Everything that the English Wikipedia received today has been running on Mediawiki for a week already. </p><p>Officially, the problem with the link inspector not <b>linking to a specific section</b> on a page (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53219" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53219">bug 53219</a>) was fixed in this release, although that critical patch actually appeared here earlier. </p><p>A number of bugs related to <b>copy-and-paste functionality</b> were fixed (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48604" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:48604">48604</a>, <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50043" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:50043">bug 50043</a>, <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53362" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53362">bug 53362</a>, <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51538" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:51538">bug 51538</a>, among others). Full rich copy-and-paste from external sources into VisualEditor is expected "soon". </p><p>In other fixes, you can no longer add empty ref tags (<code><ref/></code>) (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53345" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53345">bug 53345</a>). Selecting both an image and some text, and then trying to add a link, previously deleted the selected image and the text. This was fixed in <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50127" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:50127">bug 50127</a>. There was another problem related to using arrow keys to move the cursor next to an inline image that was fixed (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53507" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53507">bug 53507</a>). </p><p><b>Looking ahead</b>: The next planned upgrade is scheduled for next Thursday, and you should expect to find a redesigned toolbar with drop-down menus that include room for references, templates, underline, strikethrough, superscript, subscript, and code formatting. There will also be keyboard shortcuts for setting the format (paragraph vs section headings). </p><p>If you are active at <b>other Wikipedias</b>, the next group of Wikipedias to have VisualEditor offered to all users is being determined at this time. Generally speaking, languages that depend on the <a href="/wiki/Input_method_editor" class="mw-redirect" title="Input method editor">input method editor</a> are <i>not</i> going to receive VisualEditor this month. The current target date is Tuesday, September 24 for logged-in users only. You can <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Portal/Localization" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Portal/Localization"><b>help with translating the documentation</b></a>. In several cases, most of the translation is already done, and it only needs to be copied over to the relevant Wikipedia.

class="side-box-abovebelow"><b>Did you know?</b> <p>You can edit a page's categories in VisualEditor. Click the "Page settings" button (next to Cancel/Save) in the toolbar to open the category tool. It will show you a list of the current categories for that page. </p><p>To add a category, type the name of the category you want to add in the search field. To remove an existing category, click on the category in the list and then, in the dialog that opens, click on the "Remove" icon (trash can). "Options" will allow you to set a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DEFAULTSORT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DEFAULTSORT">default sorting key</a>. </p><p>For more details, read <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide#Editing_categories" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide">VisualEditor's user guide</a>.</p></div> </div> <p>VisualEditor has been updated twice in the last two weeks. As usual, what is now running on the English Wikipedia had a test run at <a href="/wiki/Mediawiki" class="mw-redirect" title="Mediawiki">Mediawiki</a> during the previous week. </p><p>As announced, the <b>toolbar was redesigned</b> to be simpler, shorter, and to have the ability to have drop-down groups with descriptions. What you see now is the initial configuration and is expected to change in response to feedback from the English Wikipedia and other Wikipedias. The controls to add <code><u></code> (underline), <code><sub></code> (subscript), and <code><sup></code> (superscript), <code><s></code> (strikethrough) and <code><code></code> (computer code/monospace font) annotations to text are available to all users in the drop-down menu. At the moment, all but the most basic tools have been moved into a single drop-down menu, including the tools for inserting media, references, reference lists, and templates. <span style="color:black;background:lightyellow">The current location of all of the items in the toolbar is temporary, and your opinions about the best order are needed! Please offer suggestions at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Toolbar" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Toolbar">Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Toolbar</a>.</span> </p><p>In an eagerly anticipated upgrade to the <b>reference dialog</b>, newly added references or reference groups no longer need the page to be saved before they can be re-used (bugs <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51689" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:51689">51689</a> and <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52000" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:52000">52000</a>). The 'Use existing reference' button is now disabled on pages which don't yet have any references (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51848" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:51848">bug 51848</a>). The template parameter filter in the transclusion dialog now searches both parameter name and label (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51670" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:51670">bug 51670</a>). </p><p>In response to several requests, there are some new <b>keyboard shortcuts</b>. You can now set the block/paragraph formatting from the keyboard: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1249182868">.mw-parser-output .keyboard-key{border:1px solid #aaa;border-radius:0.2em;box-shadow:0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1);background-color:var(--background-color-neutral-subtle,#f8f9fa);background-image:linear-gradient(to bottom,var(--background-color-neutral,#eaecf0),var(--background-color-neutral-subtle,#f8f9fa),var(--background-color-neutral,#eaecf0));color:var(--color-base,#202122);padding:0.1em 0.3em;font-family:inherit;font-size:0.85em}</style><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">0</kbd> sets a block as a regular paragraph; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">1</kbd> up to <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">6</kbd> sets it as a Heading 1 ("Page title") to Heading 6 ("Sub-heading 4"); <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">7</kbd> sets it as pre-formatted (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33512" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:33512">bug 33512</a>). <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">2</kbd>, which creates level 2 section headings, may be the most useful. </p><p>Some improvements were made to <b>capitalization for links</b>, so typing in "iPhone" will offer a link to "iPhone" as well as "IPhone" (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50452" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:50452">bug 50452</a>). </p><p><b>Copying and pasting within the same document</b> should work better as of today's update, as should copying from VisualEditor into a third-party application (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53364" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53364">bug 53364</a>, <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52271" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:52271">bug 52271</a>, <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52460" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:52460">bug 52460</a>). Work on copying and pasting between VisualEditor instances (for example, between two articles) and retaining formatting when copying from an external source into VisualEditor is progressing. </p><p>Major improvements to <b>editing with input method editors</b> (IMEs; mostly used for Indic and East Asian languages) are being deployed today. This is a complex change, so it may produce unexpected errors. On a related point, the names of languages listed in the "languages" (langlinks) panel in the Page settings dialog now display as RTL when appropriate (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53503" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53503">bug 53503</a>). </p><p><b>Looking ahead:</b> The help/'beta' menu will soon expose the build number next to the "Leave feedback" link, so users can give more specific reports about issues they encounter (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53050" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53050">bug 53050</a>). This change will make it easier for developers to identify any cacheing issues, once it starts reporting the build number (currently, it says "Version <a href="/wiki/False" class="mw-disambig" title="False">false</a>"). Also, inserting a link, reference or media file will put the cursor after the new content again (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53560" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53560">bug 53560</a>). Next week’s update will likely improve how dropdowns and other selection menus behave when they do not fit on the screen, with things scrolling so the selected item is always in view. </p><p>If you are active at <b>other Wikipedias</b>, the next group of Wikipedias to have VisualEditor offered to all users is being finalized. About two dozen Wikipedias are on the list for Tuesday, September 24 for logged-in users only, and on Monday, September 30 for unregistered editors. You can <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Portal/Localization" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Portal/Localization"><b>help with translating the documentation</b></a>. In several cases, most of the translation is already done, and it only needs to be copied over to the relevant Wikipedia.

