Forum:New Visual Editor: Problems and Suggestions/archive

Feature Request: Edittools
I didn't see the Edittools availabe in the new editor. If you shouldn't add it to the new editor, please do so. --MyBrute Resource Center@Ronga 17:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * In source mode, that could be possible. I'll note it down. 12:03, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Where is the new editor?
I don't see the new editor neither when I edit text on all Wikias nor in my preferences. Is it enabled everywhere and for everyone?--G.E. 13:14, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Try here. This site has the new visual editor on by default. --MyBrute Resource Center@Ronga 14:04, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * At the moment it is only available for use on newer wikis. We plan to roll it out further, but it won't be enabled by default for established editors. 11:32, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Bug in numbered list properties?
If I make a numbered list, right-click and select Numbered List Properties. You get the bullet list properties (Circle, Disc, Square) instead of 1., a., i. (not sure exactly what would be available). -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 12:54 PM PST 27 Apr 2009


 * Good spot - will pass it on. 20:14, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * As I realised later, that kind of option doesn't make any sense for wikitext anyway, so I'll get both removed. 12:35, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Visual Editor Bug Report
I encountered the same bug and I found others too. Edits made by an anonymous editor: diff

The bug converts all wikilinks into broken external links. It's pretty annoying.--MyBrute Resource Center@Ronga 02:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * We know of it, we'll try and get it fixed ASAP. 12:38, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

The same bug BUT in different ways
I've already built up a script to clean up the mess screwed by the visual editor.

However the visual editor seems to have found new ways to screw up a lot of links in DIFFERENT WAYS. This bug is critical in that it often screws up all links in our pages once in a while.

Go to: for details.

Bug: Mismatch Links
Read this:
 * niefeng (Stat at Lv6: HP 71 // Speciality: fierce brute, Net // Weapon: Broadsword, Mammoth's Bone)

* niefeng (Stat at Lv6: HP 71 // Speciality: fierce brute, Net // Weapon: Broadsword, Mammoth's Bone)

Note how the links are pointed to the wrong places.

fierce brute The page "fierce brute" is pointed to the page "speciality". It should be simply just fierce brute but the visual editor screws it up.

Bug: Broken Links
Read this:
 * ebur (Seems inactive. Stat at Lv7: HP 90, 3-3-6 // Speciality: 6th sense, shield, Extra-thick skin, Fierce brute // Weapon: None) Weak

* ebur (Seems inactive. Stat at Lv7: HP 90, 3-3-6 // Speciality: 6th sense, shield, Extra-thick skin, Fierce brute // Weapon: None) Weak

All links are replaced by the weird "http:///wiki/" this time.

Bug: Internal Links converted into external links (Undesired!)


Read this:
 * Arena (active. Stat at Lv10: HP 89, 5-4-7 // Speciality: Bomb, Cry of the Damned // Weapon: Lance, Knife, Broadsword, Hatchet, Bumps)
 * Arena (active. Stat at Lv10: HP 89, 5-4-7 // Speciality: Bomb, Cry of the Damned // Weapon: Lance, Knife, Broadsword, Hatchet, Bumps)

It should be simply just Speciality, but the visual editor converts all links into external ones: Speciality.

Do you have any clue why it happens? Could we do anything to avoid this mess? --MyBrute Resource Center@Ronga 03:39, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the individual reports, I will pass them on. 15:04, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Obviously the same goes for interwiki links. My suggestion, on paste if a [http//*.wikia.com/wiki/** ???] is found then it's converted to a wikilink, if the subdomain is the same as the wiki it's made internal, otherwise it's made into a w:c: interwiki link. Similar things should probably be done with Wikipedia links. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jun 2, 2009 @ 17:24 (UTC)
