Mountaineers JC (talk) 04:27, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Mountaineers JC, is this a recent problem? The servers are unhappy right now. You might try again in an hour or two. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Parameters being added by default?

Hi there, I wish I had more examples of this, but I keep seeing, in BLP articles, blank |death_date= and |death_place= parameters being added by default (I assume) by the Visual Editor. An example here. Is this by design? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:45, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb, those parameters are added because someone marked them as either "suggested" or "required" in the template's TemplateData. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:57, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): Hi there, I appreciate the explanation. Do we need these parameters added by default to every biographical article? They could be there unused anywhere from 0-100 years. Seems unnecessary unless a person dies. Should I ask elsewhere? I'm not a big fan of VisualEditor making AWB-like actions on the backs of unsuspecting novice editors and I've reported similar issues before. Thanks and regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:20, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

That decision is entire under the control of local editors. Edit Template:Infobox person/doc#TemplateData if you want to change it. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 06:30, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): Thanks kindly. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

The numbering for the citations on this page should be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., but instead it's displayed as 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, etc.. The first "2" is cited in a block quote, so perhaps it's being "ignored" by the VisualEditor's counter for that reason.

IanFreebern (talk) 00:47, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Ian, this page is for feedback on the Visual Editor (VE) and New Wikitext Editor (NWE), though "leave feedback on this software" mightn't be clear in that regard. The best forum for questions like yours would be the Wikipedia:Teahouse, but I can answer here. Page titles are different from other headings in articles: changing them involves "moving" the page to a new name. Urbanisation rather than urbanization is the correct spelling outside USA, so that spelling change wouldn't be supported by the community. (I blame Noah Webster.) We do have guidelines about when to use US English versus British/Commonwealth English; sorry I don't have the relevant links handy. We do have a redirect from the alternate spelling Urbanization in India. Thanks for your interest in helping to improve spelling on Wikipedia, I'm sure you'll find plenty of other spelling and grammar issues to fix! Please reply about whether you found this answer satisfactory. — Pelagic ( messages ) Z – (08:03 Sat 23, AEST) 22:03, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Table won't add row below or delete row

Bug report	VisualEditor

Intention:	Add a row below an existing row or delete row
Steps to Reproduce:	1.

Try to add row under lowest row 3. Also try deleting bottom row IDK how reproducible this is - it sometimes happens, sometimes doesn't.
Results:	Literally can't add row beneath, or delete bottom row. Can only add rows above

3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 20:04, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, 3family6, thanks for the detailed error report. I tried your example and confirm the behaviour (iOS Safari, both Vector and Timeless). I also couldn't insert columns in this case. If I remove scope="col" rowspan="2" from all cells, then things return to normal. After adding back the rowspan on just one cell, it still seems okay. Have you seen this in other situations, or is it possibly isolated to cases where all cells in a row have rowspan? (I'm not a dev, just another Wikipedian.) Pelagic ( messages ) Z – (09:28 Sat 23, AEST) 23:28, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

This article has an error in the tables. It fails to include the number of voters who were "Don't know" or "Refused to answer". For the latest 1 News poll this was a massive 16%, so must be shown in the results table.

Hi, Tsla1337 / 1.Ayana! There are two entry points to Visual Editor (that I know of) that are disabled for IP editors on English Wikipedia:

Dual edit tabs for Edit source and Edit [visual].
Switching edit mode with the pencil icon.

(Actually, I didn't realise before now that the second one was unavailable for IPs)

French Wikipédia has both, Japanese has single edit tab (wikitext) but you can switch. Enabling the switcher might be a proposal for Wikipedia:Village Pump.

Table editing that actually works

I tried to find the answer to this but wasn't sure where to find it, or if there is one: Is there an estimate on how much longer it will be before Visual Editor can actually, properly work for table editing? I don't even mean bug free, but usable to the point where it's quicker and easier than markup editing. Example: How on earth do I create the following in VE?

List of extended plays, with selected chart positions
Title	Released	Label	Chart positions
Title	Released	Label	US Gospel	US Christ	US Rap
Church Clothes	May 10, 2012	Reach	10	10	75

Until that is doable, VE is next to useless in creating discography articles or new sections in discography articles. I've spent probably three hours at this point trying to figure it out, because I want to learn, but it's getting extremely aggravating and frustrating.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 19:45, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. You can ping me when you have questions. This edit shows me adding a table like this one. You click in the empty places to add your content, select multiple cells when you want to merge them for rowspan and colspans. To set the background formatting, you go to the dropdown menu in the toolbar that usually says "Paragraph", and select either "content cell" (plain) or "header cell" (bold text and gray background).