As usual, what is now running on the English Wikipedia had a test run at <a href="/wiki/Mediawiki" class="mw-redirect" title="Mediawiki">Mediawiki</a> during the previous week. If you haven't done so already, you can turn on VisualEditor by going to <a href="/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing" title="Special:Preferences">your preferences</a> and choosing the item, "<code><a href="/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable (page does not exist)">MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable</a></code>". </p><p><span style="color:black;background:yellow">The <b>reference dialog for all Wikipedias, especially the way it handles <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates" title="Wikipedia:Citation templates">citation templates</a></b>, is being redesigned.

You can also <b>drag and drop references</b> (select the reference, then hover over the selected item until your cursor turns into the drag-and-drop tool). This also works for some templates, images, and other page elements (but not yet for text or floated items). References are now editable when they appear inside a media item's caption (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50459" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:50459">bug 50459</a>). </p><p>There were a number of miscellaneous fixes made: Firstly, there was a bug that meant that it was impossible to move the cursor using the keyboard away from a selected node (like a reference or template) once it had been selected (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54443" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:54443">bug 54443</a>). Several improvements have been made to <b>scrollable windows, panels, and menus</b> when they don't fit on the screen or when the selected item moves off-screen. Editing in the "slug" at the start of a page no longer shows up a chess pawn character ("♙") in some circumstances (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54791" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:54791">bug 54791</a>). Another bug meant that links with a final punctuation character in them broke extending them in some circumstances (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54332" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:54332">bug 54332</a>). The "page settings" dialog once again allows you to remove categories (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54727" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:54727">bug 54727</a>). There have been some problems with deployment scripts, including one that resulted in VisualEditor being broken for an hour or two at all Wikipedias (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54935" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:54935">bug 54935</a>). Finally, snowmen characters ("☃") no longer appear near newly added references, templates and other nodes (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:54712">bug 54712</a>). </p><p><b>Looking ahead:</b> Development work right now is on rich copy-and-paste abilities, quicker addition of citation templates in references, setting media items' options (such as being able to put images on the left), switching into wikitext mode, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Toolbar" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Toolbar">simplifying the toolbar</a>.

