Post your feedback about using the visual editor.
If you have never provided feedback before, you can learn how to do it effectively. If you are reporting a problem directly on this page, please include your web browser, computer operating system, and wiki skin (usually Vector, sometimes Monobook). The feedback tool within the visual editor will include your user agent details instead.
You can use this page to tell the Wikimedia developers your ideas and issues about using the visual editor: this is the only feedback page actively monitored by WMF staff. The Contributors team welcomes your feedback and ideas, especially on user interface decisions and the priorities for adding new features. All comments are read, in any language, but personal replies are not guaranteed: the team will try and go through reports here at least once a week. Need more attention? Report directly in Phabricator. Please note that the Wikimedia Foundation does not provide support for installing VisualEditor on third-party wikis. Please report bugs involving Parsoid at Talk:Parsoid instead.
You may also want to read a guide to optimize the visual editor's experience on your site, which details work necessary on the community side (such as translating or setting up citation systems).

In trying out the manual visual editor citation generator, I was unable to find basic |author and |editor1= fields. There is an |authorlist= field, but this isn't exactly the same. Otherwise, everything seems to be last name first name. Does the citation generator have a way to handle names that don't fit within a first name last name (or vice versa) convention, or does it have to be edited manually in source?
These are mappings made by the documentation of the TemplateData. See maps citoid in the template data definition of Cite web for instance. This mapping can differ per type of template, and of course it also highly depends on whether or not Zotero or one of the other sources of Citoid can even retrieve this information at all.
I don't know exactly how it pulls the TemplateData, but |author= is at least there for cite web. I was trying to add them manually, as the automatic was not pulling it.
Any ideas why VisualEditor throws this exception to Chrome console with 1.33 and later when copy pasting image to editor,

Same behaviour observed in Firefox 72.0.1, after trying to copy an image from a Word document
Do you realize that you are supposed to use Special:Upload to put images on your wiki, and not just copy/paste?
What os your point? We can achieve the functionality but being less usable is preferred?
Some extensions like ClipUpload actually manages that, we are talking about just one step more, which was working and now does not.
If you are having trouble with Extension:ClipUpload, then you should contact the maintainers of that extension. Extension:VisualEditor has never supported uploading via copy/paste, and supporting copy/paste uploads from the web is actively unwanted by Wikimedia Commons and the Wikipedia communities.
Extension:VisualEditor has never supported uploading via copy/paste
The user guide disagrees with you:
You can upload images from a tab in the media dialog, or by dragging and dropping a file into the editor, or by pasting an image from your clipboard.
I completely not agree with you.
If something is unwanted, does no seems that it has to be removed from a system.
This feature was working before and now not. Allowing users to do it or to enable it should be a good point.
You say that it was never supported, but it was here and it was a great feature as lots of users like me use wikimedia to store there IT process and then use copy/paste of screenshot.
How could you explain that if it was not supported it was working before and now it throw an error ?
using 1.34 - on line 5803 in oojs-ui-widgets.js, in OO.ui.SelectFileWidget.prototype.setValue, i changed the line files = files.slice(0,1) to files = [files.slice(0,1)] and i'm getting the image upload popup (error was calling .map on a single object not an array). Doesn't quite fix the problem for me, but it's progress (no thumbnail on the upload popup and when i hit upload i get a filename error)

Very likely spam, or someone who's just complaining or has no real wish for a resolution, and won't be back to read replies anyway. I thought I'd "translate" the "French-SMSese" into real French, and then to English, just in case:
"C'est bien, mais on se fait bloquer trop facilement. S'il vous plait, arretez s.v.p.; c'est chiant de A a Zed, la fin."
"It's fine, but you get stuck too easily. Please, stop please; it's effing annoying from A to Z. The End."
Il y a un problème avec visualeditor et la modification de formule entre balise "math". Quand on appuie sur modifier, le curseur apparait au milieu de la formule, au lieu d'apparaitre à la fin de celle-ci. Ainsi, quand on cherche à modifier la formule, celle -ci ne se modifie pas pas là où est le curseur mais beaucoup plus à droite.
We have an issue with visualeditor and formula between tag "math". When we try to modify a formula, the cursor appears in the middle of the formula, instead of at the end of it. And, when we try a modification, the change is made, not where the cursor is, but much further to the right.

When user using Chinese use VE and type in Chinese words and add source for it (such us [1]), if they continue to type the next word, the words they typed in would be deleted unexpectedly. It will only happen on the first word after the source, and won't happen every time.
For example, we have typed in:
这是一个例子[1]
and we will type the next character or word (e.g.内, nei),
first we type n:
这是一个例子[1]n 【n>1.你 2.呢 3.那 4.您 5.年】←the Chinese input program
and then we type e:
这是一个例子 【ne>1.呢 2.讷 3.那 4.呐 5.哪】
and then we type i:
这是一个 【nei>1.内 2.馁 3.那 4.哪 5.娞】
and we finally press 1 to choose "内", it will be:
这是
If we continue to type more, it will be deleted more...
Normally it should be:
这是一个例子[1]
这是一个例子[1]n 【n>1.你 2.呢 3.那 4.您 5.年】
这是一个例子[1]ne 【ne>1.呢 2.讷 3.那 4.呐 5.哪】
这是一个例子[1]nei 【nei>1.内 2.馁 3.那 4.哪 5.娞】
这是一个例子[1]内
When you type Chinese characters after the reference using Microsoft's own Pinyin input method, there is a high probability that the Chinese characters will not be typed. Also, the preceding content will be removed for no reason.
