When I double click on a word in order to create a link, then the browser asks me if I want to stay on the page or leave it loosing the content that I have entered. Thanks to the browser, I don't just leave the page (unintentionally) but can click on "stay on this page". - I have just noticed that this happens to me on de.WP, but not here on the mediawiki.org-wiki. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/77.164.32.65" title="Special:Contributions/77.164.32.65">77.164.32.65</a> <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Talk_pages_project/Replying#c-77.164.32.65-20240501074100-Leaving_the_browser" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-77.164.32.65-20240501074100-Leaving_the_browser"><span id="ooui-php-5" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-77.164.32.65-20240501074100-Leaving_the_browser"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Unwanted_nowiki_tags" data-mw-thread-id="h-Unwanted_nowiki_tags-20240613182400"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Unwanted_nowiki_tags-20240613182400"></span>Unwanted nowiki tags<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Unwanted_nowiki_tags-20240613182400"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-timestampLabel'>Latest comment: <a href="#c-TheDJ-20240613195700-Card_Zero-20240613182400">5 months ago</a></span><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-commentCountLabel'>2 comments</span><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-authorCountLabel'>2 people in discussion</span></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Card_Zero-20240613182400-Unwanted_nowiki_tags"></span>Something that happens very often: I paste an external URL into square brackets and add text for the link, and the reply gizmo silently wraps the whole thing in nowiki tags, which is evident in the preview but not in the source, despite being in "source" mode. There's a noticeable pause while it does the necessary malicious processing to cause this unwanted effect. Cutting and repasting makes no difference, it's still nowiki'd, like invisible tags came with it. What does work is to delete the link, tab away in the browser, copy the URL again, tab back, ''allow the edit to reload'' (seems crucial) and paste the link all over again: with luck, I won't get nowiki tags the second time. Edit: the apparent quote marks in that sentence were supposed to be italics, but they got nowiki'd!

With the reply tool it moves the signature to a new line. Please enable that the signature can also be put into the same line somehow.

(Notice that <a href="https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Th%E1%BA%A3o_lu%E1%BA%ADn" class="extiw" title="vi:Wikipedia:Thảo luận">vi:Wikipedia:Thảo luận</a>, which is also in the Wikipedia namespace, but <em>does</em> have <code>__NEWSECTIONLINK__</code>, has the bold buttons.) I don’t know why it works this way, but maybe because signatures can also appear in policies and guidelines as examples? Also, it would likely be mostly uncontroversial to make the buttons bold everywhere by default, but the different styling of the headings and the lack of metadata (number of comments, last comment etc.) would remain. —<a href="/wiki/User:Tacsipacsi" title="User:Tacsipacsi">Tacsipacsi</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Tacsipacsi" title="User talk:Tacsipacsi">talk</a>) <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Talk_pages_project/Replying#c-Tacsipacsi-20240928204600-Bluetpp-20240928094700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:46, 28 September 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Tacsipacsi-20240928204600-Bluetpp-20240928094700"><span id="ooui-php-13" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Tacsipacsi-20240928204600-Bluetpp-20240928094700"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Feedback_on_reply_interface" data-mw-thread-id="h-Feedback_on_reply_interface-20241002052000"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Feedback_on_reply_interface-20241002052000"></span>Feedback on reply interface<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Feedback_on_reply_interface-20241002052000"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-timestampLabel'>Latest comment: <a href="#c-Daniel_Quinlan-20241002052000-Feedback_on_reply_interface">1 month ago</a></span><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-commentCountLabel'>1 comment</span><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-authorCountLabel'>1 person in discussion</span></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Daniel_Quinlan-20241002052000-Feedback_on_reply_interface"></span>There's a bit too much going on with the reply widget for experienced editors. </p> <ul><li>I wish there was a preference to only use the source editor and not display the headerWrapper.</li> <li>I don't think the advanced toggle is necessary, or at least I wish the toggle could be disabled to always leave the advanced controls open.
