Help:Source editor

The Source Editor is a type of editor that allows editing of pages via wikitext or some HTML.


 * To switch from VisualEditor to a source editor, use the toolbar menu.
 * If you wish to always edit in source mode, you may wish to switch your preferences to the source editor. You can also set the default source editor you would like to use.

Versions
Currently, there are 2 versions of Source Editor available:
 * VisualEditor - source mode, also known as the 2017 wikitext editor.
 * Source editor, also known as the 2010 wikitext editor.
 * ReadEditor, also know as the 2021 wikitext editor.

2017 wikitext editor
The 2017 wikitext editor (VisualEditor - source mode) is the 'source mode' of VisualEditor. It has the same toolbar as the VisualEditor in visual editing mode, and allows quick switching between the visual editing and source editing.

2010 wikitext editor
The 2010 wikitext editor (Source editor) has a simplified interface and toolbar. This editor is loaded in some locations where the 2017 wikitext editor is not available.
