  • T139152: Add a feature to allow searching and importing/copying content from sister projects
    • Task
    [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:T6ukmc98uuun7ydc | Noé describes it well here ]]. The TL;DR is, make something ("Insert Quote/Attestation") similar to the Insert Media dialog, which looks for a certain word/sentence on sister projects like Wikisource, Wikiquote etc., allows to select the snippet where the word/sentence was found, and to have it added to the article as an quote/attestation of use with a link to the whole source document. Was also [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Wiktionary/Add_%22Insert_Attestation%22_to_VisualEditor | suggested during Community Wishlist Survey 2017 ]] and ends up with 32 supports vote.
  • T139076: Deliver multilingual June newsletter for VE

  • T138914: Consider changing the highlight color in the Find and Replace tool
    • Task
    Ziko says that he's using VE's Search function looking for the first time a certain word is mentioned, so that he can add a link to it. The green highlight color behind occurrences of the word makes it difficult to figure out whether the marked text is already linked or not, though. So can that color be changed to something different perhaps?
  • T137903: Review documentation about the visual editor at Meta

  • T137831: Can't paste content from Gmail where text contains a link whose href contained an accented character ("Discussion Wikipédia:Flow")
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    I have a draft with very basic content, a few lines of text plus links. I am unable to paste that in VE (tried it in Chrome and Opera, private and public wikis alike): nothing happens after I do so, sometimes the Save button will be disabled, sometimes I won't be able to say because I didn't add anything to the page. Copy/pasting such content on, say, Gdocs, copying it again and pasting it in VE doesn't make a difference (assuming doing this made sense at all). If you're interested in digging into this, let me know, I can forward you this mail- it was meant for internal consumption, so this is all I can do.
  • T137773: Can't extend backwards selection in IE11
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    User:李4 reports: // In the visual editor, if I hold down Shift and then press the right arrow key, I'm able to select the text from left to right, just like any GUI text editor. However if I hold down Shift and then press the left arrow key, I'm unable to select the text from right to left: the cursor won't go past the current letter.

