submit button

My dialog tools — coded recently and defensively — are so far continuing to work while older javascript gets less reliable day by day. So I've deployed the new submit button on the {{develop}} and {{tasks}} templates. I plan to wait a bit and then remove the old javascript code from Common.js. --Pi zero (talk) 23:35, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Old code removed. --Pi zero (talk) 13:54, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And, new button recreated under a different naming scheme, as {{assistant/submit}}. --Pi zero (talk) 01:55, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
