--- Comment #8 from Timeshifter <zedlight...@gmail.com> --- This should be a priority and not just an enhancement. To think that future versions of MediaWiki will be crippled longterm by this incredibly buggy and slow visual editor is very discouraging. At the very least there needs to be a preference for direct "edit" and "edit source" links built in to MediaWiki preferences on the edit tab of preferences. MediaWiki installations should not need a "gadget" preference added for this by each webmaster of every MediaWiki installation. The hidden link to "edit source" is slowing down many editors.

See: [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback]] and its archives. Slowing down the many editors who will continue to need source editing to edit complex things more easily is a really dumb idea. What is the logic? That you will irritate and trick editors into using the visual editor? That they will click the "edit" link instead of the "edit source" by being tricked? It is extremely irritating to have to spend extra time to get to source editing. You will not lack in bug reports by providing direct links to "edit source".
