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).

auto save in VE

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

In the translation tool, You can see auto saving process while translation. It will be very helpful if VE also can provide auto saving as draft. After drafting if someone wants to publish so it's okay. But if someone wants to do more work so it will be helpful for editor. I hope I have explained myself properly.

I'd just like to note that this should not be considered related to VE.

VE is a minor secondary editor. Almost all edits are made using the Wikitext editor. If it is decided that some sort of auto save for editing should be is added, then I naturally support adding the feature to the secondary editor as well. Alsee (talk) 12:09, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

I would really like to see this feature as well. 130.225.212.4 (talk) 10:32, 11 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
