Topic on VisualEditor/Feedback

The other day at cawiki it came out the idea of defaulting the redlink creation to the visual editor instead of the code editor, to make it easier for novices to edit those links. Is this possible?

Hi. The related task is tagged as "Epic", although it also indicates the team will work on it in the next quarter. There's a quick workaround though, your community may try and change those messages which appear when a user lands on a non existing page, for example, so that they start the page in VE (you can see how this was done at plwiki, the first link allows page creation in VE). I see you already changed a Mediawiki message, see the box at the top of this page to learn about the others. Hope this helps,
