 Sorry Christoph, this was just my/our first guess that morning.
 It was a fault by somebody who copied text from the preview to the
 editor, see Stefan Weigels Mail on the list.

 Thanks for the hint ... but this makes it even more less
 problematic :-)

 Please correct me, but ... shouldn't this be handled by the versioning
 feature within the wiki. So if something weird happens, we can easily go
 back to the previous content?

Nope. If a sysop or reviewer rolls back the page to a previous version
because of technical faults, all the last content will be missed
afterwards.

Hi,

2010/11/5 Stefan Weigel stefan.wei...@bildungskreis.org:
 I personally would never use the WYSIWYG editor. I consider myself
 as an average skilled user.

 Do other users need one or ask for one? I don´t know.

 However, I see Wikipedia without WYSIWYG and most Wikipedia authors
 are definitely far away from being a hackers brain. ;-)

 Other examples, and quite compareable to us, are wiki.ubuntuusers.de
 as well as the community wiki at ubuntu.com. They don´t have WYSIWYG
 either.

 If a WYSIWYG editor is a risk to our content, I would recommend not
 to have one. I´d rather recommend to use LibreOffice Writer and its
 Export to MediaWiki functionality. :-)

I would second Stefan.
A WYSIWYG-Editor is not needed, just a risk and we have to tidy up behind.

Next 2c

Volker
