voice

Hi Johnny, at 1:19, it's a normal voice or a falsetto? Fête Phung (talk) 03:08, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It is at the boundary between the two, as it is a high note.  Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 03:15, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It's in C5. Fête Phung (talk) 03:19, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * That is at the top range for tenors. See the image to the right: Tenor voice range on keyboard.svg

Hi Johnny, at 4:02, it's in E♭ major or in E♭ minor? Fête Phung (talk) 03:28, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

E♭ major ? Fête Phung (talk) 16:57, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The first half of the arpeggio is minor and the second half is major, so it is actually both.  Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 17:24, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Where is the minor key? Fête Phung (talk) 01:33, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It is subtle and is at 4:02 and the major key is a few seconds after that.  Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 04:04, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Johnny, this is a male voice or a female voice? Fête Phung (talk) 02:24, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Johnny, as far as I know, this is a male singer, but he has a unisex voice? Fête Phung (talk) 23:46, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Definitely male, as he is a tenor. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:48, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * When you were listening his voice, you were sure that he is a man? Fête Phung (talk) 02:53, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes. I am very certain. In fact, he sounds like a tenor and thus is a tenor, albeit at a high range for a tenor. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:54, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Quebec accent

 * France: [[File:Fr-hiver-fr FR-Paris.ogg]]
 * Quebec: [[File:FR-Hiver (Gaspésie).ogg]]

Hi Johnny, the French pronunciation is [ivɛːʁ], and the Quebec pronunciation is [iveɪʁ̥], have you heard the difference? Fête Phung (talk) 01:58, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:13, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The Quebec pronunciation is definitely not . They sound almost the same, maybe the Quebec vowel is a bit higher. Martin sv 85 (talk) 08:30, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You should message Fête Phung about this. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 15:48, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks. Martin sv 85 (talk) 15:56, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It's [iveːʁ̥] or [iveɪ̯ʁ̥]. Fête Phung (talk) 21:59, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Neither of these, and most definitely not a closing diphthong . It's, a close-mid front unrounded vowel, which in broad transcription can be transcribed as , with no diacritics. Martin sv 85 (talk) 22:09, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

 * You really make the difference? Fête Phung (talk) 02:24, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes. The circumflex serves dual purpose: it lengthens the vowel and it is an etymological reminder that there used to be an "s" following the letter.  Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 15:17, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Do you want one Edit tab or two? It's your choice
The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.

You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.

There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at the VisualEditor feedback page.

Help me understand Twitter policy (re Line 4 Rocket)
Hi. Line 4 Sheppard said the Rocket trains were coming summer 2016.

Brad Ross, Executive Director, Corporate Communications, for the TTC, on his verified Twitter account, announced that they had started.

This isn't Brad Ross talking about Brad Ross, this is Brad Ross in his official capacity as spokesman for the TTC, talking about the TTC.

So I added the date and the reference.

Now there are better references, such as http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/sheppard-subway-line-gets-new-toronto-rocket-trains-1.3607811

But I'm curious why Twitter wasn't appropriate at the time?

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobagem (talk • contribs) 03:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The CBC link is acceptable. Twitter is not. Read here: WP:TWITTER. Though Ross is speaking at an official capacity and having the authority to do so, third-party publications (as secondary sources) prevail over primary sources anyways per WP:OR, thus the CBC link is to be used instead.

Did you know?

It's quick and easy to insert a references list.

Place the cursor where you want to display the references list (usually at the bottom of the page). Open the "" menu and click the "" icon (three books).

If you are using several groups of references, which is relatively rare, you will have the opportunity to specify the group. If you do that, then only the references that belong to the specified group will be displayed in this list of references.

Finally, click "" in the dialog to insert the. This list will change as you add more footnotes to the page.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.

Recent changes
The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.

The single edit tab feature combines the "" and "" tabs into a single "" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.

Future changes
The "" button will say "". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.

The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966)

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

Let's work together
If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready.
 * Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor?  Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.
 * Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Watch the Tech Talk by Sebastian Karcher for more information.

Hello Johnny Au:

The edit I made to the article Toronto regarding the nickname "The 6" was found to be un-constructive.

I'm happy that the listing has "The six" as a current nickname.

I'm curious as to why you found that it wasn't constructive in April 2015.

