Description

This bug will track specific improvement requests for course pages and their editing interface.

As a starting point, I'll add bugs for the following.

Based on the feedback from professors ambassadors so far, the key improvement requests are:

Move the Description box to the top of the page, so that instructors can have control over the above-the-fold section of the course page.

Remove the title "Description", so that it is apparent that

Make the edit window for the (untitled) Description box a full-size edit window, so that it's easier to build a complex course page and not feel like it is intended only to hold a small amount of text.

Enable edit links on individual sections within the Description box, including links to edit sections of transcluded pages in the same way as transclusion work in other namespaces.

Version: master
Severity: enhancement
