Forum:Was there an announcement about a new edit toolbar?

I'm primarily a WoWWiki editor, but I occasionally edit WoWRP and I noticed it has a totally different and fancier edit window and toolbar. When was this announced and what wikis did it go to?

Also, when I try to put wikicode in the WYSIWYG-mode, I get this message: To edit this section please switch to WikiText view by clicking the "Source" button.

Unfortunately, there is no "Source" button that is easy to find. It turns out to be the far right black button with a little "&gt;" in it. The button picture should be in the message box.

Anyway, I'm wondering what the rollout plan for this new editing style will be. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 12:48 PM PST 19 Mar 2009

 * Umm thanks, I guess. I think I really wanted to see Forum:New editor, but your link helped me find it. Unforunately, none of my questions are really answered. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 12:52 PM PST 20 Mar 2009


 * The normal(maybe old) roll out plan of wikia is a cascade update from smallest to biggest so if they spot an issue they correct it before it gets to the biggest wikis where the complains are more energetic --


 * We do still work on that general plan, though it's more because it affects more people on the bigger wikis. We generally aim more at newer/newbie editors, which means we roll out on new wikis first. If we do roll out on a big wiki for user experience testing, we make sure to keep a very close eye on it. 22:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

So, to summarise the current timeline: it is currently active on all new wikis, and we'll be rolling it out further in next couple of months - we stalled it for a little while to fix some issues and redo the editor's toolbar, but these have been dealt with now. We've tried to ensure that use of the FCK editor will make little to no difference to the code layout when regarded from source mode, and this appears to be working pretty well so far. You can give it a test on communitytest.wikia.com or almost all wikis created since the end of last year. (Note: the user preference (under editing) will only show up on wikis where the editor is enabled.) 22:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
