that extra garbage on the edit page for every edit. Let's try to keep things simple. --Larry Sanger 12:55, 29 May 2007 (CDT)

The thing about placing the special symbols on a separate page is they no longer work. Before, you could highlight your text or place the cursor into the edit window, click the symbol, and in it would go. I placed it because a few science editors wanted an easy way to place them into articles. ---Stephen Ewen 14:10, 29 May 2007 (CDT)

I do a number of articles with accented letters, such as Rene Lacoste -- how can I get the acute e onto Rene? Also I do *lots* of footnotes -- I need the <refxxref> thingees handy. Etc. I see in the Forum that someone else has also complained about the symbols no longer working. I myself don't think that the symbols intrude on the page. Please bring them back. Thanks!
