VE was recently deployed on the Portuguese Wikipedia, and introduces its usual bunch of errors and problems.
- This edit totally ruins the page.
- This edit makes the usual ref inside a header error, but also has some strange "span class" additions
- This has a strange ref addition as well
- here and then here, and here, it looks as if that ref under "Faixas" gets duplicated automatically, and testing it myself in VE, it turns out to be true...
In the first few hundred most recent VE edits on the Portuguese Wikipedia, I think I have seen one instance where the addition of a reference didn't cause or contain any problems. For simple edits, plain text, VE is somewhat usable, but as soon as you try anything different, you are likely to run into problems. That's rather depressing for something that has been tested and discussed for months and months now in live environments. Is it really wise to continue to bring this to more and more wikis? What benefit does that actually bring?
