My first thought is what were people thinking when they thought that using a visual editor to edit a whole page at a time would not slow things down a lot for many users? I am not a developer though, and hindsight is 20/20. Whatever it costs to make a visual editor that edits a section at at time would be worth it. The WMF spends money on far less important things. I have been saying this for years. I think millions of dollars more a year should be spent on developer salaries just for the visual editor, and the coordination of vast armies of volunteer developers to work on the visual editor. Another spending priority would be developer money for cross-wiki watchlists. -- 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
