| This page used the Structured Discussions extension to give structured discussions. It has since been converted to wikitext, so the content and history here are only an approximation of what was actually displayed at the time these comments were made. |
Post your feedback about using the visual editor. Please report bugs involving Parsoid at Talk:Parsoid instead.
If you are reporting a problem directly on this page, please include your web browser, computer operating system, and wiki skin (usually Vector, sometimes Monobook). The feedback tool within the visual editor will include your user agent details instead.
Use this page to tell the Wikimedia developers your ideas and issues about using the visual editor. The Editing team welcomes your feedback and ideas, especially on user interface decisions and the priorities for adding new features. All comments are read, in any language, but personal replies are not guaranteed.
Please note that the Wikimedia Foundation does not provide support for installing VisualEditor on third-party wikis.
You may also want to read a guide to optimize the visual editor's experience on your site, which details work necessary on the community side (such as translating or setting up citation systems).

我們原本有的Toolbar上的"列表項"不見了！第一次編輯有出現，但第二次，甚至第三次編輯時，列表項依然沒出現，尤其是這個視覺化編輯器推出後所導致，還有視覺化編輯器會出現錯誤的訊息發生。
雖然有在phabricator有進行改善，但最後還是沒有出現列表項！
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T145203
請先將視覺化編輯器給移掉，然後進行檢查內部的情形！謝謝 Yuriy kosygin (talk) 12:03, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Exception when installed
[edit]I'm not sure how to fix this problem I got when I installed the VisualEditor on the latest MediaWiki master.
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to MWExceptionRenderer::output() must be an instance of Exception, instance of Error given, called in /var/lib/mediawiki/includes/exception/MWExceptionHandler.php on line 65 and defined in /var/lib/mediawiki/includes/exception/MWExceptionRenderer.php:35 Stack trace: #0 /var/lib/mediawiki/includes/exception/MWExceptionHandler.php(65): MWExceptionRenderer::output(Object(Error), 2) #1 /var/lib/mediawiki/includes/exception/MWExceptionHandler.php(125): MWExceptionHandler::report(Object(Error)) #2 [internal function]: MWExceptionHandler::handleException(Object(Error)) #3 {main} thrown in/var/lib/mediawiki/includes/exception/MWExceptionRenderer.php on line 35 185.34.10.69 (talk) 08:18, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- Well, I don't know the answer, either. The first question, though, is always the same: What versions of MediaWiki and Parsoid are you running? Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 14:29, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello! First of all, congratulations for the job your are doing with the VE! It's really useful for newcomers. I am writing from Basque Wikipedia because we have a problem with the the automatic citation (URL, DOI edo PMID). It doesn't just work and I don't know why. Could somebody take a look and see what happens? Thank you in advance! -Xabier Cañas (talk) 16:59, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

- @Dan Belloso, you want to leave this remark on the talk page of the article you are referring to. Thanks! Elitre (WMF) (talk) 10:16, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Elitre.
- Yes, I try to indicate that there is non source link to this statement.
- Please, this is new for me and I will appreciate some instructions for this and to stablish links with other pages in wiki.
- many thanks,

Unable to leave feedback using VE's Feedback tool
[edit]The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
- Using VE on Commons. I have now twice typed a detailed bug report using VE's own "Help -> Leave feedback about this software", and upon clicking submit get the helpful error message "Error: Unable to post to given feedback title" and lost the entire report. In case of error, the report should be echoed back in the Error dialog box so that at least it can be copied/pasted. The Subject field contained no special characters and wasn't overly long.
- Secondly, the Submit Feedback dialog links to "VisualEditor/Feedback" on Commons (ie. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Feedback - a page which doesn't exist) rather than here.
- Using MonoBook on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 Storkk (talk) 09:25, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
- I have tested (as you can see above, also from other sites) and I haven't had that issue (all tests in Safari though, FWIW, and the latest one with Monobook). As there haven't been changes on the task, I don't know that someone actually fixed it, but if you could make a new test, that'd be much appreciated. Best. Elitre (WMF) (talk) 17:30, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Elitre. This should probably be classed as a Feature request rather than a true bug report: Regardless of whether it now works or not (it does), any error should echo back the input text so that it can be copied instead of just vanishing. Also, could you confirm that the Feedback dialog box on Commons links to this page here (and not to the nonexistent C:VisualEditor/Feedback?) I am referring to the link in the text "You can use the easy form below to submit your feedback. Your comment will be added to the page "VisualEditor/Feedback", along with your username." The incorrect link also occurs in the Thank you message: "Thanks! Your feedback has been posted to the page "VisualEditor/Feedback"." Storkk (talk) 17:40, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
- Part of the problem is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T125400 . I believe your report can be left alone, and the request to echo back the text filed separately. Do you need help with that? I see you do have an account there. Elitre (WMF) (talk) 17:46, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
- Does it need a separate report? I'm unsure what the Phabricator etiquette is, but I would think that it could mostly just stand with a change of title. Storkk (talk) 18:19, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, this is now https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147056 . Really sorry this happened to you. Can you share what you were trying to report as well? TY! Elitre (WMF) (talk) 11:15, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
- I was trying to use VE to edit the image descriptions in a gallery on Commons. After clicking "edit", the gallery appears to highlight in light blue. Clicking anywhere pops up a small "Gallery" field with an "edit" box on the top right of the screen (as opposed to w:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide#Editing_media_galleries, which suggests it will be near the bottom). Clicking this (either the field or the "edit" button, or indeed anything else I could think to click on) makes the whole page "shimmer" whitish for about half a second, and nothing happens. Nothing like File:VisualEditor_-_Gallery3.png pops up, either near the Gallery edit box at the top right, or at the bottom, and the "edit" button stays "edit" rather than reading "done".

- This is now https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147067 instead. Thanks a lot for taking the time to report this! Have a nice weekend. Elitre (WMF) (talk) 13:31, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
