Unfortunately I notice myself getting a little bit annoyed of having to write the same thing over and over in almost every first answer to a thread (And based on the briefness of this I think so is Robin )
Please add a link to your route, please understand that weâre based on OSM, please edit OSM if you canâŚ
So can we get templates and onboarding hints like Stackoverflow does for example? At least for users with low rep (which this forum supports as well) the box on the right side should show some very strong hints in this direction.
Also, before clicking on âsendâ there could be a little popup asking âCheck again that you included XYZâ before posting.
We could create a topic template. For example something like this:
I think I have found an issue with the route calculated by Kurviger / Ich glaube ich habe einen Fehler bei der Routenberechnung von Kurviger gefunden
I read the corresponding documentation / Ich habe die entsprechende Documentation dazu gelesen
Here is a url to a short example (<10km) that shows the issue / Hier ist ein Link zu einer kurzen Route die das Problem zeigt:
[INSERT URL/LINK EINFĂGEN]
Description of the issue / Beschreibung des Problems:
[INSERT DESCRIPTION/BESCHREIBUNG EINFĂGEN]

Do we have that template (at least for new users) now? Cause I could swear itâs getting worse every day -.-
Maybe we need to make it shorter, focus just on the link, not even the FAQ
Not yet, I was waiting for some feedback on my proposal above
Better not many words, users donât like long docs.
Also will that template appear in all forum categories?
Should be annoying if all unrelated categories show it.
This template is only relevant for the routing subcategory . We can think about other templates for other categories as well.
I am not sure how to shorten this further down without becoming cryptic, do you have an idea?
Yeah no youâre right itâs already a pretty good, short text. Maybe just do it English-only, then it will look much less convoluted without all the â/â it signs
Ok, so I set a template. Letâs see how it works or if we should change it.
