Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions

I tested over in the sandbox some wiki-formating, as signing with tildes was impossible in the thread (now) just below.

Some things are possible, some get automagically nowiki-tags around them. All gets weird once you edit, as this stupid software inserts tabs or such at the beginning some lines (it's already in some phab afaik, why this simple task is still not solved is beyond comprehension).

Ah, and one other thing: There is a link called "Vorschau" (Preview) beneath this box (yes, I don't use VE but the normal editor, without any buttons), but it doesn't really gets me to a preview, it just switches to VE, that's something completely different.

phab:T93851 is solved on beta.

As the whole Flow thingy is beta, what's that supposed to mean?

Sorry, it is en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org.

No SUL over there, so outside my scope.

WTF? During the VisualEditor preview the "is solved on beta" was displayed as if it were part of the link. I choose to be lazy and not have the trouble of fixing it, then I saved my reply and... BAM! the text was not part of the link anymore... Who understands that? o.O (Is reading minds a new feature of VE? If so it could really read my mind in a few more interesting cases...)

He7d3r: The VE link continuation bug is phab:T91285. (sidenote: As soon as we click [return/enter], it will also fix the rendering. I've been using that as a temporary workaround)

There are similar (often erratic) problems in many rich-text editors (e.g. googledocs/gmail). If I understand correctly... The few rich-text editors that have overcome this bug, have done so by breaking IMEs (thereby limiting support for non-latin character languages). VE aims to be the first to overcome this limitation. Supporting all the world's languages, makes everything exponentially harder.

HTH.
