--- Comment #11 from Albertojuanse <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #8) Finally, I am able to aswer the questions. Thank you for the waiting. The talk about the answers is here (in Spanish): https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Caf%C3%A9/Archivo/Noticias/Actual&oldid=72405348#Preguntas The aswers can be also be read here (in English): https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Caf%C3%A9/Archivo/Noticias/Actual&oldid=72405348#Respuestas Greetings. _____________________________________________________________________________ > 1.

As a consequence of the votation, the "opt-in" must be disabled; and thus it will be enabled by those who want to use it. The proper announcements will be made in order that noone overlook this change. And, that is correct, the new users will have to get informed —or they will be informed if they ask for help— about the different tools available in esWikipedia, which are not less useful and important that this one: our spelling checker, the PopUps or FastButtons, etc. _________________________________________________________________________ > 2.

However, that would be a bit odd to do as well as Fully right, if the user enables the VE, the label "Edit" —"Editar"— should be the wikitext's one and the "Editor Visual" should be the VisualEditor one. Regarding to the labeling way once the VE is activated, the community was not asked about that in the votation; although most of the users have pronounced in favour of using the second label for "Editor Visual" —"Visual Editor"—. However, proceed as you see best. _________________________________________________________________________ > 3.

In esWikipedia, the "beta" superscript has never been implemented, so we ignored its flaws. Besides, when the votation was proposed there were any warning about the software being beta, so it is logical that the community would desired to implement the "beta" warning. Be that as it may, our desires are limited by the technical viability of those, although this "beta" labeling it is still desired. _________________________________________________________________________ > 4.

About 20% of edits by anonymous users have been through VisualEditor > to date, and this is likely to confuse them. Will be developed the same action plan that was developed when the VisualEditor was implemented, id est, it will be announce in our "Café de noticias" —Village pump (news)— and the guide "Wikipedia:VisualEditor". Besides, we all will beware in order to solve the doubts from users and help them in this issue. _________________________________________________________________________ > 5. What is the plan for returning to use VisualEditor as the primary editor? > What changes or fixes would you like to see? When the tool have been fully finished, and the developers let us know this situation, the entire community will be asked again about this issue. At the time, if there is consensus about its implementation, it will be enabled; if not, there will be another votation about the VisualEditor. Please also note that in a votation, the "enable" option must reach 2/3 of the votes to be enabled. Regarding to the second question, several users are already working with the VisualEditor and they are reporting their feedback to the developers; so when it will be reported that the software has not structural flaws and that the use experience is acceptable, we will let you know. Also, there has been an interest in solving all the incompatibilities with other "mod" and "opt-in" softwares, although it is known that some of them are already fixed. Finally, even if they had nothing to do with the VisualEditor, several users have meant to note that more economics and human resources should be focuses on fixing existing problems such us the FastButtons —it was disabled weeks ago because a security breach—, the cellular phone and portable devices editing softwares, etc. _________________________________________________________________________ -- 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
