Hi, I've recently started to come across edits make with the VisualEditor where after all the newlines and white-space are removed making it both very difficult for source editor users to read/edit and more importantly to compare what has changed. If someone vandalises content it's very difficult to tell on large infoboxes, or sometimes even small ones. For both the purposes of anti-vandalism work and just for general editing with the source editor this is really bad.

I make a lot of edits on Wikipedia, mainly for formatting, copy edits and short descriptions. I usually use the visual editor. In the past week, I've noticed the template data fail to load or parse correctly in the visual editor on some templates I use a lot, like {{
lang-zh}}
and even {{
short description}}
. Other templates unpredictably show proper parameter info and descriptions in the visual editor. I don't know why. --

Using the option to add a reference and letting it fill in details from a URL it gives an invalid date of |date=1548849780
- there appears to be no validation of the information that it adds in to the reference. It should only allow dates that are valid and that comply with the MOS.
Just as an example try the following URL http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1074838/peruvian-olympic-committee-opens-lima-2019-accreditation-process-for-national-press

I'm a newish editor and have found an error I don't know how to fix. The problem is this: When I am using the Visual Editor to add a link on a page to Joan Withers, there is a dropdown list of possible pages that match what I'm typing, that appears as I type her name in. However under that 'Joan Withers' there is some grey text that says 'NZ businessman'. This is incorrect, as she is not a businessman! However I don't think that text is being sourced from the Joan Withers page, as there is no mention of the word 'businessman' on her page. How do I edit that text underneath the name in the dropdown list that appears as you try to add a link? Where is it sourced from?
Please don't just fix the Joan Withers problem itself, but tell me how to do it for other people in future, as I have found this type of error more than once. DrThneed ( talk) 23:20, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

It took the author's last name "Mylander" and broke it up into two last names "Myl" and "er". I suspect the regex is not working as intended and should check for whitespace around "and" before interpreting text as two authors.

Copying the {{extinct}} template output via visual editor and pasting results only in the output character rather than the template. Not sure if this is particularly intuitive especially when the citation templates copy in such a different way. Shyamal ( talk) 02:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
@ Shyamal: As an experiment, I create an instance of the {{extinct}} template yielding † . Next I copy-and-paste it yielding † . And it seems to work (both are templates, not the character). You can check the history of this talk page to confirm I did this in the Visual Editor. Generally when copy and paste of templates doesn't work in Visual Editor, it occurs when the copy is done in Read mode (not open in Visual Editor). If you are trying to copy and paste between two articles, open both of them in Visual Editor, even if you have no intention of changng the one you are copying from. I hope this helps. If it doesn't, can you explain more precisely the sequence of actions that caused the problem. Kerry ( talk) 04:04, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

I've recently been doing some work trying to clean up some articles where Visual Editor was used to create very thoroughly referenced but sometimes confusingly arranged text. All the references have "names" like ":0", because that's what VE does when an editor re-uses a reference. In trying to improve the articles, sometimes wanting to re-use one of the existing references, it's really difficult to keep track of which reference is which. If anyone ever needs to merge articles, or legitimately copy text from one article to another, and both articles were created with Visual Editor, these colon+number ref names will cause huge problems as any imported references will need to be renamed, at each occurrence, before the text can be moved around to integrate it into its new home.
The Guidelines on reference names at
Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Repeated_citations say "To help with page maintenance, it is recommended that the text of the name have a connection to the inline citation or footnote, for example "author year page" "
. The Help page at
Help:Footnotes#Footnotes:_using_a_source_more_than_once says "Names should have semantic value, so that they can be more easily distinguished from each other by human editors." VE goes against the recommendation in a policy and the instruction in a help page.
Please, please, can VE be modified so that by default it creates a sensible reference name? It has the author and title fields in the reference, it could so easily construct something from those, and would save a lot of trouble.
As an example, a recent article I've been working on is Kate Jagoe-Davies. Initially, since no-one had edited references since the article's creation, I could see that each numbered footnote was one higher than the reference "name" - so footnote "1" was ref ":0". But after moving things around, footnote "3" is now ref ":4". It makes life unnecessarily difficult for human editors.
This problem is only going to get worse as a growing number of articles with VE-named references are, in the natural way of things, worked on to improve or update them. VE needs to be amended. Pam D 08:29, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
I often want to add a template without taking my hands off the keyboard. I know that "{{" gets me into the template dialog, and then I can type the name of the template and hit return twice, But, then I'm left in a state where hitting additional returns edits text in the first template field text box. What I want to do is just simulate clicking the "Insert" button. I can hit tab some large number of times to cycle through the various U/I elements until the Insert button is highlighted, then hit return, but that's awkward. Is there any faster way to do this?