</p> <p>VisualEditor's toolbar has a new feature (currently working only in some browsers), <b>"Switch to source editing"</b>. By choosing this item, you can move directly into the wikitext source editor without saving. This is particularly useful if you need to make significant changes to tables, image galleries, or other elements that are not currently supported. </p><p>For more information about how to use VisualEditor, read <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide">Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide</a>.</p></div> </div> <p>Since the last newsletter, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor">VisualEditor</a> team has worked on some feature changes, major infrastructure improvements to make the system more stable, dependable and extensible, some minor toolbar improvements, and fixing bugs. </p><p>A new form parsing library for language characters in Parsoid caused the corruption of pages containing diacritics for about an hour two weeks ago. Relatively few pages at the English Wikipedia were affected, but this created immediate problems at some other Wikipedias, sometimes affecting several dozen pages. The development teams for Parsoid and VisualEditor apologize for the serious disruption and thank the people who reported this emergency at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback">Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback</a> and on the public <a href="/wiki/IRC" title="IRC">IRC</a> channel, #mediawiki-visualeditor. </p><p>There have been dozens of changes since the last newsletter. Here are some of the highlights: </p> <ul><li><b>Accidental deletion of infoboxes and other items:</b> You now need to press the <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">Delete</kbd> or <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">← Backspace</kbd> key <i>twice</i> to delete a template, reference or image. The first time, the item becomes selected, and the second time, it is removed. The need to press the delete key twice should make it more obvious what you are doing and help avoid accidental removals of infoboxes and similar (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55336" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:55336">bug 55336</a>).</li> <li><b>Switch from VisualEditor to the wikitext editor:</b> A new feature lets you make a direct, one-way editing interface change, which will preserve your changes without needing to save the page and re-open it in the wikitext editor (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50687" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:50687">bug 50687</a>). It is available in a new menu in the action buttons by the Cancel button (where the "Page Settings" button used to be). Note that this new feature is not currently working in Firefox.</li> <li><b>Categories and Languages</b> are also now directly available in that menu. The category suggestions drop-down was appearing in the wrong place rather than below its input box, which is now fixed. An incompatibility between VisualEditor and <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid" class="extiw" title="mw:Parsoid">the deployed Parsoid service</a> that prevented editing categories and language links was fixed.</li> <li><b>File:, Help: and Category: namespaces:</b> VisualEditor was enabled for these namespaces the on all wikis (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55968" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:55968">bug 55968</a>), the <b>Portal: and Viquiprojecte:</b> namespaces on the Catalan Wikipedia (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56000" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:56000">bug 56000</a>), and the <b>Portal: and Book: namespaces</b> on the English Wikipedia (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56001" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:56001">bug 56001</a>).</li> <li><b>Media item resizing:</b> We improved how files are viewed in a few ways. First, inline media items can now be resized in the same way that has been possible with block ones (like thumbnails) before. When resizing a media item, you can see a live preview of how it will look as you drag it (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54298" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:54298">bug 54298</a>). While you are dragging an image to resize it, we now show a label with the current dimensions (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54297" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:54297">bug 54297</a>). Once you have resized it, we fetch a new, higher resolution image for the media item if necessary (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55697" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:55697">bug 55697</a>). Manual setting of media item sizes in their dialog is nearly complete and should be available next week. If you hold down the <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">⇧ Shift</kbd> key whilst resizing an image, it will now snap to a 10 pixel grid instead of the normal free-hand sizing. The media item resize label now is centered while resizing regardless of which tool you use to resize it.</li> <li><b>Undo and redo:</b> A number of improvements were made to the transactions system which make undoing and redoing more reliable during real-time collaboration (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53224" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53224">bug 53224</a>).</li> <li><b>Save dialogue:</b> The save page was re-written to use the same code as all other dialogs (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48566" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:48566">bug 48566</a>), and in the process fixed a number of issues. The save dialog is re-accessible if it loses focus (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50722" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:50722">bug 50722</a>), or if you review a null edit (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53313" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53313">bug 53313</a>); its checkboxes for minor edit, watch the page, and flagged revisions options now layout much more cleanly (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52175" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:52175">bug 52175</a>), and the tab order of the buttons is now closer to what users will expect (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51918" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:51918">bug 51918</a>). There was a bug in the save dialog that caused it to crash if there was an error in loading the page from Parsoid, which is now fixed.</li> <li><b>Links to other articles</b> or pages sometimes sent people to invalid pages. VisualEditor now keeps track of the context in which you loaded the page, which lets us fix up links in document to point to the correct place regardless of what entry point you launched the editor from—so the content of pages loaded through <code>/wiki/Foobar?veaction=edit</code> and <code>/w/index.php?title=Foobar&veaction=edit</code> both now have text links that work if triggered (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48915" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:48915">bug 48915</a>).</li> <li><b>Toolbar links:</b> A bug that caused the toolbar's menus to get shorter or even blank when scrolled down the page in Firefox is now fixed (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55343" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:55343">bug 55343</a>).</li> <li><b>Numbered external links:</b> VisualEditor now supports Parsoid's changed representation of numbered external links (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53505" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:53505">bug 53505</a>).</li> <li><b>Removed empty templates:</b> We also fixed an issue that meant that completely empty templates became impossible to interact with inside VisualEditor, as they didn't show up (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55810" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:55810">bug 55810</a>).</li> <li><b>Mathematics formulae:</b> If you would like to try the experimental <b>LaTeX mathematics tool</b> in VisualEditor, you will need to opt-in to <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Abut_Beta_Features" class="extiw" title="mw:Abut Beta Features">Beta Features</a>. This is currently available on Meta-wiki, Wikimedia Commons, and Mediawiki.org. It will be available on all other Wikimedia sites on 21 November.</li> <li><b>Browser testing support:</b> If you are interested in technical details, the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wmf.ci.cloudbees.com/view/r-ve/">browser tests</a> were expanded to cover some basic cursor operations, which uncovered an issue in our testing framework that doesn't work with cursoring in Firefox; the Chrome tests continue to fail due to a bug with the welcome message for that part of the testing framework.</li> <li><b>Load time:</b> VisualEditor now uses content language when fetching <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TemplateData" title="Wikipedia:TemplateData">Wikipedia:TemplateData</a> information, so reducing bandwidth use, and users on multi-language or multi-script wikis now get TemplateData hinting for templates as they would expect (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50888" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:50888">bug 50888</a>).</li> <li><b>Reuse of VisualEditor:</b> Work on spinning out the user experience (UX) framework from VisualEditor into oojs-ui, which lets other teams at Wikimedia (like <a href="/wiki/Flow" class="mw-disambig" title="Flow">Flow</a>) and gadget authors re-use VisualEditor UX components, is now complete and is being moved to a shared code repository.</li> <li><b>Support for private wikis:</b> If you maintain a private wiki at home or at work, VisualEditor now supports editing of private wikis, by forwarding the Cookie: HTTP header to Parsoid (<code>$wgVisualEditorParsoidForwardCookies</code> set to true) (<a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44483" class="extiw" title="bugzilla:44483">bug 44483</a>). (Most private wikis will also need to install Parsoid and node.js, as VisualEditor requires them.)</li></ul> <p><b>Looking ahead</b>: </p> <ul><li>VisualEditor will be released to some of the <b>smaller Wikipedias on 02 December 2013</b>. If you are active at one or more smaller Wikipedias where VisualEditor is not yet generally available, please see the list at <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Rollouts" class="extiw" title="mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Rollouts">VisualEditor/Rollouts</a>.</li> <li>Public <b>office hours on <a href="/wiki/IRC" title="IRC">IRC</a> </b>to discuss VisualEditor with Product Manager James Forrester will be held on Monday, 2 December, at <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=19&min=00&sec=0&day=2&month=12&year=2013">1900 UTC</a> and on Tuesday, 3 December, at <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=01&min=00&sec=0&day=3&month=12&year=2013">0100 UTC</a>.

