Tthe main issue is that currently it is a bit hard to understand how it all fits in.

Admins don't have a sort of preview featuring the things we are changing. So it is a bit like guess work, hoping that it will all work out,  completing the "process" and clicking mobile preview. Then rinse and repeat. There's also a break in the flow, because one must leave the dialog to see a preview of the article.

A couple of suggestions:


 * Add a preview within the window/dialog


 * The featured category dialog is kind of problematic. It automatically shows articles but then refuses to accept it because it wants categories. Perhaps it should only show only categories.


 * The Crop tool is wierd. It wants a particular size, but doesn't allow us to zoom in or out. There are also no specs anywhere indicating what are the "preferred" images (size, width, format) for mobile. SVG would probably be the best in terms of bandwith and performance.


 * The images and videos it uses automatically should be visible to the admin before completing the process. Some images and videos might not be appropriate or really relevant to the wiki.

A document containing best practices with regards to images, types of articles, and videos would be useful.