Changing reference to different type

URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isola_delle_Femmine?action=edit I have only been editing in Visual mode. I have three references that have been flagged as circular as they reference other Wikipedia pages. I can change those three references to underlying references but I cannot change the type of reference, i.e. the template from a web citing to a book citing. I thought to delete the three and add new ones be again, I see no instructions to delete a reference.

One last question, in the READ mode the circular references have one set of numbers but in edit mode the reference numbers change with the circular tag. I guess I change what is flagged as circular even though the reference number is different?

How do I remove Edit summary history?

I want to remove previously entered edit summaries that the visual editor remembers (which is entered in the pop up after you press the blue "Publish changes" button. Where do I delete the previous edit summaries that are visible in the dropdown on the editing box? The help section has nothing on it, nor the help editing community central at Fandom. Outside the visual editor I can delete those by simply pressing delete (or swiping them away on mobile presumably). I wasn't able to do this from within the Visual Editor. --Loginnigol (talk) 08:41, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Shortcuts not mentioned on the Keyboard shortcuts page

I came to the page Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Keyboard_shortcuts to see a full list of keyboard shortcuts available in VisualEditor. Especially the uncommon ones; the others (such as Ctrl+C) are more generally known and thus less important to mention on that page.

But I can see that not all keyboard shortcuts are mentioned. For instance, typing <ref will open an "Add a citation" dialog, and typing {{ will open an "Add a template" dialog. These are not mentioned. I came here to see other shortcuts like these. And I believe the primary place to place information about keyboard shortcuts would be on the page for keyboard shortcuts. Could someone who knows all the shortcuts add them to the page (or at least tell me where the list is so I can add them)? I only discover them by chance/accident with a few years in between, but I would like to actually see the entire list. --Jhertel (talk) 13:42, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Cannot change title which is inaccurate & therefore misleading

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.116 Safari/537.36

URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabel_May?action=edit Here is the issue with the title: The title of this article needs to be changed to Henrietta Mabel May because:

1) the woman's name was not simply Mabel May but Henrietta Mabel May (indeed, per a biographer, Evelyn Walters, her nickname was "Henry"),

2) May's life overlapped with that of an American painter named Mabel May Woodward (1877-1945). Contemporaries in the art world may have similar palettes, styles, & subject matter, as is the case with these two painters. In fact, the two paintings this article links to are actually & inaccurately those of the American artist Mabel May Woodward, not the Canadian artist Henrietta Mabel May, so you can see why it's important to distinguish between the names as much & as accurately as possible.

I am explaining why this change needs to be made instead of simply making it because this editing mechanism does not allow me to make such a change. I am guessing that's because not just the title but the file itself has to be changed to change the title. & if you change the file name, you probably will break some links, unless you have some kind of aliasing mechanism to help out. Nonetheless, in the interests of accuracy & to avoid the kinds of mistakes already made, I encourage whoever is empowered to do this to undertake the work required.

You could cut and paste the text from the edit window into notepad or similar text editor. You might need to switch to the old text editor. To be able to do this.

There is a chance that your edit session has expired. You get this if there is a long time between the time you first stated the edit and the time when you eventually try to publish. I get this with the text editor, and its normally cured by just pressing submit again. In VE try switching to the normal text editor.

Editing news 2020 #4

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this newsletter

Reply tool

The Reply tool has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results.

More than 300 editors used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias. They posted more than 7,400 replies during the study period.
Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times. About 60% of them used it on multiple days.
Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive. One said, أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة. ("I think the tool has a significant impact; it saves time to reply while the classic way is to move with a mouse to the Edit link to edit the section or the page which is generally far away from the comment. And the user reaches to the edit box so quickly to use the Reply tool.")[3]

The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF).

The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to customize the edit summary. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to set its own preferred symbol for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.

New requirements for user signatures

The new requirements for custom user signatures began on 6 July 2020. If you try to create a custom signature that does not meet the requirements, you will get an error message.
Existing custom signatures that do not meet the new requirements will be unaffected temporarily. Eventually, all custom signatures will need to meet the new requirements. You can check your signature and see lists of active editors whose custom signatures need to be corrected. Volunteers have been contacting editors who need to change their custom signatures. If you need to change your custom signature, then please read the help page.

