VisualEditor newsletter—December 2014


Did you know?

Basic table editing is now available in VisualEditor. You can add and remove rows and columns from existing tables at the click of a button.

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 table editing and performance. Their weekly status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.

VisualEditor was deployed to several hundred remaining wikis as an opt-in beta feature at the end of November, except for most Wiktionaries (which depend heavily upon templates) and all Wikisources (which await integration with ProofreadPage).

Recent improvements
Basic support for editing tables is available. You can insert new tables, add and remove rows and columns, set or remove a caption for a table, and merge cells together. To change the contents of a cell, double-click inside it. More features will be added in the coming months. In addition, VisualEditor now ignores broken, invalid  and   elements, instead of trying to repair them.

You can now use find and replace in VisualEditor, reachable through the tool menu or by pressing  ⌃ Ctrl + F  or  ⌘ Cmd + F.

You can now create and edit simple  paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "" into a "".

Some new keyboard sequences can be used to format content. At the start of the line, typing " *  " will make the line a bullet list; " 1.  " or " # " will make it a numbered list; " == " will make it a section heading; " : " will make it a blockquote. If you didn't mean to use these tools, you can press undo to undo the formatting change. There are also two other keyboard sequences: " [[ " for opening the link tool, and " {{ " for opening the template tool, to help experienced editors. The existing standard keyboard shortcuts, like ⌃ Ctrl + K to open the link editor, still work.

If you add a category that has been redirected, then VisualEditor now adds its target. Categories without description pages show up as red.

You can again create and edit galleries as wikitext code.

Looking ahead
VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme designed by the User Experience group. The new theme will be visible for desktop systems at MediaWiki.org in late December and at other sites early January. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" theme and the new "MediaWiki" one which will replace it.)

The Editing team plans to add auto-fill features for citations in January. Planned changes to the media search dialog will make choosing between possible images easier.

A kitten for you!
Thank you for your cleanup of references in the Daan_Noppen Article. My first article, whoep whoep. I am learning on the job, many thanks Claire1visser

Hi Lotje, Many thanks for your input at Daan Noppen. What is the reason for deleting the picture? What changes should be done? Have a nice weekend! Claire — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claire1visser (talk • contribs) 13:15, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Ladakh
Hi, I saw you made this edit which removed a whole lot of parameters (authors, pages, paper titles, etc.) which certainly looked as if they had value, leaving bare URLs behind. This seems an odd move - if an IP had done it, I'd have templated them for vandalism. Since you are a good and responsible editor, I'm sure you had a reason but I'd be curious to know what it was? All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:20, 24 December 2014 (UTC)


 * And a very Merry Christmas to you, too. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:15, 25 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for the discussion on the other article, and your good wishes. How shall we resolve Ladakh? Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:34, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I wish I knew how to tackle that one. Lotje (talk) 11:44, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah. Well, I think we'd better put back the citation parameters, we can't tidy articles by discarding correct references. I'll see what I can do. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:13, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I hadn't realized you'd reverted your additions already. Many thanks for that; the article isn't in bad shape. On the other article you asked me to look at, I have a feeling it may have involved a paid or otherwise involved editor - rather well shaped, rather a particular subject, nothing I could prove. If so, might be worth watching out for more articles; and one could check the references carefully to see if they really prove notability, such things often involve unpublished or non-independent sources. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:31, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