The current focus is on improving the<b> reference dialog</b> and expanding the <b>new character inserter tool</b>. </p><p>There have been dozens of changes since the last newsletter. Here are some of the highlights: </p> <ul><li><b>Rich copying and pasting</b> is now available. If you copy text from another website, then character formatting and some other HTML attributes are preserved. This means, for example, that if you copy a pre-formatted suggested citation from a source <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/citation.htm">like this</a>, then VisualEditor will preserve the formatting of the title in the citation. Keep in mind that copying the formatting may include formatting that you don't want (like section headings). If you want to paste plain, unformatted text onto a page, then use <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">Control</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">⇧ Shift</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">V</kbd> or <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">⌘ Command</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">⇧ Shift</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">V</kbd> (Mac).</li> <li><b>Auto-numbered external links</b> like <a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide">[1]</a> can now be edited just like any other link. However, they cannot be created in VisualEditor easily.</li> <li>Several changes to the toolbar and dialogs have been made, and more are on the way. The toolbar has been simplified with a new drop-down text styles menu and an "insert" menu. <span style="color:black;background:yellow">Your feedback on the toolbar is wanted <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Toolbar#New_toolbar,_December_2013" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Toolbar">here</a>.</span> The transclusion/template dialog has been simplified. If you have <a href="/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures" title="Special:Preferences">enabled mathematical formula editing</a>, then the menu item is now called the formula editor instead of LaTeX.</li> <li>There is a new <b>character inserter</b>, which you can find in the new "insert" menu, with a capital Omega ("Ω"). It's a very basic set of characters. <span style="color:black;background:yellow">Your feedback on the character inserter is wanted <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback">here</a>.</span></li> <li><b>Saving the page</b> should seem faster by several seconds now.</li> <li>It is now possible to access VisualEditor by manually editing the URL, even if you are not logged in or have not opted in to VisualEditor normally. To do so, append <code>?veaction=edit</code> to the end of the page name. For example, change <code><a class="external free" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random</a></code> to <code><a class="external free" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit</a></code> to open a random page in VisualEditor. This is intended to support bug testing across multiple browsers, without requiring editors to login repeatedly.</li></ul> <p><b>Looking ahead:</b> The transclusion dialog will see further changes in the coming weeks, with a simple mode for single templates and an advanced mode for more complex transclusions. The new character formatting menu on the toolbar will get an arrow to show that it is a drop-down menu. The <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Design/Reference_Dialog" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog">reference dialog</a> will be improved, and the Reference item will become a button in the main toolbar, rather than an item in the Insert menu. </p><p>If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback">Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback</a>.