  • T137571: Phases 2, 3 in building a volunteer, cross-wiki taskforce to help with the community side of VE work
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    Building a "hub" of tech-savvy and keen community members who could help their wikimedian fellows all over the world to get the same rewarding visual editor experience they have. This task is about https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/VE_as_the_main_editor . //The second phase is about checking with these people what worked for them. Did they use existing documentation, or are there gaps in it we need to take care of? Did they create additional documentation to help themselves and others? (If so, we'll want to list those resources.) Did they perhaps seek help from someone else as well? The existing checklist will be scrutinized at this point. The third phase may be about actually covering gaps (especially documentation ones. I don't think we have learning patterns docs about VE, for example, and that's something we may consider creating).//
  • T137424: On SET wikis/"Remember my last editor", section edit links say "Edit" even when they mean "Edit source"
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    When the last editor used is WT, I expect the section edit links to also say "Edit source", just like the top one for the page does. If this is intentional, it's confusing: I didn't know what to expect when I clicked on one of those links.
  • T137405: Template Sfn sometimes placed on its own line (wrongly), sometimes inline
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Sfn is supposed to be placed right next to the sentence you want to reference. For some reason though when adding it unwanted lines are added as well, so that it looks [[ https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E4%B8%AD%E5%8E%9F%E4%B8%AD%E4%B9%9F&diff=60014805&oldid=59977040 | like this ]], rather than [[ https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:VisualEditor_sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=60018596 | like this ]]. This seems to happen at en.wp and at ja.wp as well (where the issue was reported). I'm not familiar enough with the template to find out why sometimes I manage to [[ https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:VisualEditor_sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=60018596 | add it correctly ]], and sometimes [[ https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3AVisualEditor_sandbox&type=revision&diff=60018810&oldid=60018596 | I don't ]] (same browser, OS, page etc.). I can say that even when it's added correctly, it will look "wrong" on the page, but it will show up fine both while reviewing changes and saving.
  • T137228: "Remember my last editor" seems to behave inconsistently?
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    (I had reported this [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136421#2334512 | previously ]] as well, but it probably deserves a separate task.) At zh-yue, setting is Remember my last editor, I launch VE, then start hitting Special:Random. Click on Edit, VE launches, hit Special:Random again (without closing VE). Sometimes it takes a few attempts, sometimes it take multiple tries, but in the end I'll always land on some article which will show me "Edit source" rather than Edit (and I obviously haven't switched). I do not see a warning message. The above is how I manage to reproduce the behaviour. I have no idea if this also occurs while editing more "regularly". As of July 2017, looks like the same thing, or a very similar one, is reported at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Ttle85qn8vj8o9ml for pa.wp . However, because not many details are provided, and I can't reproduce any of that, I don't know that we can diagnose anything here.
  • T136210: We need a different keyboard shortcut to switch to the visual editor while editing wikitext
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    The original purpose of this task was to request that //meta//-E///meta//-V worked as shortcuts to switch editors while editing a page. However, a few days later, looks like these 2 shortcuts are already providing such a switch functionality. The problem is that [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Keyboard_shortcuts#MediaWiki_shortcuts | WT users expect that hitting meta//-V while editing triggers the "Show changes" action ]] instead. I do not have a suggestion for a better key. See also T54701 and T26977.
  • T135534: "Editing tabs" dialog shows up again if you click edit after saving without reloading the page
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    Cleared prefs to test. I'm in Chrome latest version, Win8. 1) Edited my user page. Chose "Use the editor I chose last". 2) Saved the edit. 3) Edited that page again. 4) The editing tabs dialog popped-up again (flashing, twice). Seen at en.wiki and test2 as well.
  • T135391: Interaction with gadget "Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page"
    • Task
    This probably doesn't belong here, but even if it gets closed it's probably easier to find this info here than on wiki. On en.wp and ja.wp, in a "remember my last editor" setting (not sure elsewhere), if the gadget "Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page" is enabled, clicking on the resulting link may cause: 1) the page to load, but the focus is actually at the bottom of it (can be seen better in long articles) 2) the loaded editor to be WT or VE without any apparent reason why it should be one or the other (repeated tests via Special:Random have shown that, starting with VE as the default editor, it will launch it for several times in a row, then open WT out of the blue and keep opening the following ones in WT. At en.wp it seems like BLPs always start in WT, but it can also happen randomly as well.)
  • T135387: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined" and VE not loading when repeatedly switching back and forth between read and edit modes
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    On any Wikipedia (including SET when "show both editor tabs" is the chosen editing preference), any browser AFAICT (I'm reproducing in Win8): 1) hit the "Edit" link for a section; 2) VE loads correctly. Now hit the Back button in the browser; 3) hit that "Edit" link again; 4) observe that VE doesn't load (progress bar is complete, but nothing happens). Console says "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined". Reported by [[ https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E3%83%90%E3%82%B0%E3%81%AE%E5%A0%B1%E5%91%8A#.E5.85.88.E6.97.A5.E5.B0.8E.E5.85.A5.E3.81.95.E3.82.8C.E3.81.9F.E3.83.93.E3.82.B8.E3.83.A5.E3.82.A2.E3.83.AB.E3.82.A8.E3.83.87.E3.82.A3.E3.82.BF.E3.81.AE.E4.B8.8D.E5.85.B7.E5.90.88.E3.81.AB.E3.81.A4.E3.81.84.E3.81.A6 | editors at ja.wiki ]].
  • T135105: Flagged Revisions marks as reviewed revisions for which no diff has been shown
    • Task
    (Feel free to improve the title. I'm just reporting from de.wiki:) How to reproduce: *go to some article in which the current version is not sighted *make an edit to the article using Visual Editor, set checkmark to the option //Sichte die letzten Änderungen// and save the edit *now the message appears: //1 Änderung dieser Version ist noch nicht gesichtet//. with the diff from the last sighted to the new current version and with the button Sichten at the bottom of the page. (There should be a button //Entsichten//) *when you look at the article history (in a new browser tab) you can see that the new current version is sighted, but the second most recent version is left not sighted (well done) *click the button //Sichten// *now the second most recent version is sighted too, although we haven't seen the diff to this version, but to the new current version. And there is no need to sight the second last version. --Diwas, 00:35, 9. Mai 2016 (CEST)
  • T134975: Re-using a reference is slow for articles with very large numbers of references
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    Take a long-ish article - Obama, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_metal, you choose. Try and re-use a reference. Here's what I observed -albeit sporadically: 1) it takes a lot for the Cite menu to even come up; 2) after searching for a reference to re-use, click on it: it isn't added to the article, and you can't go past the search results; 3) clicking on Cancel also doesn't seem to accomplish any effect. After point 2 in a different attempt I tried to click on a random link on the page - that worked, in that the dialog disappeared and the reference was where I meant to place it. Another user says they [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback#Slow.2Funresponsive_script_error_when_generating_citations | get a warning from Firefox about a script being slow/unresponsive while trying to add a citation ]].
  • T134968: Search results in Cite's Re-use dialog don't seem to make sense
    • Task