I used to be able to copy references in visual editor and paste them elsewhere in the same article or in another article in visual editor in a separate tab, and used to be able to drag it elsewhere in the article to move it to the proper location. In addition, there have been glitches with the reference boxes, and in one case I lost my work because it wouldn't let me save. These issues need to be remedied.

Most of the feedback appearing on this page is going to be 'centralized' to MediaWiki.org soon. This will specifically affect any feedback that begins with "User agent:". The page is still open to anyone who wants to post manually – although, as it says at the top, the devs may not hear about feedback on this page very quickly.
I ask, therefore, that the regulars watching this page make a habit of alerting a more closely watch page if someone reports any serious-sounding problem. You can do this by leaving a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or the local Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) (or pinging me, if all else fails) about any problem that seems urgent to you. They're still interested, but time constraints prevent the team from watching all the separate pages. Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 17:42, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

When using the source editor with syntax highlighter on, when you have links inside a link to a file. The colouring of the square brackets ends at the square brackets for the link and not for the link to the file. If an external link is at the end of a file link (causing ]]]) at the end, the first two square brackets are coloured rather than the last two (]]] instead of ]]]). External links are also not styled when in file links. For example:
[[File:example.png|thumb|This a caption with a [[link]], okay?]] should be...
[[File:example.png|thumb|This a caption with a [[link|display]], okay?]] should be...
[[File:example.png|thumb|This a caption with a [https://en.wikipedia.org external link.]]] should be...

Results: | The editor is basically unusable when when you try deleting or entering text on one line, the text is deleted or entered on another line. |
Expectations: | A table to be inserted and for the editor to work normally. |

Hi, On the Awards tables for BLPs - If you move the result columns across
this happens, I have to enter |{{won}}/{{nom}}{{pending}} on a new line for the results template to work,
Maybe this should be changed so that when you move columns it then creates them as a new line regardless of whether it was like that before or not,
Thanks, –

Hello. The new source editing in en.wiki made one aspect of talk page/project/etc. communicating: it has obscured the signature button, which is now two clicks away and is in a long drop-out list. Previously, it was much more easily accessible along other big buttons like Symbols or Links, so I'd like it to return to that position on talk pages. Thank you!

Please consider including formatting—e.g. background, alignment, etc—when copy/pasting cells in a table. It seems easy enough to include the whole content in the cell—e.g. ||align=center style=background:yellow | 243,567 ||
—rather than selecting out the text part only—|| align=center style=background:yellow | 243,567 ||
. Is it?
Perhaps later, one could also think of implementing paste values and paste format options. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guarapiranga ( talk • contribs) 15:07, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi. I tried to report this problem on
Phabricator, but quickly closed without investigating... On frwiki, it has been several weeks/months that VE is creatings things like <ref>{{Lien web|langue=|auteur1=|titre=Red Star 93|url=https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_Football_Club|site=https://www.redstar.fr/|périodique=|date=|consulté le={{safesubst:Aujourd'hui}}}}</ref>
. The {{safesubst:...}} (Aujourd'hui means today) is supposed to be initialized with the date where the reference has been added (it's the access date). The template doesn't define this default value in the TemplateData (cf.
API call: "autovalue": ""), but in some situations it seems to be added nonetheless by VE. Any idea on where to look and how to fix this problem? --

Hi, I've recently started to come across edits make with the VisualEditor where after all the newlines and white-space are removed making it both very difficult for source editor users to read/edit and more importantly to compare what has changed. If someone vandalises content it's very difficult to tell on large infoboxes, or sometimes even small ones. For both the purposes of anti-vandalism work and just for general editing with the source editor this is really bad.