Novice editor, Thanks

Many monkeys (talk) 06:05, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * It was considered un-constructive back then, but is now acceptable, since there are reliable sources that document the term "The Six." <font face="Old English Text MT"> Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 16:45, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

WP:NOTBROKEN
Hi. I saw several of your edits such as and  to Verifiability from a couple weeks ago. At the time I didn't think much of it, but I was reading R from plural which mentions WP:NOTBROKEN and I was reminded of your edits. Technically these changes are against editing guidelines. I often think these kinds of edits are beneficial, but since you might make a lot of them I wanted to make sure you were aware of this guideline. Cheers, Jason Quinn (talk) 15:29, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Mention of block lengths
That template (and others) omit block lengths on purpose so the current vandal doesn't have an easy way to know when they can start vandalizing again. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 16:14, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Did you know?

Did you know that you can easily re-arrange columns and rows in the visual editor?



Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move. Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown). Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.

Recent changes

 * You can now set text as small or big.
 * Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon. Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.  A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.
 * Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page. If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.
 * At many wikis, you can now add maps to pages. Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department are adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more on MediaWiki.org.
 * The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page. In the future, the "" button will say "".  This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems.  More information is available on Meta.
 * Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing. You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image.  Use the "Options" tab to set the gallery's display mode, image sizes, and add a title for the gallery.

Future changes
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

Let's work together
Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce. If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations!

Ways to improve Vincent Yard
Hi, I'm CaroleHenson. Johnny Au, thanks for creating Keele Yard!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I know it's been awhile since you created this article, but do you have references, by chance for this article?

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. CaroleHenson (talk) 02:42, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I did not create that article as an article. I created it as a redirect. <font face="Old English Text MT"> Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 03:07, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
Hi, WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge for the UK, which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in five weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian Wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)


 * That would be quite a challenge, especially given that there aren't that many active Canadian Wikipedians, as many of them quit for various reasons. <font face="Old English Text MT"> Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 14:17, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Toronto
Hi Johnny! I am trying to improve the Toronto article. Do you know where I could find some good references for the sections that are unreferenced? I can only seem to find info on blogs and other "unreliable" sources. Thanks, Jith12 (talk) 22:16, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You could try the following:


 * Toronto to 1918: An Illustrated History (1984) by J. M. S. Careless
 * Toronto since 1918: An Illustrated History (1984) by James Lemon

I have both of these books; they're excellent for finding stuff about the history of Toronto.

You could also visit the Toronto Reference Library as well. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 02:14, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I went to the Toronto Reference Library and it is very helpful. It has stuff about Toronto's history as well. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 00:32, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The City of Toronto Archives on Spadina Road between Casa Loma and Dupont station is also a good place to visit as well. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 03:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Translate an article
Hello there, I'm Info2Learn, and I realized that the pages 2016 Canadian census and 1996 Canadian census has no French version of it. I'm asking you because I saw that you know some French and I thought you could do it. If you don't want to, that's fine, but don't forget to notify me either way so that I don't accidentally annoy you to do it. Info2Learn (talk) 21:35, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * My French writing skills aren't good enough for the task unfortunately. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 00:22, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, there's now a French version for the 2016 census but not for the 1996 census. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 03:17, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Someone could create the 1996 census article in French. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 03:12, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, and don't use Google Translate. It's very inaccurate in most cases. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 03:11, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Useddenim recommends that I request an administrator to block as per the last remark in Talk:Toronto streetcar system. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 01:37, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

<div style="float:right;width:230px;margin-left:1em;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;padding:1em;"> Did you know?

Did you know that you can review your changes visually?

When you are finished editing the page, type your edit summary and then choose "".

In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.



Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.



The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes
A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences to enable the.

A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components.&#8288;

The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The  block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki.&#8288;

Other changes:
 * You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use + +  or  + +  to trigger this.&#8288;
 * The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow.&#8288;
 * The item has been moved to the top of the  menu (from clicking on the VisualEditor - Icon - Menu.svg icon) for quicker access.&#8288; There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there.&#8288;
 * You can now create  tags (sometimes used as  ) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor.&#8288;
 * Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed.&#8288;
 * The menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩). The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt.&#8288;
 * A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption.&#8288;
 * There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations: + +  on a Windows or Linux device, or  + +  on a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is  +  on a Windows or Linux device or  +  on a Mac.&#8288;

Future changes

 * The VisualEditor team is working with the Community Tech team on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of  tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017.&#8288;
 * The kind of button used to, , and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use OOjs UI. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same.  You can test the new button by editing a page and adding   to the end of the URL, like this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1  The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes.&#8288;
 * The outdated 2006 wikitext editor will be removed later this year. It is used by approximately 0.03% or 0.3‰ or 3‱ of active editors. See a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org if you are uncertain which one you use.&#8288;