and clicking on "Use an existing reference" in the lower left corner. A list of all references, their numbers, and their ref names (if any) will be shown. You can search the list for any author, title, date, or other keyword. Read <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide#Adding_an_existing_reference_to_a_new_place" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide">the user guide</a> for more information.</p></div> </div> <p>Since the last newsletter, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor">VisualEditor</a> team has worked on some small changes to the user interface, such as moving the reference item to the top of the Insert menu, as well as some minor features and fixing bugs, especially for rich copying and pasting of references. </p><p>The biggest change was the addition of more features to the <b>image dialog</b>, including the ability to set alignment (left, right, center), framing options (thumbnail, frame, frameless, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax#none" title="Wikipedia:Extended image syntax">none</a>), adding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Alternative_text_for_images" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Alternative text for images">alt text</a>, and defining the size manually. There is still some work to be done here, including a quick way to set the default size. </p> <ul><li>The main priority is redesigning the <b>reference dialog</b>, with the goal of providing autofill features for ISBNs and URLs and streamlining the process. Current concept drawings are available at <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Design/Reference_Dialog" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog">mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog</a>. <span style="color:black;background:yellow">Please share your <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:VisualEditor/Design/Reference_Dialog" class="extiw" title="mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog">ideas about making referencing quick and easy</a> with the designers. </span></li> <li>A few bugs in the existing reference dialog were fixed. The toolbar was simplified to remove galleries and lists from the reference dialog. When you re-use references, it now correctly displays the references again, rather than just the number and name. If you paste content into a dialog that can't fit there (e.g. <code>==section headings==</code> in references), it now strips out the inappropriate HTML.</li> <li>You can now edit <a href="/wiki/Help:Gallery_tag" title="Help:Gallery tag"><b>image galleries</b></a> inside VisualEditor. At this time, the gallery tool is a very limited option that gives you access to the wikitext. It will see significant improvements at a later date.</li> <li>The <b>character inserter tool</b> in the "Insert" menu is being redesigned. Your <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Feedback#Special_characters_39625" class="extiw" title="mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Feedback">feedback on the special character inserter</a> is still wanted, especially if you depend on Wikipedia's character inserters for your normal editing rather than <a href="/wiki/Help:Entering_special_characters" title="Help:Entering special characters">using the ones built into your computer</a>.</li> <li>You can now see a help page about <b>keyboard shortcuts</b> in the page menu (three bars next to the Cancel button) (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T54844" class="extiw" title="phabricator:T54844">T54844</a>).</li> <li>If you edit <b>categories</b>, your changes will now display correctly after saving the page (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T50560" class="extiw" title="phabricator:T50560">T50560</a>).</li> <li><b>Saving the page</b> should be faster now (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T61660" class="extiw" title="phabricator:T61660">T61660</a>).</li> <li>Any community can ask to test a new tool to edit <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TemplateData" title="Wikipedia:TemplateData">TemplateData</a> by leaving a note at <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T53734" class="extiw" title="phabricator:T53734">T53734</a>.</li></ul> <p><b>Looking ahead:</b> The link tool will tell you when you're linking to a disambiguation or redirect page. The warning about wikitext will hide itself after you remove the wikitext markup in that paragraph. Support for creating and editing redirects is in the pipeline. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including default and upright sizes.

this image to see the details.</figcaption></figure> <p>The template dialog has been simplified to make it faster and easier to add parameter data. Read <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide">the user guide</a> for more information.</p></div> </div> <p>Since the last newsletter, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor" title="Wikipedia:VisualEditor">VisualEditor</a> team has mostly worked on changes to the template and image dialogs. </p><p>The biggest change in the last few weeks was the <b>redesign of the template dialog</b>. The template dialog now opens in a simplified mode that lists parameters and their descriptions. (The complex multi-item transclusion mode can be reached by clicking on "Show options" from inside the simplified template dialog.) Template parameters now have a bigger, auto-sizing input box for easier editing. With today's update, searching for template parameters will become case-insensitive, and required template parameters will display an asterisk (<i>*</i>) next to their edit boxes. In addition to making it quicker and easier to see everything when you edit typical templates, this work was necessary to prepare for the <b>forthcoming simplified citation dialog</b>. The main priority in the coming weeks is building this new citation dialog, with the ultimate goal of providing autofill features for ISBNs, URLs, DOIs and other quick-fills. This will add a new button on the toolbar, with the citation templates available picked by each wiki's community. Concept drawings can be seen at <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Design/Reference_Dialog" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog">mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog</a>. <span style="color:black;background:yellow">Please share your <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Design/Reference_Dialog" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog">ideas about making referencing quick and easy</a> with the designers. </span> </p> <ul><li>The <b>link tool</b> now tells you when you're linking to a disambiguation or redirect page. Pages that exist, but are not indexed by the search engine, are treated like non-existent pages (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56361" class="extiw" title="phabricator:T56361">T56361</a>).</li> <li><b>Wikitext warnings</b> will now hide when you remove wikitext from the paragraph you are editing.</li> <li>The <b>character inserter tool</b> in the "Insert" menu has been slightly redesigned, to introduce larger buttons. Your <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Feedback#Special_characters_39625" class="extiw" title="mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Feedback">suggestions for more significant changes to the special character inserter</a> are still wanted.</li> <li>The <b>page options menu</b> (three bars, next to the Cancel button) has expanded. You can create and edit <b>redirect pages</b>, set page options like <code>__STATICREDIRECT__</code>, <code>__[NO]INDEX__</code> and <code>__</code><code>[NO]NEWEDITSECTION__</code>, and more. New keyboard shortcuts are listed there, and include undoing the last action, clearing formatting, and showing the shortcut help window. If you switch from VisualEditor to wikitext editing, your edit will now be tagged.</li> <li>It is easier to edit <b>images</b>. There are more options and they are explained better. If you add new images to pages, they will also be default size. You can now set image sizes to the default, if another size was previously specified. Full support for upright sizing systems, which more readily adapt image sizes to the reader's screen size, is planned.</li> <li>VisualEditor adds fake blank lines so you can put your cursor there. These "slugs" are now smaller than normal blank lines, and are animated to be different from actual blank lines.</li> <li>You can use the <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">Alt</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">S</kbd> or <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">⌘ Command</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">⌥ Option</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">S</kbd> <b>shortcuts to open the save window</b>, and you can preview your edit summary when checking your changes in the save window.</li> <li>After community requests, VisualEditor has been deployed to the Interlingual Occidental Wikipedia, the Portuguese Wikibooks, and the French Wikiversity.</li> <li>Any community can ask for custom icons for their language in the character formatting menu (bold, italic, etc.) by making a request on Bugzilla or by contacting Product Manager <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jdforrester_(WMF)" class="extiw" title="mediawikiwiki:User:Jdforrester (WMF)">James Forrester</a>.</li></ul> <p>The developers apologize for a regression bug with the deployment on 6 March 2014, which caused the incorrect removal of <code>|upright</code> size definitions on a handful of pages on the English Wikipedia, among others. The root cause was fixed, and the broken pages were fixed soon after. </p><p><b>Looking ahead:</b> Several template dialogs will become more compact.