Using the option to add a reference and letting it fill in details from a URL it gives an invalid date of |date=1548849780
- there appears to be no validation of the information that it adds in to the reference. It should only allow dates that are valid and that comply with the MOS.
Just as an example try the following URL http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1074838/peruvian-olympic-committee-opens-lima-2019-accreditation-process-for-national-press

I'm a newish editor and have found an error I don't know how to fix. The problem is this: When I am using the Visual Editor to add a link on a page to Joan Withers, there is a dropdown list of possible pages that match what I'm typing, that appears as I type her name in. However under that 'Joan Withers' there is some grey text that says 'NZ businessman'. This is incorrect, as she is not a businessman! However I don't think that text is being sourced from the Joan Withers page, as there is no mention of the word 'businessman' on her page. How do I edit that text underneath the name in the dropdown list that appears as you try to add a link? Where is it sourced from?

Copying the {{extinct}} template output via visual editor and pasting results only in the output character rather than the template. Not sure if this is particularly intuitive especially when the citation templates copy in such a different way. Shyamal ( talk) 02:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
@ Shyamal: As an experiment, I create an instance of the {{extinct}} template yielding † . Next I copy-and-paste it yielding † . And it seems to work (both are templates, not the character). You can check the history of this talk page to confirm I did this in the Visual Editor. Generally when copy and paste of templates doesn't work in Visual Editor, it occurs when the copy is done in Read mode (not open in Visual Editor). If you are trying to copy and paste between two articles, open both of them in Visual Editor, even if you have no intention of changng the one you are copying from. I hope this helps. If it doesn't, can you explain more precisely the sequence of actions that caused the problem. Kerry ( talk) 04:04, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

I've recently been doing some work trying to clean up some articles where Visual Editor was used to create very thoroughly referenced but sometimes confusingly arranged text. All the references have "names" like ":0", because that's what VE does when an editor re-uses a reference. In trying to improve the articles, sometimes wanting to re-use one of the existing references, it's really difficult to keep track of which reference is which. If anyone ever needs to merge articles, or legitimately copy text from one article to another, and both articles were created with Visual Editor, these colon+number ref names will cause huge problems as any imported references will need to be renamed, at each occurrence, before the text can be moved around to integrate it into its new home.
The Guidelines on reference names at
Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Repeated_citations say "To help with page maintenance, it is recommended that the text of the name have a connection to the inline citation or footnote, for example "author year page" "
. The Help page at
Help:Footnotes#Footnotes:_using_a_source_more_than_once says "Names should have semantic value, so that they can be more easily distinguished from each other by human editors." VE goes against the recommendation in a policy and the instruction in a help page.
Please, please, can VE be modified so that by default it creates a sensible reference name? It has the author and title fields in the reference, it could so easily construct something from those, and would save a lot of trouble.
As an example, a recent article I've been working on is Kate Jagoe-Davies. Initially, since no-one had edited references since the article's creation, I could see that each numbered footnote was one higher than the reference "name" - so footnote "1" was ref ":0". But after moving things around, footnote "3" is now ref ":4". It makes life unnecessarily difficult for human editors.
This problem is only going to get worse as a growing number of articles with VE-named references are, in the natural way of things, worked on to improve or update them. VE needs to be amended. Pam D 08:29, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
I often want to add a template without taking my hands off the keyboard. I know that "{{" gets me into the template dialog, and then I can type the name of the template and hit return twice, But, then I'm left in a state where hitting additional returns edits text in the first template field text box. What I want to do is just simulate clicking the "Insert" button. I can hit tab some large number of times to cycle through the various U/I elements until the Insert button is highlighted, then hit return, but that's awkward. Is there any faster way to do this? I'm using Chrome on a Mac. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:53, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

