I want my MediaWiki to appear like this:
Instead of this:
Reason: Since the MediaWiki 1.35 update, which defaults to VisualEditor, I have observed in Special:RecentChanges that many edits are tagged with Visual Editor: Switched, meaning they opened VE and switched to source editing afterwards.
What do I need to change in LocalSettings.php for both tabs to appear?
You might be looking for Extension:VisualEditor#Quick_configuration_guide.
It is a separate page.
I think that it depends upon whether you have the VisualEditor/Single edit tab system. Some WMF wikis do, and some don't, and I have no idea what's the default for third-party MediaWiki installations.
Steps to reproduce:
Upon the last step, it switched back to Default again, apparently because the one-digit width pixel number is initially too low. But I intended to type in a three-digit width.
Not sure if I am the only one to experience this, but I posted it here just in case, so it can be looked into.
Hello, in mobile devices, when I change to desktop mode in a browser, at the time of editing with VisualEditor, it shows a notice that says: You are using a browser that is unofficially compatible with this editor. Could you solve this problem? Thanks.
The desktop software is not designed to work on a mobile device. It may behave strangely or crash unexpectedly. It is appropriate to warn editors about this risk.
I want desktop software to be designed for mobile devices too, especially tablets, because tablets are close to being computers.
Hello. When I made the edit on Help:Export, VisualEditor happened to remove much text that I did not actually remove while editing.
I did not realize it after saving.
Apparently, the same happened to the editor on that page prior to me, removing a similar amount of bytes from the page.
I suggest making the source editor default again to prevent such glitches that appear like vandalism.
Apparently, the same bug also happened to editors on Extension:MobileFrontend.
The edit summaries suggest good-faith edits, but much text has been removed in edits tagged as visual edit.
Yes, I will. Thanks.
But expectedly, people tend to use the default, which on this site is the Visual Editor that apparently is unstable and causes good-faith users to unintentionally vandalize pages.
I suggest the developers to look into it.
I assume that this is due to VisualEditor's lack of support for Extension:Translate.
Shirayuki, do you think that page needs an Edit notice or other warning about it?
I use MediaWiki 1.31 and Parsoid 0.9.0.
I restored Russian Wikipedia from dump and have an error opening some pages in VisualEditor. For example, Россия/Russia, США/USA, Япония/Japan and other countries.
It may be my mistake, but these are the same pages that "protected" on Wikipedia (of course, I didn't check all the pages on Wikipedia, just those I interested in).
So, the question is: did I do something wrong or some pages really cannot be edit in VisualEditor?
I can open w:ru:Россия in the visual editor. It's a large page (534,630 bytes, at the moment). Do you have problems with large pages?
typo fixed
should be "run without MediaWiki" instead of "run without without MediaWiki"
In VisualEditor would exist the option: Insert > New Section, if you go to the end of the section, bellow which you want to put the new one. --
Another way is using a floating element and put it in the place where the new section is going to be. Or simply, click in a button "New section" and click in the place of the text where the new section is going to be (then would appear a floating bar with the text. "Is it in the correct place?. [Yes] / [No]" (in any case, writting a text in the place would disappear this floating bar / message).
Do you know how to change a line into a section heading? It's the dropdown menu towards the start of the toolbar, where it usually says "Paragraph" (for plain text).
I love the VE, I use it all the time. I've written extremely complicated, long articles with it, including en:2channel, en:Bureau of Immigration Bicutan Detention Center, en:West Coast Customs, and so on. I hate switching to source editing. This might seem bizarre given I work as a computer programmer, but it is what it is. I would like to be able to give my references more descriptive names than :1, :0, et cetera, as sometimes I unfortunately need to switch to source editing and stick a ref in a template or something. Is this planned?
I believe that @IFried (WMF)'s team will be dealing with that before long. Put m:Community Tech/Allow references to be named in VisualEditor on your watchlist if you'd like to help with that.
This counts only edits made with the visual editor on the desktop site (i.e., excluding VisualEditor on mobile and the 2017 wikitext editor, both of which are part of Extension:VisualEditor).
I suggest we change location of "signature command" from drop menu to be as a button on VE main toolbar
Their theory in the past has been that wherever you find a tool in the visual editor, it's always in the same place.
