I get a "{{Article}} : paramètre « périodique » manquant" error. When I click on Modifier, I'd expect the field for the required parameter to show up immediately in the inspector, rather than having to look for it. If I try this on test2 (same URL) I don't get the same error, so it must be related to TemplateData. This is due to the fact that these url is coming back as itemType blogPost, but being cast to Article, which does not have a way to translate the field "blogTitle" to "periodique". This is a very general problem having to do with the way we translate between our types and templateData types, and unfortunately is not easily resolvable without creating new templates for those types or adding expanding the way templateData works.

    Basic steps: [x] Wait until that page gets converted to Flow. [x] Wait until it's possible for mediawiki.feedback to post to Flow on a different wiki. [x] Wait until it's possible for VisualEditor's use of mediawiki.feedback to post a different wiki. [x] Message all affected wikis: sl, min, ru, fo, da, el, et, id, kk, mr, ms, no, ro, sco, sk, sq, tl, vi, ca, pt, pl, uk, zh. [x] Change the configurations for the local wikis. [x] Redirect all the pages. Steps #4 and #5 are easily reversible, if any given small wiki wants to directly support their own page. Step #3 needs consensus that feedback can be given in any language if one doesn't feel like using English and/or posting to Phabricator directly. Editors should be aware though that Google Translate does an awful job when it comes to technical language, and may want to find an intermediary instead to make sure their message is properly understood and triaged. Once we centralize the feedback pages, we'll be watching how things go, and then re-evaluate the situation after a while.

    While testing for bug T76206, it seemed to me that when I tried to apply a wikilink to a word in a picture's caption, I needed to hit the toolbar icon or press CTRL-K twice, and only then the link inspector would show up. I actually think that you don't need to perform the action twice as if it didn't work the first time - it's just that is takes a bit longer for the inspector to show up.

    See video made by de.wp user:Gnom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm_WyFfMC1M "Trying to mark a big chunk of text in a Wikipedia article using Visual Editor, first with the shift and arrow keys, then with the mouse and a trackwheel, then with both combined. Windows 7 HP SP 1, Chrome 38.0.2125.122 m, Vector, 17 November 2014." I tested quickly with Chrome and FF. On the first one, while pressing Shift + arrow down, the selection works until I get to the last line I'm seeing on my screen, but the view doesn't scroll further down, so the action might still be working, but I just am not able to know it. (Shift + arrow up, from the bottom of the page, seems to work better instead). But, depending on the speed you hit Down, it might lose some of the selection. On FF instead instead the selection just stops working after the 3rd time or so you click on the up or down arrows. In both the browsers, clicking at the beginning of the article, holding Shift, then scrolling all the way down to the end dragging the right scrollbar with the mouse and clicking again after the last word at the bottom worked just fine (also the other way around, from bottom to top). I wouldn't know about other combinations such as Shift + Page Up/Down because I'm not entirely show of what should be the expected outcome there. -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: normal

    This can be seen by placing the cursor right at the beginning of any existing wikilinked word, then trying to add any kind of link. User's expectation is that this changes the wikilink target with no corruption. <<To reproduce this: * [https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Boys_band&veaction=edit Edit Boys band on frwiki] * In the history chapter, 4th paragraph, put the cursor before the S of the link to Super Junior * Click on link icon in the toolbar * Copy the URL <code><nowiki>https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.P</nowiki></code> in the link inspector and click Terminé * When previewing modifications, you can see that it has been replaced by <code><nowiki>[[B.A.P]] [[Super Junior|<nowiki/>]][[B.A.P|Super]] Junior</nowiki></code> which shows several problems: there's a link without text displayed, the existing link has been cut in two * And also, what is displayed in VE doesn't match at all what the result will be when saved: ** "Super" is displayed as an external link, but in the modifications preview, you see it's an internal link ** If you hover over "Super", both "Super" and "Junior" get underlined, but in the modifications preview, "Junior" is not inside the link ** "Junior" is displayed as an internal link, but in the modifications preview, you see it's now just text ** If you hover over "Junior", both "Super" and "Junior" get underlined, but in the modifications preview, "Junior" is not inside a link .>> Instructions by NicoV. -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: normal

He suggested that a right click could launch a menu which provides access to several options, from searching on a search engine in a different tab (to try to fix one) to pasting the {{dead link}} template.

S/he will place the cursor right after the word "Danimarca" on the second line and hit Canc. The pic suddenly disappears. (Right now there's a further bug 68708 which did lead to the image being removed without the user really noticing it: he noticed that the "Commando tedesco" line was not aligned properly and tried to fix that by going on that line and hitting Backspace. He didn't notice the pic getting highlighted and hit Backspace again, so the page lost focus and all he could see when he read the list again was that he had fixed it.) -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: normal

    TeamGale doesn't recall that in order to fill the edit summary field you need to click on that first - if she doesn't, the text she's typing, although the dialog is visible, ends up in the article instead (FF29, Win8). If I hit Save changes in any of my browsers (Chrome, FF and Opera) and don't click on the dialog, nothing happens if I keep typing. However I believe that if it is technically possible, the extra click shouldn't happen, there are no other places where the cursor should end up, and editors seeing it flashing might be encouraged to use the field a little more. -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: minor **See Also**: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64521

    This happen when you're editing a template, or, if you're just adding it instead, once you add the parameter as well. For example of very long names try to change Infobox settlement in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ames,_Iowa?veaction=edit . Since some of these parameters only differ at the very end, like Fram noted, the user can be confused when seeing what is apparently the same parameter just repeated. Some of them also lack a description, so the description alone wouldn't solve the problem.
