VisualEditor newsletter—December 2014
Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on table editing and performance. Their weekly status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.
VisualEditor was deployed to several hundred remaining wikis as an opt-in beta feature at the end of November, except for most Wiktionaries (which depend heavily upon templates) and all Wikisources (which await integration with ProofreadPage).
Recent improvements
Basic support for editing tables is available. You can insert new tables, add and remove rows and columns, set or remove a caption for a table, and merge cells together. To change the contents of a cell, double-click inside it. More features will be added in the coming months. In addition, VisualEditor now ignores broken, invalid rowspan
and colspan
elements, instead of trying to repair them.
You can now use find and replace in VisualEditor, reachable through the tool menu or by pressing ⌃ Ctrl+F or ⌘ Cmd+F.
You can now create and edit simple <blockquote>
paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "Paragraph" into a "Block quote".
Some new keyboard sequences can be used to format content. At the start of the line, typing "* " will make the line a bullet list; "1. " or "# " will make it a numbered list; "==" will make it a section heading; ": " will make it a blockquote. If you didn't mean to use these tools, you can press undo to undo the formatting change. There are also two other keyboard sequences: "[[" for opening the link tool, and "{{" for opening the template tool, to help experienced editors. The existing standard keyboard shortcuts, like ⌃ Ctrl+K to open the link editor, still work.
If you add a category that has been redirected, then VisualEditor now adds its target. Categories without description pages show up as red.
You can again create and edit galleries as wikitext code.
Looking ahead
VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme designed by the User Experience group. The new theme will be visible for desktop systems at MediaWiki.org in late December and at other sites early January. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" theme and the new "MediaWiki" one which will replace it.)
The Editing team plans to add auto-fill features for citations in January. Planned changes to the media search dialog will make choosing between possible images easier.

Still want your name on Teahouse invites?
Hi Benzband! A while back, you agreed to have your name attached to some of the daily Teahouse invites sent by HostBot. Are you still interested in having your name included in some of these invites? If not, I'm happy to remove your name from the list. Cheers, - J-Mo Talk to Me Email Me 00:15, 29 December 2014 ( |}
- Hi Jtmorgan! It's been a while since I've been active at the Teahouse, so indeed it probably doesn't make sense for me to figure on invitations anymore. Happy New Year, benzband (talk) 23:04, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- Cool! I've taken your name off the list for now. Ping me if you ever want back on. Happy new year to you as well! Cheers, - J-Mo Talk to Me Email Me 20:02, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Help with linking two language versions of an article
Hi ben can you explain how to link the french and english language versions of the article on the moroccan magazine Souffles please? Thanks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souffles_%28magazine%29 https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revue_Souffles_%281966-1972%29 When i click "add link" in the "Languages" section of the sidebar it asks me to log in to Wikidata, but even once i'm logged in there it still doesn't work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackbird34 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Blackbird34: I've added the french article to the existing Wikidata entry Q17020414, which already had the english article listed, so language links should now appear in both language articles' sidebars. To add another language you can just scroll down to the section labeled "Wikipedia pages linked to this item" and click "edit". PS: You can sign your posts by adding four tildes (
~~~~
) at the end. – benzband (talk) 15:48, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
So...
I did this thing, and broke this table. And well, it may take me the better part of a decade to fix that broken pile of destruction. But, my good-friend-that-I-only-come-to-when-I-have-problems-and-I'm-sorry-about-that-and-maybe-I-can-get-you-a-beer-sometime? Ben would be able to look at it in a second and be able to fix it without me even knowing. That said, care to grab a beer? Achowat (talk) 05:39, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Achowat: Sure! With this edit I have just closed some references (many of the WP:NAMEDREFS seemed to be missing a slash), completed a row which was two cells short (I filled them with "flag?" and "name?" because it looked like there might be supposed to be a flag and a name there), and closed the table with "
|}
". I think it looks okay now! It seems the errors slipped in during the "stats a-plenty" edit. benzband (talk) 12:58, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
A beer for you!
See, you're my template guy, and I owe you a beer. And here's a beer template. That's funny, right? Achowat (talk) 16:32, 24 February 2015 (UTC) |
