Re: [WikiEN-l] So who's beta-testing the Visual Editor?
I've found it very difficult to test out the VE because so much of what I do involves, one way or another, templates (which don't work yet in VE). Manipulating anything to do with a source, for example, is out. Adding tags to an article is out. Infoboxes are out. And so forth. I suspect once templates and, more specifically, references are up and running, it will be much, much easier to test VE as part of one's workflow. -Fluffernutter On Sat, May 11, 2013 at 4:43 PM, David Gerard dger...@gmail.com wrote: This is all the Visual Editor edits in en:wp: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChangestagfilter=visualeditor It's not many.

A couple of times already I started making an edit with the VE, then went to add a reference...and hard to start over in the source editor. I've been using it for typos. That said, I haven't seen any bugs. It looks really, really good. Still getting pawns show up occasionally. (Reliable way to manifest them: edit a list.) - d. ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

Mmmm... so I know that it's the English Wikipedia mailing list, but I suppose that this won't hurt: In the Hebrew Wikipedia several people tried the VisualEditor. I counted seven newly reported bugs as a result of this, and one reopened. There were also a few WONTFIXes, INVALIDs and dupes. Two of the new bugs were already fixed. I think that it's a reasonable response level to a brand new opt-in feature, which is barely alpha quality. It's not big, but it's much more than zero. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Testing early and often is particularly important for a right-to-left language, since those are generally neglected in the Latin alphabet computing world. - d. ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
