faqqin a. FCKeditor is a great editor, though i wish it would change its name.

i wish its name didn't make everyone to which i show it think of and ask about its name's similarity with the english word "fuck."

but what can you do? roll with it, i guess.

i'm somewhat surprised to find this article both so slim and without any sort of notice posted in the vein of challenging its validity vs posting it as a candidate for deletion.

this editor is both good enough and popular/well-used enough to justify more than its current presence on Wikipedia. note to self.

 * I'm Frederico Caldeira Knabben. When I've created the editor, I have simply used my initials on its name because I was used to write code and mark comments and even temporary vars with then (FCK).


 * The project is 3 years old, and, as you've commented, it is quite popular. Just "google" it and you will see the results. So, it is quite difficult to make name changes now.


 * For the article itself... I think it is valid as it is a popular software. I'm aware that its contents must be enhanced, and I will work on it. The fact is that I don't know how to precisely propose it for Wikipedia to be under its quality standards, and to provide useful information. I hope the community will be able to help on it in some way (that was my intention when starting it).


 * So was it renamed to sound less the like F-bomb, or for some other reason? 50.242.233.246 (talk) 19:22, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

How can anyone claim that FCKeditor is WYSIWYG ?
Well one more time I'm disappointed. I have an "Arial"-text, where somewhere in the HTML-Source Code is some unwanted "Times New Roman". I copy this into FCKeditor http://www.fckeditor.net/demo, where I again see only "Arial" like I want it to be. To be sure I mark all and select "Arial" again. Problem 1: I see that despite this some lines are still not marked explicitly Arial. So I select every line seperately an select "Arial". I click on "Submit" to receive the clean-up HTML-code, where there should be no "Times New Roman" at all. Well you can try yourself and get angry yourself. FCKeditor is really not WYSIWYG. In the end again you are trying to scroll through HTML-code searching for markers liek /span are whatever. I hate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.2.248.2 (talk) 12:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Why not in Wikipedia?
Why is a version of this not in Wikipedia? That would at least to make rendering tables much easier. At the moment even making simple tables in MedaiWiki is difficult - harder if you want to do formating (especially if you have formating per cell). --Robinson weijman (talk) 18:59, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You can create tables using HTML:


 * Per cell formatting is easier with HTML tables than it is with those wikitables. Personally, I'm against adding WYSIWYG editing to Wikipedia. Wikia's "rich text" editor is crap. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 19:09, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks - I know you can create tables in MediaWiki - it's just a pain! CKEditor is much better - you can even paste directly from Excel.  I don't know if CKEditor is the same as Wikia - but (almost) anything is better than the current setup.  --Robinson weijman (talk) 19:34, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It really is very peculiar that Wikipedia doesn't have any kind of WYSIWYG editing installed - even more so given that it uses its own idiosyncratic style of pseudo-markup. --Oolong (talk) 19:05, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, right! Is anyone from Wikipedia / Mediawiki taking notice?  --Robinson weijman (talk) 19:21, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course they listen, but WYSIWYG editors have been proposed for MediaWiki for years. Most of the developers at MediaWiki agree that WYSIWYG editors sucks when it comes to wiki editing, so they decided not to include WYSIWYG in the default MediaWiki configuration. Nevertheless, there are plenty of extensions for MediaWiki that would allow for WYSIWYG editing. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 19:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Why do WYSIWYG editors suck? I disagree.  Sure, they have their own limitations, but MediaWiki's default table creation mechanism sucks more! --Robinson weijman (talk) 11:18, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Issue with Logo
I've just uploaded a new logo to show in the infobox. It's not showing properly when I set its size (250px). Can anyone try to fix it?

I can't find a reason for that, as everything looks fine with the updated file: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CKEditor.png. --FredCK (talk) 14:51, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles
Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

Collaboration...
If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

Where to list JavaScript articles
We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

User scripts
The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!

If you have need for a user script that does not yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention
If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.

Rating JavaScript articles
At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.

Thank you. The Transhumanist 01:06, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
