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).

Hei! Jeg prøvde å laste opp et bilde jeg har tatt av Trygve Gjedrem i denne siden jeg oppretter, men får gjenntagende feilmelding. Trenger hjelp. Takk.

It's gone. I like it over the old model. I tried on different browser. Still nope.
If I click the link button and enter mw:Citoid for instance, VisualEditor converts it to Mw:Citoid in the source. Omegatron (talk) 19:28, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
When I edit an article that contains images the image gets wrapped with <figure-inline> and </figure-inline> tags. Is there any way to turn that off? Because I always have to remove that stuff with the Wiki source code editor.
I'm afraid I cannot send you a link to our wikis since they are all only internally reachable. So all you can do is try it out yourself.
I've found out something interesting. This error occured after the Update of MediaWiki 1.30! Before that, Visual Editor worked flawlessly. Is there any way to correct this mistake? Otherwise I will have to downgrade our wikis to Version 1.29.2.
I can't reproduce this. Feel free to edit https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Whatamidoing_(WMF)/Sandbox and let me know if you can get it to happen here.
The only bug report I can find that even mentions figure-inline is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183356 That contains some debugging details, but I'm not sure that it has anything to do with your problem.
My copy of Mediawiki is having this problem as well. I recently updated VisualEditor to the 1.31 version alongside the rest of the wiki components and now I'm having the problem: Link: https://www.wikidoc.org/index.php/Lower_Limb
I was just informed that the fix is allegedly to update your Parsoid, if you update your VE and not your parsoid the tags get generated and aren't parsed correctly
<figure-inline> tags for inline images were introduced in a relatively recent version of Parsoid (September 2017); previously they were wrapped in <span> tags.
This issue sounds like something that might happen if you updated your VE (so that your new version of VE generates <figure-inline> and expects Parsoid to handle them), but not your Parsoid (so your old version of Parsoid doesn't know how to handle them yet and outputs them as-is to wikitext).
The solution is probably to upgrade your Parsoid, or if you can't do that (especially if you installed from a Debian/Ubuntu package, I think they are not updated very often), you'll have to downgrade your MediaWiki/VisualEditor :(

In my case it happens when there is no alignment parameter. With options left, right, center and none it is OK
Hi,
I'm trying to migrate Drive and ODT documents into my wiki (mediawiki 1.33 with VisualEditor last version). When I do a copy-paste of all the content to the VisualEditor all the links are lost. Is there a way to copy the text links too?
Thx
Hi
I think it would be very helpful for VE users to have the list of the last templates used (approx. 10) when the box opens.
It would save a lot of time as contributors often use the same templates.
Not sure it's the best place to post this idea...
Thx
שלום רב, אני יצרתי דף ויקיפדיה וברצוני למחוק את הדף שייצרתי איך עושים זאת?
I needed these functions today:
- Copy column to the left retaining only words ending in HBX, SBX, or BOX.
- Delete all words from column ending in HBX, SBX, or BOX.
Alternatively:
- Copy column to the left.
- Delete all data words from column ending in HBX, SBX, or BOX.
- Delete all data words from column not ending in HBX, SBX, or BOX.
It should be "duplicate column" rather than "copy column to the left" in the alternative.
Offhand, I don't think that the visual editor can do that, although perhaps in its wikitext mode, someone could pull off a regex find/replace on it.
Did you consider copying the contents to a spreadsheet, manipulating it there, and dragging a .csv file back in, to overwrite the old content?
Hi, when I edit this page: https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucho_a_teplo_v_Evrop%C4%9B_2019?veaction=edit#Francie editor of infobox - katastrofa is not displayed correcly. (See file)
Is this still happening to you? Usually, that behavior suggests a problem with the template, rather than the editor.
On our in-house wiki, we nearly always desire images to be on the left, as primary content, rather than right-justified, in the place suited for decorative illustration. Is there someplace where the defaults can be easily adjusted?
