Topic on Extension talk:VisualEditor

I have a personal wiki running on mediawiki and don't think I really need to track the page edit summary or whatsoever, so is there anyway to skip it? which means when I am done with editing on a page and click on Save, it just Save the page without asking me to describe what I changed..

Thank you!

Same here, it would be a nice option

Did u find a way to this problem or is it still unsolved?

Not yet.

Looking for this as well.

Would appreciate a solution for this as well!

Hello all,

I have had a quick look at this, and decided it was too much of a specific hack. But for all of you asking this question, see the file:

 VisualEditor/modules/ve-mw/init/targets/ve.init.mw.ArticleTarget.js

where you will find this function:

 ve.init.mw.ArticleTarget.prototype.showSaveDialog

and I'm pretty sure that is where the magic happens. It isn't just a simple case of saying "skip the dialogue" because there are numerous messages that are handled.

HtH,

Adding this at the beginning of ve.init.mw.ArticleTarget.prototype.showSaveDialog

this.save(this.getDocToSave(), this.getSaveOptions());

this.tryTeardown(true);

return;

Seems to save the changes without annoying popup and leave the editing mode. But it still requires a manual page refresh (or clicking the Page tab) to see the saved changes.

A better way is to replace

`var openPromise = windowAction.open( 'mwSave', data, action );` with `var openPromise = windowAction.open( 'mwSave', data, 'save' );`

This opens the pop-up, but closes it again immediately and the user is taken back to the reading view without having to refresh the page. The briefly opened pop-up bothers me less than having to manually switch back to the reading view.

Read tab, not the Page tab

Well both are fine actually ;-)