I used to be able to copy references in visual editor and paste them elsewhere in the same article or in another article in visual editor in a separate tab, and used to be able to drag it elsewhere in the article to move it to the proper location. In addition, there have been glitches with the reference boxes, and in one case I lost my work because it wouldn't let me save. These issues need to be remedied. While I have no issue editing by source, and have both tabs at the top for my personal settings, it takes more time. Thanks in advance.-- Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 19:29, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Most of the feedback appearing on this page is going to be 'centralized' to MediaWiki.org soon. This will specifically affect any feedback that begins with "User agent:". The page is still open to anyone who wants to post manually – although, as it says at the top, the devs may not hear about feedback on this page very quickly.
I ask, therefore, that the regulars watching this page make a habit of alerting a more closely watch page if someone reports any serious-sounding problem. You can do this by leaving a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or the local Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) (or pinging me, if all else fails) about any problem that seems urgent to you. They're still interested, but time constraints prevent the team from watching all the separate pages. Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 17:42, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

When using the source editor with syntax highlighter on, when you have links inside a link to a file. The colouring of the square brackets ends at the square brackets for the link and not for the link to the file. If an external link is at the end of a file link (causing ]]]) at the end, the first two square brackets are coloured rather than the last two (]]] instead of ]]]). External links are also not styled when in file links. For example:
[[File:example.png|thumb|This a caption with a [[link]], okay?]] should be...
[[File:example.png|thumb|This a caption with a [[link|display]], okay?]] should be...
[[File:example.png|thumb|This a caption with a [https://en.wikipedia.org external link.]]] should be...

Hi, On the Awards tables for BLPs - If you move the result columns across
this happens, I have to enter |{{won}}/{{nom}}{{pending}} on a new line for the results template to work,
Maybe this should be changed so that when you move columns it then creates them as a new line regardless of whether it was like that before or not,

Hello. The new source editing in en.wiki made one aspect of talk page/project/etc. communicating: it has obscured the signature button, which is now two clicks away and is in a long drop-out list.

Please consider including formatting—e.g. background, alignment, etc—when copy/pasting cells in a table. It seems easy enough to include the whole content in the cell—e.g. ||align=center style=background:yellow | 243,567 ||
—rather than selecting out the text part only—|| align=center style=background:yellow | 243,567 ||
. Is it?
Perhaps later, one could also think of implementing paste values and paste format options. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guarapiranga ( talk • contribs) 15:07, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Please consider including a palette of background colour options on the editor ribbon. Cheers. Guarapiranga ( talk) 07:56, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
Using Chrome to edit page, there is a dummy blank line in editor window. Cursor position on screen when editing then does not match the logical position within the data, so editing mistakes will happen.

How do I change this picture? Don Salas y Castro lived way before the onset of photography. There are no known pictures of him; however, it is known for certainty that he was a bi-racial man, with African features. This picture is totally inaccurate.

Guten Tag Wikipedia Team, gerne würde ich ein Bild des Künstlers Carl Bucher, auf seinem neuen Wikipediaeintrag hochladen, scheitere jedoch immer und weiss nicht weshalb... Da dass Copyright bei uns in der Familie liegt. Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe. Liebe Grüsse, Letizia

Hi. I tried to report this problem on
Phabricator, but quickly closed without investigating... On frwiki, it has been several weeks/months that VE is creatings things like <ref>{{Lien web|langue=|auteur1=|titre=Red Star 93|url=https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_Football_Club|site=https://www.redstar.fr/|périodique=|date=|consulté le={{safesubst:Aujourd'hui}}}}</ref>
. The {{safesubst:...}} (Aujourd'hui means today) is supposed to be initialized with the date where the reference has been added (it's the access date). The template doesn't define this default value in the TemplateData (cf.
API call: "autovalue": ""), but in some situations it seems to be added nonetheless by VE. Any idea on where to look and how to fix this problem? --
