** Specific comments on the solver's thought process while solving the puzzle

Trialing a slightly modified layout for puzzles, solutions and discussions.

  • Relocate all solutions to the Talk page instead of a spoiler in the puzzle page. This reduces the incentive to glance at the solution and also means that I can easily create a group ("test-solvers") that has read access to article pages but no access to Talk pages
  • Include on the Talk page a specific section for "Solver discussions". This section contains a table with everybody's feedback on the puzzle so that the designer can refine it if necessary. Things like:
    • Percentage of puzzle completed without guidance
    • A score rating (say, a 0 to 5 star system)
    • Specific comments on the solver's thought process while solving the puzzle
  • An example for people to look at and comment on is Must Try Again

SectionProtection tags replaced with Spoiler tags.

  • No user lists, no access protection.
  • Just a simple javascript toggle to switch between visible / invisible.
  • Supports all wiki-text/HTML

SectionProtection script has been updated.

  • Newest version supports encryption and prevents the previous workarounds.
  • However, doesn't behave well (high server load and session time out) when encrpyting large[1] wiki-text blocks.
  • Would strongly suggest that it only be used sparingly, with preference given to Spoiler tags instead.

Example: <spoiler> This is an example </spoiler>
