Forum:Rich Text Editor Problems

When the rich text editor was updated there was a message for reporting errors with it, but now it doesn't show and I'm having a problem editing certain pages specially those with CSS on it (this is one of them). When I press the edit button the page shows, but when I choose to edit the source it turns to loads of gibberish!

I turned off rich text editing which is working for me so far. But I do realize this has to be fixed eventually. Also when editing sections on the rich text editor sometimes the editor get's confused and when I save the page the tables go out of place.

I'm not sure at this point who is the best to contact about this, and I definitely don't want to send the message to the wrong person/staff. I don't know if contacting Wikia is the best at this point?

Please let me know who to contact! Thanks

 * Probably Special:Contact is the best way to go, as usual. They direct messages sent via that to the most appropriate staff member/team. I think Wikia already knows about the gibberish in source mode problem; but then again, my memory is none too reliable. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 03:36, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I will see if I can write all the bugs I find, but I will need some time to gather everything. I know there were a couple of other things, small bugs but still important. --Molokaicreeper 03:46, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * We're looking into it. If you have examples of other pages seeing the same issue (exploding when you switch to source mode), please let me know. 18:07, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

I normally edit in wikitext mode. But today I wanted to paste in a revised table of annotated links to replace a similar table on my user page. I enabled rich text editing in my preferences and pasted in the table of links.

The rich text editor messed up a bunch of video captions that I wasn't editing. Here is the diff.

I will have to salvage the good wikitext for the table of links, and then go back to default wikitext editing. I can then go back to the older revision and paste in the new table of links. Via the salvaged wikitext.

I wish it were possible to toggle between wikitext and rich text, but be able to do it from default wikitext. --Timeshifter 09:14, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
