Button documentation
This is about button documentation, not a bug or feature request, so I'm putting it here. Let me know if I should move it.

Several of the images seem to be out-of-date:
 * 2.3: the redirect button is now on the second line; the syntax button was moved elsewhere
 * 2.4: the first column is now gone; the two upper-right icons were changed; the icon to the left of those is now gone
 * 2.6: the 2 upper-right buttons are different
 * 2.7: in the right-had button box, the Preview and Diff buttons are no longer present

Some table rows are also out-of-date:
 * 2.3: Heading- is no longer present
 * 2.6: Scroll up and Scroll buttons are different now; Source was replaced by Diff
 * 2.7: Scroll buttons is no longer present

Can you clarify what the omega character does?

See, some of us really _do_ read (and appreciate!) the documentation. :-) Libcub (talk) 06:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

logo? what logo?
Subsection wikEd main switch, version info, and error indicator begins: No logo follows. --Thnidu (talk) 02:35, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The following wikEd logo is displayed at the top of the page next to the logout link.
 * That refers to the table below. I have edited this to make that clearer. Cacycle (talk) 14:41, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Help for Regular Expressions
The external link to documentation for JavaScript Regular expressions seems to have been moved from:


 * http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide:Regular_Expressions

to:


 * https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide/Regular_Expressions

I will make the change. Someone with good sense may want to check my work. Chris the speller (talk) 22:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * That link has gone dead again. I've replaced it with an archived copy. —Bruce1eetalk 09:47, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

links with terms
Thanks for this useful help page. The occasional term is formatted as a link (e.g. "external weblink"). I would like more of these. I know basic editing functions on Wikipedia and with conventional text editors (in-line citations, bold, underline, etc.) but links would help me learn about more that are mentioned here ("Redirect", etc.)

"Push" buttons?
Shouldn't the page say "click" the buttons? After all, that's what most other documentation says. Hobbes Novakoff (talk) 15:55, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Mentioning double edit notice
I'm unsure why you removed the double edit notice subsection from troubleshooting section in this edit, because the double edit notice still occurs. I've re-added it. You or others are welcome to revert. eπi ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 17:13, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Huh. Looking over the diff of my last edit, I have no idea how I changed the page that extensively; I just copy-pasted the one section. eπi  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 14:08, 5 May 2019 (UTC)


 * you have actually reverted all changes from the last five years! Please feel free to only add the section in question back if you think it is important. Cacycle (talk) 14:09, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, I think I see what happened: I copied the section from this version into an  old version (I wonder what version it was?), and I must have missed the the edit notice. Good catch. I'll try to do it properly this time.   eπi  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 14:17, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hopefully I did the edit correctly (of course I made sure to double-check the diff). eπi  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 14:21, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Cannot find logo in Vector (2022)
I activated this Gadget in my preferences, but I could not find the wikEd logo at top right of the page. So I followed the instructions under "Troubleshooting#widEd does not load". Still no joy. So in Preferences/Appearance I switched to Vector legacy, and then there was the icon as described, with full functionality. I then switched my preferences back to Vector (2022) and again I could not find the wikEd logo anywhere. I think that wikEd is still working, however. So, please update the instructions for Vector (2022), which is now the default. JMCHutchinson (talk) 11:17, 5 February 2023 (UTC)


 * OK, I found the solution at User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd. But the instructions here still need to be updated please. JMCHutchinson (talk) 11:35, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