    I'm editing [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&oldid=719486829&veaction=edit | a revision of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama ]]. I'm curious to see if typing a number in Cite's Re-use search box brings up a reference with that number. It does, but other references also appear which don't seem to contain that number anywhere. For example, when typing "180", references numbered 119, 176, 180 and 188 appear as a result. 180 is the match; by looking at the code, 176 has the number "180" in its URL; but I can't figure out what the other 2 have to do with it.

  • T134269: Allow editors to add and see existing soft hypen (­) non-visible characters where needed
    • Task
    Don't be SHY! (sorry for the joke). German-speaking editors have requested the ability to add a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_hyphen in VE. They use it within those typically super-long word compounds like //Donau­dampf­schifffahrts­gesell­schafts­schiff//: example in [[ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe:Bilder#Legende_bei_schmalen_Bildern | documentation for picture captions ]] - [[ https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bahnhof_des_Jahres&action=edit&section=1 | example for long words inside tables ]] (//"Look at the word „Großstadtbahnhof“ in Bahnhof des Jahres for example, which will be written as one word as long as there's enough space, but broken into two if necessary due to size limitations."//). I'll leave it to you (probably to Design people, actually) to figure out if this should be possible by typing or via the special characters menu. I thought pasting could work, but it doesn't.
  • T134147: Facilitate deployment of the visual editor at the Japanese Wikipedia
    • Task

    During the last months, several announcements have been delivered there about the upcoming deployment of the visual editor. After soliciting feedback for months, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109818 was resolved. The last round of feedback (from en.wp editors who know Japanese) has also been positive. I posted several notes to "village pumps" and users' talk pages last week. The main announcement, which includes instructions about the single edit tab system, has been translated.

