Possible issue with Visual Editor
Using: Chrome: 112.0.5615.50, Windows 10 (64-bit), Vector legacy (2010)
I know that there are limitations with Visual Editor and templates but I've started to notice it acting weird on a few specifically. If you edit certain templates with Visual Editor, it will most of time, mess up the parameter spacing and hidden comments that may also be in the template. Below are the templates I've seen the most effected by VE; I would surmise there are a lot of other templates which can get messed up regarding the hidden comments and parameter spacing in them.
Template:Infobox settlement: Removes parameter spacing; messes up hidden comments (Example).
Template:Infobox U.S. county: Doesn't create a new line for each new parameter added (Example)
Template:US Census population: May mess up the parameter spacing (Example).
Template:Jct: How the template is viewed in VE mode means the parameter order get reversed (Example).
Other: If imputing bullet points manually, user can create multiple different bullet "charts" which don't merge into a single "chart" (Example).
To my best knowledge, these issues don't hurt the contents of the template if in "Read" mode (expect for the bullet point issue), but it does mess up the template layout which could be a problem for other users. I'm concerned that, due to the nature of the issue and amount of bytes it add/removes, Wikipedia might incorrectly ping newer users edits as vandalism and led to edit reverts or bans (which is unfair since many don't know). I've tried to minimize using VE with templates now but I've seen many others who use VE and unintentionally mess up the template(s). All in all, not an immediate concern, but it might be good to investigate the issue in the future. Thank you for your time; have a good day.

When I'm in editing mode and have text selected, there should be a keyboard shortcut to make that text a hyperlink.
Similarly, there should be another keyboard shortcut for creating a new citation.

cite button is hard to locate in your visual-edit mode.

"Learn to edit" leads to "Introduction to Wikipedia". At the bottom of the page is "Please consider leaving us some feedback". I was unable to find a way to leave feedback from this message. In the tutorial series there is also a link marked "Feedback from new editors". Likewise it was not possible to submit feedback from here.

Where is Alignment?
- User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0
(1.) Give us to use alignment, or as your template goes, justified alignment for standard text, no center and all left aligned.
(2.) Where printing options, 'font size and font face controlled' pdf export (for printing.)
PS: (1.) alignment, (2.) font size, (3.) font face, (4.) pdf - supports

In the loanwords section, it needs to be reviewed and revised as the amount of misinformation in this section is overwhelming.

The whole article needs review from a group reputable linguists from universities in the Philippines as the sources provided are debatable, baseless, contradictory and at times the sheer incompetence of the previous writer of this article is ludicrous.
