Kirkburn, could you please confirm that everything I have said is true?


 * "The "No Preferences" choice is going to be eliminated. Which means that the first screen you will get when you edit a page will be either Visual or Source to work from. They won't be available in conjunction."

False. Please look at the see image to the right. This is how it looks under "No Preference" AND "Wikia's classic rich-text editor", and how it will continue to look (for the time being) once "No Preference" goes away if you choose "Wikia's classic rich-text editor".


 * "My entire commentary has been about the choice of having BOTH the Source Editor and Visual Editor available in conjunction when editing."

And the removal of "No preference" does not change it being available in conjunction. Please see the image, to the right, of the tabs allowing the use of both the source and visual editor with "Wikia's classic rich-text editor" selected in your preferences.


 * "Those Source and Visual tabs on the top/right that let you flow from one editing screen to the other under "No Preferences" are being eliminated for one, single preferred editing screen: Visual or Source."

Very very False, and this comment tells me that you do not understand my point, so here it is again: While they are eventually going away, one day, this discussion is regarding the effects of "No Preferences" being eliminated.
 * The Source and Visual tabs are NOT going away right now, and Wikia Staff have never said they are.

If you think this is incorrect, then read the thread, because 7 days ago, Kirkburn said: "you just need to change your editing preference to "Wikia's classic rich-text editor". This will give you the 'classic' editor experience with the visual and source mode tabs"

Please see the image to the right for an example screenshot of those tabs, taken while using the preference that Kirkburn advised.


 * "Nowhere in the new visual editor screen..."

What appears on the new visual editor is irrelevant, as this discussion is regarding the removal of "No preferences"


 * "Where is the return to "Visual Editor" selection on the source screen? Oh! That's right! You have to select "Apply changes" to return to it."

False. Again, look at the image to the right.
