EDIT DETAILS
**Type of activity:** Pre-scheduled session.
**Main topic:** Handling wiki content beyond plaintext
== The problem ==
VisualEditor is a friendly means to edit *content*, but it presently provides no means to author *templates*, which are an important component of our projects.
We can use Visual Editor to edit templates, and in the process better separate code, content, and presentation. I'm going to call these "Visual Templates".
Mailing list discussion: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-October/083467.html
*See also:* {T114251}
**SUMMIT PLAN**== Expected outcome ==
* The primary goal for the summit would be to stimulate discussion of "visual template editing" in general, and agree on a strategy. Is template authorship always going to be a function of wikitext? Or do we want to build a specialized IDE with little resemblance to VE? What's the 10-year view for templates?
== Current status of the discussion ==