The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Citation_tool" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Citation tool">VisualEditor/Citation tool</a>. </p><p>Eventually, the VisualEditor team <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cite-from-id" class="extiw" title="mw:Cite-from-id">plans to add autofill features</a> for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Design/Reference_Dialog" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog">mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog</a>, and <mark>your <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Design/Reference_Dialog" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog">ideas about making referencing quick and easy</a> are still wanted.</mark> </p> <ul><li>There is a <b>new <a href="/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures" title="Special:Preferences">Beta Feature for setting content language and direction</a></b>. This allows editors who have opted in to use the "Language" tool in the "Insert" menu to add HTML span tags that label text with the language and as being left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL), like this: <code><span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span></code>. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.</li> <li>The tool for <b>editing mathematics formulae</b> in VisualEditor has been slightly updated and is now available to all users, as the "⧼math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title⧽" item in the "Insert" menu. It uses LaTeX like in the wikitext editor.</li> <li>The <b>layout of template dialogs has been changed</b>, putting the label above the field. Parameters are now called "fields", to avoid a technical term that many editors are unfamiliar with.</li> <li><b><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Portal/TemplateData" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Portal/TemplateData">TemplateData</a> has been expanded</b>: You can now add "suggested" parameters in TemplateData, and VisualEditor will display them in the template dialogs like required ones. "Suggested" is recommended for parameters that are commonly used, but not actually required to make the template work. There is also a new type for TemplateData parameters: wiki-file-name, for file names. The template tool can now tell you if a parameter is marked as being obsolete.</li> <li>Some templates that previously displayed strangely due to absolute CSS positioning hacks should now display correctly.</li> <li>Several messages have changed: The notices shown when you save a page have been merged into those used in the wikitext editor, for consistency. The message shown when you "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cancel⧽" out of an edit is clearer. The beta dialog notice, which is shown the first time you open VisualEditor, will be hidden for logged-in users via a user preference rather than a cookie. As a result of this change, <b>the beta notice will show up one last time for all logged-in users</b> on their next VisualEditor use after Thursday's upgrade.</li> <li>Adding a category that is a <b>redirect to another category</b> prompts you to add the target category instead of the redirect.</li> <li>In the "Images and media" dialog, it is no longer possible to set a redundant border for thumbnail and framed images.</li> <li>There is a <b>new Template Documentation Editor for TemplateData</b>. You can test it by editing a documentation subpage (not a template page) at Mediawiki.org: edit <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Sandbox/doc" class="extiw" title="mw:Template:Sandbox/doc">mw:Template:Sandbox/doc</a>, and then click "Manage template documentation" above the wikitext edit box. If your community would like to use this TemplateData editor at your project, please contact product manager <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jdforrester_(WMF)" class="extiw" title="m:User:Jdforrester (WMF)">James Forrester</a> or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.</li> <li>There have been multiple small changes to the appearance: External links are shown in the same light blue color as in MediaWiki. This is a lighter shade of blue than the internal links. The styling of the "Style text" (character formatting) drop-down menu has been synchronized with the recent font changes to the Vector skin. VisualEditor dialogs, such as the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽" dialog, now use a "loading" animation of moving lines, rather than animated GIF images. Other changes were made to the appearance upon opening a page in VisualEditor which should make the transition between reading and editing be smoother.</li> <li>The developers merged in many minor fixes and improvements to MediaWiki interface integration (e.g., edit notices), and made VisualEditor handle <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Education_Program" class="extiw" title="mw:Extension:Education Program">Education Program</a> pages better.</li> <li>At the request of the community, VisualEditor has been deployed to <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/" class="extiw" title="commons:">Commons</a> as an opt-in. It is currently available by default for 161 Wikipedia language editions and by <a href="/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures" title="Special:Preferences">opt-in through Beta Features</a> at all others, as well as on several non-Wikipedia sites.</li></ul> <p><b>Looking ahead:</b> The toolbar from the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageTriage" class="extiw" title="mw:Extension:PageTriage">PageTriage extension</a> will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard. The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor. </p><p>If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Feedback" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Feedback">mw:VisualEditor/Feedback</a> or by joining the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours" class="extiw" title="meta:IRC office hours">office hours</a> on Thursday, 19 June 2014 at <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=10&min=00&sec=0&day=19&month=05&year=2014">10:00 UTC</a>.