Next: New discussion tool

Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

Messing up onlyinclude tags

Hello. I've noticed that visual editor automatically inserts carriage returns between onlyinclude tags and any table or template the tags are used around (see e.g. this or this). This has the effect of creating whitespace on the page the pages the templates/tables are transcluded on. Can this be fixed? Cheers, Number 5 7 16:09, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Its rare for <onlyinclude>...</onlyinclude> tags to appear in the main article namespace as they only apply when the page is transcluded. These are normally found in the template namespace where transclusion is common, but visual editor is not enabled. Really we are trying to get visual editor to do a task it was not designed for. You could try filling a bug at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ but I would not be optimistic about getting it fixed. A better solution might be to move the common text to the template namespace. This would prevent the Visual Editor from messing things up.--Salix alba (talk): 18:41, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

The page looks like it might be self promotion and might not meet the notability standards for an article in the main encyclopedia, see WP:COISELF and WP:ORG. As such you should submit the article to the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process, and if an independent editor finds its notable enough they will move it to article space. To do this add the template {{subst:submit}} to the top of your article. You will need to do this using the normal editor and not the visual editor. --Salix alba (talk): 09:02, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Edit to table looks fine in VE, in actuality it breaks the wiki markup

Bug report	VisualEditor
Mito.money	Please app{}
Intention:	Update the information about political party affiliation in Berkshire County
Steps to Reproduce:	I tried to make the edit in VE. I updated the numbers and added another row for the Green-Rainbow Party.
Results:	A pipe was added before the template which renders the party colors for each respective party. The addition of this pipe breaks the syntax. Compare the provided diffs. The problem is, editing in VE will not reveal this problem, the colors still render fine. It's only in the markup editor preview window, or after the edit is submitted, that you see that the template is broken by the addition of a pipe. As far as I can tell, the pipe is added automatically and you must make an edit in the source markup to avoid this. I will also note that centering the text is not obvious. Simply adding a new column or row will not duplicate the existing formatting of the other columns and rows.
Expectations:	What were your expectations instead?
Page where the issue occurs	https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Berkshire_County,_Massachusetts&oldid=979977409 ; https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Berkshire_County,_Massachusetts&oldid=979979509 ; and original before my edits: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Berkshire_County,_Massachusetts&oldid=969012370
Web browser	Chrome 85.0.4183.102
Operating system	Windows 10
Skin	Vector
Notes:	Any additional information. Can you provide a screenshot, if relevant?
Workaround or suggested solution	Easily fixed in the source editor once you figure out what changed (which I did by comparing diffs in the source editor)

He was not killed in Jasper, Tx. Only the trial was there, as it is the county seat. He was murdered near the Harrisburg, TX community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C5:4300:7280:A845:6546:6422:C8FC (talk) 15:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Shortcut suggestion

I use Mac. I regularly use Command + Enter as the shortcut for publishing an edit after writing an edit summary, and find it really useful. Having burnt that pattern into my brain, I now routinely press it while editing a page in VE, expecting it to take me to the edit summary box, and am disappointed that it doesn't work. I would find this a useful shortcut while editing pages. Popcornfud (talk) 16:14, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Humbly requesting this again, as I continue to press Cammand + Enter automatically when trying to save edits. Popcornfud (talk) 16:23, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Visual editor and blockquotes

Why does the Visual Editor screw around with the text before blockquotes?

For example, while editing in the Visual Editor, go to Adaptation (film), go to the Production section, and select the text above the blockquote ("Kaufman said"). The text is uneditable, and has to be edited instead inside the quote template, in the "content" field. This is apparently not a normal part of the quote template; the Visual Editor appears to be injecting something weird into it.

Does anyone know what's going on here? It's been annoying me for months or years now. Popcornfud (talk) 10:59, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Include date attribute, etc., in inserted citation

The dialog for inserting a citation has a short menu of attributes that includes year but does not include date, making it necessary to use the search dialog. I have two suggestions:

Provide an option to do a source edit of the generated {{cite}}
Include all of |date= |edition=, |publisher= and |work= in the short list.

Keyboard Shortcut for merging and splitting table cells

One problem I have is to operate splits/mergers of whole columns. The process cannot be automated, and one has to split or merge every column's cells one by one.

It is still possible to resort to an external automation program. However, there is no keyboard shortcut for 'merge cells' or 'split cell'.

Either one of the two should be done, and for programmers, it seems a shortcut is by far the easiest to implement.

I recommend adding a preview button or menu option, for both visual editing and source editing (2017 editor). If the button already exists, consider making it more prominent, because I can't find it.

Changing case

A facility that I have found very useful in other editors is changing case, e.g.,

Change to lower case
Change to upper case
Change to sentence case
Change to title case
Invert case

I'd like to see icons and keystrokes for at least those. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 14:54, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

I've been editing this page. When I returned to this page I got a message asking if I want to resume editting. I confirmed that I want but no page came up, so I restarted the sandbox. It was empty. There was history of previous deletions or transfers but not any mention of my last edit. Looks like the contents is lost. Why?