  • T130533: Q4 personal goal: start building a volunteer, cross-wiki taskforce to help with the community side of VE work
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/VE_as_the_main_editor . At the end of the day, when the visual editor is fully developed, it is still not useful as it should be until the "community side" of the work, detailed at the page above, has started on each wiki. Can we build a "hub" of tech-savvy and keen community members who could help their wikimedian fellows all over the world to get the same rewarding visual editor experience they have? What we know: *smaller communities have capacity problems; *volunteers never spare themselves when they figure out what a problem is and what the steps are to fix it. "If you build it, they will come": if we give them good starting points, they'll build awesomeness on those. At some point, I will no longer be involved in VisualEditor work. Before then, I must make sure communities have the "tools" they need. I feel that this task is strongly tied to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Technical_Collaboration/Strategy#How_we_succeed . **Plan:** Phase 0: improving the current checklist page, and making room for "expert" names. First phase is "just" about **getting people to list themselves**. It involves finding them with on-wiki and mailing lists communications. I'd like everyone to add themselves to every category that applies. It will start by the end of June. Page created at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/Community_Taskforce . **Jul-Sep goal: **The second phase is about **checking with these people what worked for them**. Did they use existing documentation, or are there gaps in it we need to take care of? Did they create additional documentation to help themselves and others? (If so, we'll want to **list those resources**.) Did they perhaps seek help from someone else as well? The [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/VE_as_the_main_editor | existing checklist ]] will be scrutinized at this point. The third phase may be about actually **covering gaps** (especially documentation ones. I don't think we have learning patterns docs about VE, for example, and that's something we may consider creating). **Oct-Dec goal: **The fourth phase should be about **presenting new and/or revisited resources** to communities which should benefit the most from all of this work (the ones without much capacity, which are those I hope to serve with this task). The fifth phase will be about **checking whether people find those resources easier to use now**. It may still be that they don't manage to get much work done, but at least we need to make sure that there's an established path for them, that may be reused/adapted for other products as well.
  • T130400: (Actually) Add wikitext support for citoid for automatic reference insertion
    • Task
    From T94223: > The [[ http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid | Citoid extension in conjunction with the citoid service]] allows users of [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor | VisualEditor]] (a what-you-see-is-what-you-get way of editing wikis) to insert references automatically by inserting a link to a book, journal article, newspaper article, or other identifiers like DOI and PubMed IDs.

TL;DR 1 - Adding a ref from the NYTimes results in the following parameters to be filled automatically, URL, TITLE, LAST, FIRST, DATE, LAST2, FIRST2, NEWSPAPER, ISSN, ACCESS-DATE. 2 - From The Economist: URL, TITLE, NEWSPAPER, ISSN, ACCESS-DATE 3 - From Spiegel Online: URL, TITLE, WEBSITE, ACCESS-DATE The first 2 result in a Cite news template, the latter in a Cite web one. Now, the ref generated with the first source looks good - although I'll note that Cite news on en.wiki has almost 100 parameters, so I still expected the ref to be more detailed than it currently is. The second one is a bit meh - it lacks the date (which is available in the article, while authors' names aren't, AFAICT). The third one is probably the most disappointing one, because I can't tell the difference from, say, another random site which does not have a Zotero translator AFAIK (compare with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AElitre_%28WMF%29%2FSandbox&type=revision&diff=710028061&oldid=710015754|The Mirror]]: actually in this case I even get the authors' names). Just reporting to make sure this is a mere flaw in Zotero's translators.

  • T128284: SET preferences broken at huwiki?
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    Chrome 48.0.2564.116 m in Win 8. The Disabling VE temporarily option doesn't work. Random page (after choosing that option) only shows the Edit tab; if I try to switch immediately from the button on the toolbar, an empty page will load (only the title is shown), and I can't edit it. Only workaround: doing something minor while in VE, just to prompt the Edit button, //then// hitting the Switch button and //keeping// changes. Other SET options when VE is enabled also don't work; the Remember one won't remember, the 2 tabs don't appear, etc. EDIT: I get weird things in FF as well while logged in, so editing the task accordingly.

  • T127942: Consider alternative wording/improve positioning for "You have switched to source editing" pop-up

    Oliv0 at hu.wiki reports that he saw the pop-up while switching to WT, however, he didn't pay much attention to its location and dismissed it before reading the bit he needed to see, "You can switch back to visual editing at any time by clicking on this icon.", and hence was clueless as to how to switch editor later. He therefore suggests that the message focuses on the potential action ("this is the icon you need to click to go back to VE"), rather than on the "status update".
  • T127829: Offer help/documentation in a sidebar
    • Task
    {F3406712} I installed [[ https://github.com/tomayac/wikipedia-tools-for-google-spreadsheets#installation | this add-on ]] yesterday and I thought that I'd like to get a similar sidebar in the visual editor showing me documentation and examples, with a drop-down which allows me to select the topic I'm interested in. Having to leave the page to reach the current, extremely long user guide is meh, and also doesn't allow to surface well some of the things the specific community is interested in highlighting.