This has increased the number of <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/TranslationCentral#Translate_the_VisualEditor_interface" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/TranslationCentral">items that need to be translated</a>. <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/User_guide" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/User guide">The user guide</a> is also being updated. </figcaption></figure> <p>The biggest visible change since the last newsletter was to the dialog boxes. <b>The design for each dialog box and window was simplified.</b> The most commonly needed buttons are now at the top. Based on user feedback, the buttons are now labeled with simple words (like "Cancel" or "Done") instead of potentially confusing icons (like "<" or "X"). Many of the buttons to edit links, images, and other items now also show the linked page, image name, or other useful information when you click on them. </p> <ul><li><b>Hidden HTML comments</b> (notes visible to editors, but not to readers) can now be read, edited, inserted, and removed. A small icon (a white exclamation mark on a dot) marks the location of each comments. You can click on the icon to see the comment.</li> <li>You can now <b>drag and drop text</b> and templates as well as images. A new placement line makes it much easier to see where you are dropping the item. Images can no longer be dropped into the middle of paragraphs.</li> <li><b>All references and footnotes (</b><code><ref></code><b> tags) are now made through the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu</b>, including the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" (manual formatting) footnotes and the ability to re-use an existing citation, both of which were previously accessible only through the "Insert" menu. The "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-referencelist-tooltip⧽" is still added via the "Insert" menu.</li> <li>When you add an image or other media file, you are now prompted to add an <b>image caption</b> immediately. You can also replace an image whilst keeping the original caption and other settings.</li> <li>All tablet users visiting the <b>mobile web</b> version of Wikipedias will be able to opt-in to a version of VisualEditor from 14 August. You can test the new tool by choosing the beta version of the mobile view in the Settings menu.</li> <li>The <b>link tool</b> has a new "Open" button that will open a linked page in another tab so you can make sure a link is the right one.</li> <li>The <b>"Cancel" button</b> in the toolbar has been removed based on user testing. To cancel any edit, you can leave the page by clicking the Read tab, the back button in your browser, or closing the browser window without saving your changes.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Looking_ahead_2" data-mw-thread-id="h-Looking_ahead_2-VisualEditor_newsletter—July_and_August_2014"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Looking_ahead_2-VisualEditor_newsletter—July_and_August_2014"></span>Looking ahead<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Looking_ahead_2-VisualEditor_newsletter—July_and_August_2014"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Blok_Glo&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Looking ahead" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>The team posts details about planned work on the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Roadmap" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Roadmap">VisualEditor roadmap</a>.

You can insert new tables, add and remove rows and columns, set or remove a caption for a table, and merge cells together. To change the contents of a cell, double-click inside it. More features will be added in the coming months. In addition, VisualEditor now ignores broken, invalid <code>rowspan</code> and <code>colspan</code> elements, instead of trying to repair them. </p><p>You can now use <b>find and replace</b> in VisualEditor, reachable through the tool menu or by pressing <kbd>⌃ Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd> or <kbd>⌘ Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd>. </p><p>You can now create and edit simple <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><blockquote></code> paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "Paragraph" into a "Block quote". </p><p>Some <b>new keyboard sequences</b> can be used to format content. At the start of the line, typing "<kbd>* </kbd> " will make the line a bullet list; "<kbd>1. </kbd> " or "<kbd># </kbd>" will make it a numbered list; "<kbd>==</kbd>" will make it a section heading; "<kbd>: </kbd>" will make it a blockquote. If you didn't mean to use these tools, you can press undo to undo the formatting change. There are also two other keyboard sequences: "<kbd>[[</kbd>" for opening the link tool, and "<kbd>{{</kbd>" for opening the template tool, to help experienced editors. The existing standard keyboard shortcuts, like <kbd>⌃ Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd> to open the link editor, still work. </p><p>If you add a category that has been redirected, then VisualEditor now adds its target. Categories without description pages show up as red. </p><p>You can again create and edit <b>galleries</b> as wikitext code. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Looking_ahead_5" data-mw-thread-id="h-Looking_ahead_5-VisualEditor_newsletter—December_2014"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Looking_ahead_5-VisualEditor_newsletter—December_2014"></span>Looking ahead<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Looking_ahead_5-VisualEditor_newsletter—December_2014"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Blok_Glo&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Looking ahead" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a <b>new theme</b> designed by the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design" class="extiw" title="mw:Design">User Experience group</a>.

Several new versions of the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOjs_UI" class="extiw" title="mw:OOjs UI">OOjs UI</a> library have also been released, and these also affect the appearance of VisualEditor and other MediaWiki software extensions. Most changes were minor, like changing the text size and the amount of white space in some windows. Buttons are consistently color-coded to indicate whether the action: </p> <ul><li>starts a new task, like opening the ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽ dialog: <span style="background-color: #015ccc; color:white"> blue </span>,</li> <li>takes a constructive action, like inserting a citation: <span style="background-color: #008c6d; color:white"> green </span>,</li> <li>might remove or lose your work, like removing a link: <span style="background-color: #a7170f; color:white"> red </span>, or</li> <li>is neutral, like opening a link in a new browser window: <span style="color: 757575"> gray</span>.</li></ul> <p>The <b>TemplateData editor</b> has been completely re-written to use a different design (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T67815" class="extiw" title="phab:T67815">T67815</a>) based on the same OOjs UI system as VisualEditor (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73746" class="extiw" title="phab:T73746">T73746</a>).

