2021 survey proposals that would be technically complex to implement
Thank you @Esanders for identifying these.
| Wishlist item | Comment |
|---|---|
| Citations/Integrate Template:Sfn into the visual editor | Very complex; WMDE may be looking into this. |
| Automatic visual editing of spanned templates | Probably requires substantial Parsoid work. |
| Editing/Allow table columns and rows to be freely movable in the Visual Editor | This would likely be difficult for non-VE engineers to implement. |
| Editing templates recursively | Probably requires lots of Parsoid work. |
| Citations/Allow editors to identify the specific text that is supported by a citation | Hard to do while supporting visual editing. |
Existing issues that surfaced in the 2021 survey
Thank you @Esanders for mapping these connections.
Done
- For all VE-related wishes that would be technically difficult/complex/impractical to implement, comments have been added to said wishes explaining said difficulty/complexity/impracticality.