[[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71407#1995155 | It has been suggested ]] that the Esc key closes the dialog, but no progress was made in determining whether that should also mean canceling the action or not. Currently, hitting ESC right after choosing a link target doesn't close the link tool - it prompts the "Are you sure?" dialog to leave the page entirely. What about the Tab key instead?
  • T127732: Better process to change interface messages without damaging documentation in which they're mentioned
    • Task
    Recently a lot of interface messages related to the visual editor's citing system had to be moved. This meant that user guides on mediawiki.org displayed several red links, and had to be fixed manually. The work in itself isn't difficult, just boring and cumbersome, that is, more worth a bot's time. I don't think a real process for how to change those messages on translatewiki.net without messing up elsewhere exists.

Observe: you need to dismiss a first pop-up, the one which welcomes you to editing; you may get another pop-up which you probably don't really want to see now, which is the "Try Content Translation" one; you can also see yet another pop-up on the background, the one which warns you that you followed a link to a page that doesn't exist etc. It's possible you don't need to actually click on it to dismiss it though; you finally notice the blue dot's animation under the link button.

Here are a few facts/data points/remarks. * VE has the same config there as on most other big wikis (primary tab, opt-out); * There are not so many templates with TemplateData (around 130, although this includes common Cite templates, Infobox person); * Citoid is enabled, and only provides basic info with //pt// news sites; * There is no local documentation about the product (only a redirect to mediawiki.org's one); * The guides on mw.org are not entirely translated (currently, the user manual basically is - although it's at 76% for //pt-br//; when you look at all the VE-related documentation,// pt// is at 58% and //pt-br// at 75%); * The interface itself is translated almost entirely; * VE is not mentioned or promoted in local help pages (except for a few tutorial pages with less than a dozen views in 90 days each); * VE is not mentioned or promoted in interface messages (i.e., after looking for an article which doesn't exist); * the local feedback page isn't very active and never really hosted conversations around the product (although, let's thank again @He7d3r for all his efforts there); * CLs haven't engaged in a particular way with this community and haven't held specific initiatives; * A couple of instructors involved in Education programs at pt.wp seem to be using it (cc @FloorKoudijs: maybe they're recommending it in class?). Details on these initiatives (and others which may be initiated by community/chapters/user groups etc. like edit-a-thons) are much welcome; * Finally, VE is also much used at pt.books, where it's in opt-out mode (95 out of 500 edits made with it to mainspace pages as of a random check minutes ago); * pt.wiki is "[[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Metrics_and_activities_meetings/Quarterly_reviews/Editing,_October_2015#VisualEditor | mostly edited from Global South ]], in contrast to earlier concerns the VE would be only usable for GN people with state of the art computers".

Having access to this information since the very first time a problem is reported is invaluably helpful to those who must triage feedback. No matter how many times and in how many places it is requested to provide such details, most of the times (when feedback is given in free form instead) it will be necessary to follow up by asking the users the basic info to reproduce the issue - and this is not just true for casual feedback givers, unfortunately.

    A request has been made at de.wp that the special characters panel "remembers", and shows prominently, the last chars an editor has added to articles. I think this had been requested in the past as well, possibly on the mediawiki.org related thread.
  • T110597: Recurring checks for Citoid's status
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    T93800 caused Citoid to be missing from 3 big wikis yesterday. While there has been some progress investigating the issue, I believe that until we find a solution, checking on the 17 wikis which have it enabled should be done at least once daily. I'll try to update this task accordingly, and if one day I can't do it, anybody can actually do that on my behalf: it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes, after the first time. Useful links ([[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid#cite_note-2 | source for the language codes ]]): # https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit # https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit Instructions: - click on each link; - check the "Cite" button in the toolbar, [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VisualEditor_citoid_Cite_button.png | it must look like this ]] (the word may appear in local language of course); - now **if it doesn't look like in the pic, and if clicking on it [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VisualEditor_-_Editing_References_-_Cite_Pulldown.png | the former Cite pulldown menu ]] appears, rather than [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VisualEditor_Citoid_Automatic_tab.png | the current dialog ]], please alert VE people**; -- ping Krinkle, James F. in #mediawiki-visualeditor; -- if you don't get any reply in some minutes, please report the outage at T93800; -- if you still don't hear from anyone after a few mins, feel free to apply the workaround explained at the top of that task. Please report below every time you perform the check. Thanks for your support ;) FYI, James F. finds reasonable checks made after [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments | MediaWiki train deployments ]].