If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/citoid/" class="extiw" title="phab:tag/citoid/">Citoid project on Phabricator</a>. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki. </p><p>The <b>special character inserter</b> has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Rollouts" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts">Phase 5</a> list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including <b>Afrikaans</b>, <b>Azerbaijani</b>, <b>Breton</b>, <b>Kyrgyz</b>, <b>Macedonian</b>, <b>Mongolian</b>, <b>Tatar</b>, and<b> Welsh</b>. </p><p>Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use <a href="/wiki/Input_method_editor" class="mw-redirect" title="Input method editor">input method editors</a> ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users. </p><p>The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images#Mode_parameter" class="extiw" title="mw:Help:Images">"packed" mode in image galleries</a>. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images. </p><p>You can now <b>drag and drop categories</b> to re-arrange their order of appearance on the page. </p><p>The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item. </p><p><b>Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon</b> so they can be interacted with.

<p>Since the last newsletter, the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor">Editing Team</a> has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools, as well as fixing many bugs and changing some elements of the design. Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/changelog" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/changelog">on Mediawiki.org</a>. The worklist for April through June is available <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/sprint/board/1113/" class="extiw" title="phab:project/sprint/board/1113/">in Phabricator</a>. </p><p>A <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:VisualEditor%27s_effect_on_newly_registered_editors/May_2015_study" class="extiw" title="m:Research:VisualEditor's effect on newly registered editors/May 2015 study">test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors</a> at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase. During this test, half of newly registered editors had VisualEditor automatically enabled, and half did not. The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits. Initial <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:VisualEditor%27s_effect_on_newly_registered_editors/May_2015_study#Results" class="extiw" title="m:Research:VisualEditor's effect on newly registered editors/May 2015 study">results will be posted at Meta</a> later this month. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Recent_improvements_5" data-mw-thread-id="h-Recent_improvements_5-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Recent_improvements_5-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015"></span>Recent improvements<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Recent_improvements_5-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Blok_Glo&action=edit&section=46" title="Edit section: Recent improvements" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p><b>Auto-fill features</b> <b>for citations</b> are available at a few Wikipedias through the <b><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid" class="extiw" title="mw:Citoid">citoid service</a></b>. Citoid takes a <a href="/wiki/URL" title="URL">URL</a> or <a href="/wiki/Digital_object_identifier" title="Digital object identifier">DOI</a> for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽, ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽, or ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽). The cite button is now labeled with the word "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽", for the submit button. </p><p>The <b>link tool</b> has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and/or appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages. Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T98085" class="extiw" title="phab:T98085">T98085</a>). </p><p>The <b>special character inserter</b> in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Special_characters" class="extiw" title="mw:VisualEditor/Special characters">at mediawiki.org</a>. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70425" class="extiw" title="phab:T70425">T70425</a>). </p><p>Several improvements have been made to <b>templates</b>. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽" each time they want to add another parameter (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95696" class="extiw" title="phab:T95696">T95696</a>). The team added a <b>new property for TemplateData</b>, "Example", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T53049" class="extiw" title="phab:T53049">T53049</a>). </p><p>The <b>design</b> of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled. </p><p>The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of <b>non-existent images</b>. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Let's_work_together_3" data-mw-thread-id="h-Let's_work_together_3-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015-2015-06-06T17:31:00.000Z"><span id="Let.27s_work_together_3"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Let's_work_together_3-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015-2015-06-06T17:31:00.000Z"></span>Let's work together<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Let's_work_together_3-VisualEditor_News_#3—2015-2015-06-06T17:31:00.000Z"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Blok_Glo&action=edit&section=47" title="Edit section: Let's work together" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Whatamidoing_(WMF)-2015-06-06T17:31:00.000Z-Let's_work_together_3"></span>Share your ideas and ask questions at <a class="external text" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=VisualEditor/Feedback&lqt_method=talkpage_new_thread">mw:VisualEditor/Feedback</a>.</li> <li>The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20150609T12&p1=224&am=30">12:00 (noon) PDT</a> (19:00 UTC).

If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not.

from the "Beta" tab to <a href="/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing" title="Special:Preferences">the "Editing" section of your preferences</a> on this wiki. The setting now says <i>Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta</i>. This aligns en.wiki with almost all the other WMF wikis; it doesn’t mean the visual editor is complete, or that it is no longer “in beta phase” though. </p><p>This action has not changed anything else for editors: it still honours editors’ previous choices about having it on or off; logged-out users continue to only have access to wikitext; the “Edit” tab is still after the “Edit source” one. You can learn more at the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:VisualEditor#The_visual_editor.E2.80.99s_preference_has_moved" title="Wikipedia talk:VisualEditor">visual editor’s talk page</a>. </p><p>We don’t expect this to cause any glitches, but in case your account no longer has the settings that you want, please accept our apologies and correct it in the Editing tab of <a href="/wiki/Special:Preferences" title="Special:Preferences">Special:Preferences</a>.

(<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108620" class="extiw" title="phab:T108620">T108620</a>) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (<a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112354" class="extiw" title="phab:T112354">T112354</a>) More in-software educational features are planned. </p><p><b>Links:</b> It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it.

This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later. </p><p><b>Mobile:</b> Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets.
