Timeshifter <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Timeshifter <[email protected]> --- At the time of this discussion by VE developers, [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Archive 2013 05#General_observations]], hidden notes/comments were preserved. Now all hidden HTML notes on a page (or at least those in templates) are removed when the page is edited by VE. Page edit notices and section edit notices will not work as a replacement since hidden notes can be instructional for specific references, tables, infoboxes, navboxes, sentences, paragraphs, etc.. Page notices and edit notices are for a whole page or section. For more info: [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback#HTML_notes]] - or wherever it ends up later in the archives. If HTML notes are going to be replaced by some new hidden notation system, they still need to be preserved in the meantime. They should be treated similarly to how VE handles tables, infoboxes, and other stuff that VE can not currently edit. VE should not be doing anything within templates. Templates are too complex for VE to meddle with in the slightest way. VE should not even remove spaces in templates. If VE ends up with another hidden note tool, then a bot may have to go around to convert all existing hidden HTML notes to the new VE tool. But why bother? Why not keep the HTML notes, and use some kind of popup tooltip in VE that pops up when one puts the mouse cursor over a hidden note icon in VE edit mode? So one can read the hidden note in the popup. Kind of like how reference tooltips work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