  • T105010: "Clear styling" seems to work intermittently
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    This option seems to work fine when triggered by the related keyboard shortcut; it is always greyed out for me in the menu when I put the cursor, say, on a wikilink, or select the word by double-clicking on it, while seems to be enabled if I select the entire word by clicking at the beginning or at the end, holding down and then dragging. Ed is looking into it. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89547 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101212 may or may not be related.

  • T102919: Issue with typing after a new link in Firefox
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    In Firefox, creating a wikilink on the last word of a line will mean everything you type after that word shows up as blue, as if it was part of the newly-made link. However, this is not really the case, as hitting Enter, Save etc. will make the text look normal again.
  • T102914: Wall of code in <gallery> tag

I inquired about this briefly in the IRC channel and Krenair provided the following evaluation: 16:16 <•Krenair> yeah so the gallery which has the filenames works, the gallery which tries to directly embed the image does not 16:17 <Elitre> so all that data:image/jpeg;base64,/etc etc mess, how did it end up there? 16:18 <•Krenair> I wonder if that's what happens in some browsers when the user tries to drag an image in directly 16:19 <•Krenair> ultimately the contents of that gallery tag is directly user-controlled 16:19 <•Krenair> so I think valid answers may include 'the user typed it in' or 'the user pasted it in'
  • T101728: [Regression?] Disambiguation pages not showing up among page targets in link inspector
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    I'm trying to make a link on the word "Europe". First 4 results in the inspector make sense. The 5th result is "Castle". The 6th result is a redirect to "European Castle". I can't see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe_(disambiguation) anywhere (which may be intended because one shouldn't need to link to a disambiguation page so often) and I'm annoyed that I have to type the space, the opening bracket and the letter "d" to make it appear. The advantage of the VE link inspector is that you can right click on the target and open it in another tab to check it. I feel it necessary for me to check that disambig page at this point because of the currently short list of targets. There are at least 8 different pages starting with "Europe" plus a label in brackets. Even if I type "Europe (", I can only see 5 of them. I would need to check the disambig page to know what I actually need to type inside the brackets to finally get to my target.
  • T100533: Opening the link inspector with text selected immediately shows search results for that text, but only the first time
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    I'm testing this after a report on de.wiki; the first time I select a word or group of words and then open the link inspector, I'm presented with the list of results for that search. But if I do it again, I'll have to click on the search field instead for results to show up.
  • T100018: References created with Citoid need a save before being re-usable
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    I thought the problem was due to [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T53689#1303556 | the reference being added to a table ]], but further comments on de.wiki suggest this happens elsewhere when Citoid is used to generate the reference.
  • T100011: MediaWiki's feedback tool interface is confusing, and may make it unclear how to submit reports
    • Task
    • ·Closed
    When a user leaves feedback in the related tool in VE, it may not occur to him/her that ticking the User Agent box is what will make the Submit button active. They may think that "File a technical task" is what they need to click on to save their comment, and lose everything they wrote by being sent to Phabricator instead.

  • T100008: Allow editors to see the Welcome message again

    Who's a fan of messages which you can only see once and then you can never go back to them after you dismiss them? (Related to T99963.)
  • T99963: Harmonize some warning messages

    ATM, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Visualeditor-dialog-beta-welcome-content and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Visualeditor-beta-warning provide different instructions about how to switch to source editing; the former has the updated information, but once it's dismissed it can't be brought up again. I think that work on this should precede what's planned for T89072.
