1.I have using mobile browser to edit wiki articles but VE is not working on mobile browser. (Uc Browser) m using desktop view not mobile view.
2.we are using sourceeditor as a long time. We not need VE but no.option how to diseble VE.

  1. We are hebit to click edit tab for editing. After clicking edit tab alway open VE. We need SE as default editor but no option.
  2. No description found how to edit with VE in local lang. So really contributors disturbed.
  3. Add template, Add link, add image, add ref n more VE is always disturbing.

Many reason so we need Sourceeditor as default aditor and VE optional. If you do not belive take survey otherwise many new contributor left.

There is no option to diseble VE

If a particular community wants VE disabled you should start a discussion on-wiki and involving that community.
