Hi Helen!

I am currently writing the documentation for my recently approved "Random select answers question type" plugin. In the new MediaWiki version, for the 3rd-party question types, there seems to be a conflict between 2 blocks which should both appear in the column on the right.

They are the {{Questions}} block and the {{Infobox plugin...} block.

In almost all of the existing 3rd-party question types doc, the doc page first displays the long list of core question types, followed by the relevant documentation for the current question type, which I find rather confusing for the visitor.

If one places the {{Questions}} block before the {{Infobox plugin...} block, it goes to the column on the right, and the {{Infobox plugin...} block remains in the main column, at the top, which IMHO looks better.

Actually, I feel one could to without the {{Questions}} block altogether, since users arriving on a particular 3rd-party question type page are first of all interested in its documentation, not in links to core question types.

What do you think?

Hi Oleg (and others)
I'm pleased to report that my Random answers select question type plugin was approved today and is available from the plugins repository at https://moodle.org/plugins/qtype_answersselect.
I will shortly write the relevant documentation in the Moodle docs wiki.
Joseph
PS.- A lot of thanks to Marcus Green for his help with the testing process.
