My only hesitance with this, my dear friend, is that without brushing off my roundabout coding knowledge or looking up the answer on the central wiki; 1. I do not know how to make a green parentheses 2. I do not know how to make an orange parentheses 3. I do not know how to make a red parentheses 4. I do not know how to make a blue parentheses 5. I do not know how to make a purple parentheses And I fear that If I do not know how to make it work, the everyday contributor will not either, and some may not have the selfless determination to squibble around trying to work it out/find the answer.

Even more steadfastly, that this restriction would make people either noncompliant or worse, atychiphobic, which would result in them doing nothing at all- something that is quite obviously not our goal.

A hypothetical and technically feasible solution would be to hard-code a guide and/or shortcut keys into our wiki's editing mode. Alternatively or conjunctively, we could alter the welcome text to the wiki and have the new text include the shortcut keys/guide or current method, respectively.
