Enable VisualEditor at namespaces Wikipedia: and Wikiproiektu: at euwiki
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

After some years with the VisualEditor, and most learning materials using the VisualEditor as standard, it should be allowed also for Wikipedia: and Wikiproiektu: namespaces at Basque Wikipedia, as many student related projects are using these namespaces.

Thanks.

Hi @Theklan, You should start a discussion at the community portal, village pump, or other major discussion venue, and give time for a consensus to develop.

Yes, right. I have opened the discussion. Sorry for asking before time!

Gerges triaged this task as Low priority.

I'll start doing task tomorrow.

Hi @Theklan, I have concerns to activate the Visual Editor on a Project namespace, because this namespace may contain talk pages (Visual Editor does not handle the indentation used in discussions very well). Are you sure this is a namespace that does not contain talk pages?

In general terms, there are not discussions in these namespaces. The main exception is [[:eu:Wikipedia:Txokoa]], but we use flow there.

Ok! The Editing Team supports eu.wiki in enabling the visual editor in the Wikipedia: and Wikiproiektu: namespaces provided you are all understanding that the visual editor is not designed for use in these contexts and as such, the Editing Team will not prioritize fixing any emerges through use in these places.

Please see the Talk pages section of Help:VisualEditor/FAQ for more context.