Canada's Wonderland
I probably got in your way with this article; sorry. I ran across a note about it at WP:AN, reporting the high levels of vandalism, and the sheer number of vandal edits meant that they were taking up so much room in the page history. This led me to decide simply to get rid of them (not revdel, since revdel allows them to continue clogging up the history), but for some reason it took five minutes just to undelete everything, and in the meantime I suppose you were trying to edit and wondering what happened to the page. Nyttend (talk) 02:49, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for cleaning the page history. No need to apologize. At least you deleted and restored the article shortly after I made almost thirty revisions to improve the article, the same as the number of edits made by the vandal. Great timing! Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 16:24, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
 * It's great that the article history was cleaned up. The user could have been blocked for 3RR much earlier and is now very much an unperson, using Newspeak parlance, in the grand scheme of things. My edits stay put, as they are constructive. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 13:14, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Additional comments by volunteer: This is the approved version: Toronto is the capital city of the Canadian province of Ontario. It is located within the Golden Horseshoe in Southern Ontario on the northern shore of Lake Ontario. With 2,731,571 residents in 2016, it is the largest city in Canada and fourth-largest city in North America by population. Also in 2016, the Toronto census metropolitan area (CMA), the majority of which is within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), had a population of 5,928,040, making it Canada's most populous CMA. A global city, Toronto is a centre of business, finance, arts, and culture, and is recognized as one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
 * It has been resolved and is much better than what was there earlier. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 01:00, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing
I notice that you have the "administrator someday" userbox. Reviewing new pages is one of the best ways to develop experience needed to successfully wield the mop. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  10:28, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I will be admin someday, but I don't have much time to review new pages these days, especially those outside my expertise. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 13:14, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * We have a new tool called the The NPP Browser that lets you search all currently unreviewed pages by keyword or category (making it easy to find articles within your preferred area of expertise). If you get some spare time and decide to join in the future, I just wanted you to know that this was available. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  18:05, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks interesting. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 04:31, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Capitalization
Terms like "head coach", "first assistant coach" and "director of soccer" are not proper names in English, they're just job titles, and so MOS:CAPS says not to capitalize them. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:34, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't know how you do that, and there's nothing wrong with it, I suppose, but Wikipedia automatically turns wikilinks to the containing page into bold unlinked text. So why the workaround to get the default display? —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:45, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * No idea. I just manually change the link to talk on this page only. Just a habit. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 15:46, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Use of WPcleaner
In searching through options to start up WP cleaner on my Mac, I fear I am an oldie newbie who dares not fool with coding apps on my Mac, it crashes regularly online, probably because I do not keep up with various updates required for the newspaper advertising that keeps loading when I try to blog on op-ed columns. I don't know, I can't figure it out.

I very much would appreciate it if you would run the WP cleaner on the following articles where I have written charts of the delegates in each convention. Many are linked to disambiguation pages (14 of 94 for the Convention of 1829–30, with 36 unique links, -- though at least one was to the wrong guy, so I need to learn how to create disambiguation pages), but the editor who helped out with that and the Convention of 1850 suggests that I do it myself. There are about a hundred names in each chart, so some sort of techie assist would be very much more efficient than eyeball clicking each name.

Here is my wishlist: Fifth Virginia Convention, Virginia Secession Convention of 1861, Wheeling Convention, Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868, Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1902.

Thanks in advance for any help, no hard feelings if not. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 11:53, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

 * It's very unfortunate that there aren't that many people using WPCleaner, according to this page here. Even rarer are those who use WPCleaner on a Mac, as there aren't many Mac users in general, despite it being the second most popular desktop operating system family. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:45, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

History of immigration to Canada
Fixed. I'm wondering why you didn't fix it yourself? Do you know about Wiki-Blame?—the "revision history search" button on the article history page. I just had it search for "China and India", it gave me a link to the edit where it was inserted (7 months ago!) and I copied and pasted the wording that had been there before, so we have the link to Immigration to Canada back, too. Yngvadottir (talk) 12:55, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. Wiki-Blame sounds interesting. I might try that. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 16:50, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, it has some flaws in that it's rather finicky, but it is still great overall. Keep it up. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 02:10, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.

If you enable the Beta Feature for "", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.



This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence. An arrow indicates that the paragraph changed location.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter from May of last year, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

 * The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December 2017 and January 2018. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Since the launch of the 2017 wikitext editor, it opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
 * The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges.&#8288;
 * Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor.&#8288;
 * The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. This tool has been used at the English Wikipedia for a long time. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be tricky for admins to set up. Other wikis can have this service, too. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.

Let's work together

 * The team is planning a presentation about editing tools for an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
 * Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
 * The  block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. This has already been enabled at the English Wikipedia. If you want columns for a long list of footnotes on this wiki, you can use either   or the plain (no parameters)   template. If you edit a different wiki, you can request multi-column support for your wiki.&#8288;
