VisualEditor
Thank you so much for trying out the new VisualEditor! The transition can be a little challenging to those of us who know something about Wiki markup already. :) If you insert some of the familiar Wikimarkup code (like or  – ), the VisualEditor thinks you are trying to type these things and puts " " tags around it. To actually achieve the same effects, you just need to use the link, template and other icons in the VisualEditor itself. (For more detail, please see VisualEditor/User guide and the VisualEditor/FAQ.) I believe that the developers are working now on some way to make this more clear so that people who know Wiki markup don't find themselves facing the tags with no way to understand why. :)

If you have feedback about your experience or encounter anything that looks like a bug, please let us know at VisualEditor/Feedback. And thanks again. --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 12:12, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
