User blog comment:TranStanley/Updates to the Wikia Mobile experience/@comment-188432-20131206164654

Are any plans — even if very long term — to put the new VisualEditor on mobile? I'm thinking that if it's always going to be source here, and we're going to be talking 50% or more visitors from mobile, then we'll always have the need to educate users in how to use basic wikitext, right? And that being the case, are you at all concerned that the primary editing experiences are going to be so different in mobile and desktop versions of the site?

It's starting to concern me a little bit that we have so many "default" editing experiences, depending on where you go on Wikia. Some places it's VisualEditor, some places it's RTE, some places it's source, and in most social areas it's mini-editor, which isn't quite one thing or the other.

I know that RTE will eventually fall by the wayside, but that's still going to leave us with three default editing experiences. Do you worry that in the search for both simplicity and mobile access that we're actually making Wikia more complicated to edit?
