I see now what you mean, but my point still stands: "edit source" is not something that warrants use of the word "always", as it's completely new, introduced with visual editor... there was no "edit source" anywhere before VE. for all i care, we do not even need "edit source" on the page when reading it, "Edit" is enough, as long as there *is* "edit source" once VE fires up. as to what should be the action of this "edit source", i believe it should put you in the same spot you would have been if VE was not enabled. in the case you entered edit state through an editsection linkette, this means edit section. however, it is possible in this case to eat the cake and have it too, by rephrasing the original ticket, so let me try to do this: ====== ORIGINAL TICKET REPHRASING =========== When the user press the editsection linkette and VE is enabled, a new top menu item should be generated: "Edit section source", next to "Edit source". pressing this menu item is equivalent to pressing the editsection link when VE is disabled. Not allowing this functionality basically means that there is no way to execute section edit of wikitext if VE is enabled, which, IMO, is a serious regression. (alternatively, pressing the "edit source" linkette should open a dialog asking if the user wants to edit the whole article or just the section). ============== END REPHRASING =============== peace. -- 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
