| Jun 24, 2014 at 22:14 | comment | added | hmayag | Since not all questions are about troubleshooting perhaps the template could be evolved to a "wizard" that displays an appropriate form for each type of question. | |
| Jun 24, 2014 at 18:17 | comment | added | Dan | I like where you are heading with this, but I'm against this idea just because it only addresses troubleshooting problems. As a first time user, you would most likely run away if your question wasn't a troubleshooting problem. | |

| Jun 23, 2014 at 15:41 | comment | added | Tim | @BrunoPereira I'm suggesting a feature - "why don't we bring it in?" What do you mean we have the "right tools"? Surely anything that helps us receive better questions is a reasonable suggestion. I think this is a good suggestion. | |
| Jun 23, 2014 at 15:36 | comment | added | Bruno Pereira | That question should have just been closed as "not clear what you are asking"... Why change the site when you have the right tools to make it work? | |
| Jun 23, 2014 at 15:21 | comment | added | Tim | @jorgecastro Well if it gives them easier instructions, then yes. I would much rather have had this when I was starting, I dunno about others. I think if it gives "intelligent" suggestions, it would be helpful. Plus, you would have to enter something into each. Right now, there is not much help text that I've noticed. | |
| Jun 23, 2014 at 14:58 | comment | added | Jorge Castro | If new users are skipping the instructive text before they even get to this screen do you really think they're going to follow these instructions? | |

@Wilf I would provide a link to the imgur upload. The tags section does already pick up on key words, but that could be improved a lot. CAPS LOCK does annoy me - even though it's just a copy paste change case, it's unnecessary and I do think that they should be blocked. It could automatically apply the sentence case format. The search engine is a good idea, and that would help them to actually do some research!

One other thing, it would be great if it showed whether the correct tags have been selected (definition clearly shown), and it could check whether things such capital letters have been used Appropriately instead of STUPIDLY. Also, after 'what have you done to solve it', it could suggest searching for an answer before posting (even providing a link to a search engine searching the title etc). I can think of more wacky ideas.... :)
