There's support for a two pane option but not necessarily by default.Ĥ.4 4. Visual editor should display two editing panes by default, one WYSIWYG pane and a smaller pane for source code editing. A majority of editors felt that, in its current state, the Visual Editor should be scrapped, but many editors felt that a well done implementation would benefit Wikipedia.Ĥ.3 3. That visual editor should be shelved completely, and things go back to how they were before. That visual editor, in its present form, should NOT be made available to unregistered users, and that it should not be made available to anonymous IP users in the future, without a community-wide discussion & vote. I was disappointed to see opposition to visual editor on the basis that we should keep it harder for newcomers to edit which, of course, is contrary to a core Foundation principle.ģ.1 Question 1: When a new account is created, should the preference be set to disable VE ("opt-in") or to enable VE ("opt-out")? Opt-inģ.2 Question 2: When an editor is editing anonymously, should VE be presented by default? Noģ.3 Question 2.5: If VE is presented to anonymous users, how visible should it be? Link should open wikitext editor and provide link to Visual Editorģ.4 Question 3: Should the preference be set to disable VE for all existing accounts, requiring editors that choose to test VE to specifically enable it? Consensus is editors should make explicit choice to become beta testers, therefore the preference state for existing accounts should be changedģ.5 Question 4: Should the user interface explicitly warn editors that pressing the "edit" button is using beta software? Yesģ.6 Question 5: Should the VisualEditor support basic wikimarkup shortcuts, such as bold, italics, and Link? YesĤ.1 1. Overall, community participants indicate strong feelings the current Visual Editor implementation isn't good but there is support for the concept as long as it doesn't preclude direct wikisource editing. Below is a summary of the questions and my read on the consensus - in some cases the individual subsections have more detail. I've closed this RFC in response from a plea on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard for a non participant.
A summary of the conclusions reached follows. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
