I apologize for writing in English. Please translate this message so that all of your editors can read it. Thank you!
Hi everybody, my name is Erica, and I am a Community Liaison at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm writing to you because the
Editing team at WMF
wants to know what you think about
VisualEditor
and its new
⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽
tool. This change will affect all users on
about 50 Wikipedias
, including your Wikipedia. Many editors at these Wikipedias need a special character tool to be able to write articles correctly, which is why we are asking you now.
The new special character inserter tool is available in VisualEditor now. Admins at your wiki can change the contents by following
the directions at mediawiki.org
New design for the special character inserter. The red arrow points to the button for the tool, which is marked with Ω (omega).
To test the
⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽
tool
, please:
Opt-in to VisualEditor
by going to
Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures
and choosing "
Vizual redaktor
". Save your preferences.
Edit any article or your user page
in VisualEditor by clicking on the new "
Redaktə
" tab at the top of the page. See the
mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide
for information on how to use VisualEditor.
Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested
at
the feedback thread on Mediawiki.org
. The developers would like to know what you think about this new design. It is important that they hear from as many editors as possible. You may leave your comments in any language.
When the special character tool has been refined a little more based on your thoughts, we will offer VisualEditor by default to all editors at
this
wiki. If you want to help prepare, please read
the advice on mediawiki.org
Thank you,
Elitre (WMF)

Hello again. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you can translate this message!
VisualEditor
is coming to all editors at this Wikipedia on Monday, March 30th.
Vizual redaktor
is software that allows people to edit articles without needing to learn wikitext code (like typing
[[
to start a link). You don't have to wait until the deployment to test it;
you can test
Vizual redaktor
right now.
To turn it on, select
"Beta"
in your preferences. Choose "
Vizual redaktor
" and click save.
Now, when you press the "
Redaktə
" button to edit an article, you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press "
Vikimətni redaktə et
". (After the deployment, everyone will automatically have the option to use either VisualEditor or the current wikitext editor.) For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see
mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide
More information about
preparing for VisualEditor is posted here
It's easier to add templates if you've added
TemplateData
instructions to them.
Please help translate the pages about VisualEditor here and on MediaWiki.org, and its user interface. See
VisualEditor TranslationCentral
for general information. To translate the user guide, go to
the MediaWiki.org page
, and select "
Bu səhifəni tərcümə et
". Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've done this, you'll see the document in English side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or change old translations. To translate the user interface, you need to create an account at translatewiki.net. Contact me personally if you need help with that.
We need your help to improve the software! Please let us know if you find any problems. You can report issues in
Phabricator, the new bug tracking system
or on the
central feedback page
on MediaWiki.org. If you notice major issues affecting your project, please leave a note on my talk page. If it's an emergency (like an unexpected bug causing widespread problems), reach out to James Forrester, the Product Manager, at jforrester@wikimedia.org or on
IRC
in the #mediawiki-visualeditor channel.

User Guide
Hello again (and again, apologies for using English on this page. Please do translate my message, if you can!).
As some of you have noticed,
this Wikipedia now has
Vizual redaktor
(VisualEditor or "VE") enabled for all users
. There are now two tabs for editing: "
Redaktə
" and "
Vikimətni redaktə et
". Click "
Redaktə
" to use VisualEditor. Click "
Vikimətni redaktə et
" to edit using wikitext markup.
All edits using VisualEditor will be tagged with "Tag:
Vizual redaktor
" in recent changes, watchlists, and page histories. To access the
User Guide for VisualEditor
, click on the "(?)" icon in VisualEditor's toolbar. If you wish to disable VisualEditor, this can be done under
"Editing" in your preferences
Please report any software "bugs" or errors you find at
MediaWiki’s VisualEditor Feedback page
. Translations for the user interface and its help guide are still needed: you can
learn how to support your community with this and other tasks at
this instructions page
. Please contact me if you need further help though. Happy editing,

With
Citoid
in VisualEditor, you click the 'book with bookmark' icon and paste in the URL for a reliable source:
Citoid looks up the source for you and returns the citation results. Click the green "Insert" button to accept its results and add them to the article:
After inserting the citation, you can change it. Select the reference, and click the "Edit" button in the context menu to make changes.
The user guide
has more information about how to use VisualEditor.
Since the last newsletter, the
Editing Team
has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the
Citoid
reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted
on Mediawiki.org
. The worklist for April through June is available

VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and
network speed
by almost 40%.
The Editing team is slowly adding
auto-fill features
for citations
. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The
Citoid service
takes a
URL
or
DOI
for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for
ISBNs
PMIDs
, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.
Citoid requires good
TemplateData
for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the
Citoid project on Phabricator
. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
The
special character inserter
has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the
Phase 5
list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including
Afrikaans
Azerbaijani
Breton
Kyrgyz
Macedonian
Mongolian
Tatar
, and
Welsh
Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use
input method editors
("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.
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
"packed" mode in image galleries
. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.
You can now
drag and drop categories
to re-arrange their order of appearance ​on the page.
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.
Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon
so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.
Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (

Gələcək planları
vikimətni redaktə et
The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted
at mediawiki.org
The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (

When you click on a link to an article, you now see more information:
The link tool has been re-designed:
There are separate tabs for linking to internal and external pages.
The user guide
has more information about how to use VisualEditor.
Since the last newsletter, the
Editing Team
has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools and fixed many bugs and changed some elements of the design. Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted
on mediawiki.org
. The worklist for April through June is available
in Phabricator
test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors
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
results will be posted at Meta
later this month.

Auto-fill features
for citations
are available at a few Wikipedias through the
citoid service
. Citoid takes a
URL
or
DOI
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.
The
link tool
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 appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). 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. (
T98085
The
special character inserter
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
at mediawiki.org
. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (
T70425
Several improvements have been made to
templates
. 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. (
T95696
) The team added a
new property for TemplateData
, "
Nümunə
", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (
T53049
The
design
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.
The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of
non-existent images
. 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.

For
interface messages
(translated at
translatewiki.net
), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (
+21.7%
). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).
For
documentation messages
(on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (
+20.3%
). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).
We published some graphs
showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.

Auto-fill features for citations
can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the
citoid service
to convert a
URL
or
DOI
into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick,
simple process at mediawiki.org
. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
Your wiki can customize the first section of the
special character inserter
in VisualEditor. Please follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
to put the characters you want at the top.
In other changes, if you need to fill in a
CAPTCHA
and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit
Vega-based graphs
. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
Future changes
vikimətni redaktə et
The team will be changing the
appearance of selected links
inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. 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. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A
recent controlled trial
showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the
July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase
. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.

Educational features:
The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the
Keçid
and
⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽
tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (
T108620
) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (
T112354
) More in-software educational features are planned.
Links:
It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (
T74108
T91285
) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (
T109498
T110347
T63558
) These
"magic links"
use a custom link editing tool.
Uploads:
Registered editors can now
upload images
and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "
Əlavə et
Şəkillər və media
" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. 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.
Mobile:
Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (
T85630
) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (
T111894
) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "
Sil
" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (
T62110
) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.
Rich editing tools:
You can now add and edit
sheet
music
in the visual editor. (
T112925
) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (
T114227
T113354
) When editing
formulæ
and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of
graphs
; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.
On the
English Wikipedia
, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under
Special:Preferences

A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button. Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.
If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to
Special:Preferences
and choosing the setting that you want:
The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently.

The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the
mobile site
. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:
Section editing
The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
The team studied this with an A/B test.
This test showed
that contributors who could use section editing were
1% more likely to publish
the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
Loading overlay
The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.
Section editing and the new loading overlay are
now available to everyone
using the mobile visual editor.

The new features include a toolbar.
What do you think should be in the toolbar?
This issue of the
Editing
newsletter includes information the
Talk pages project
, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.
Reply tool
: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature is called "
Müzakirə alətləri
". The Beta Feature will get
new features
soon. The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing
. You can
test the new features
on the
Beta Cluster
now. Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months.
New requirements for user signatures
: Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in
Special:Preferences
. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
New discussion tool
: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can
see the initial design on the project page
Research on the use of talk pages
: The Editing team worked with the
Wikimedia research team
to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

Seven years ago this month, the
Editing team
offered the visual editor to most Wikipedia editors. Since then, editors have achieved many milestones:
More than
50 million edits
have been made using the visual editor on desktop.
More than
2 million new articles
have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019.
The visual editor is
increasingly popular
. The proportion of all edits made using the visual editor has increased every year since its introduction.
In 2019,
35% of the edits by newcomers
(logged-in editors with ≤99 edits) used the visual editor. This percentage has
increased every year
Almost
5 million edits on the mobile site
have been made with the visual editor. Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the
mobile visual editor
in 2018.
On 17 November 2019, the
first edit from outer space
was made in the mobile visual editor. 🚀 👩‍🚀
Editors have made more than
7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor
, including starting
600,000 new articles

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (
Source
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of
the Reply Tool
. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped
newer editors
communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were
more likely
to post a comment on a talk page.
The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also
less likely
to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to
resolve a technical challenge
. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the
Wikipedias that participated in the study
. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "
Müzakirə alətləri
in Beta Features
now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in
