Topic on 2017 wikitext editor/Feedback

I tried it for about a month. There were no obvious bugs, but I had a few problems with it that caused me to stop using it:

  • Previews are hard to get.
In the standard wikitext editor, there is both the "Preview" tab that opens on the right and a large, easy to find "Preview" button at the bottom. In this version, one must click "Publish changes" before one gets an option to preview.
  • Edit summaries
In the standard wikitext editor, one just types in one's edit summary in the box at the bottom, and clicks "Publish changes". In this new one, one has to, once again, click the "Publish changes" button before being prompted to leave an edit summary.

Hiding previews and edit summaries is, I find, confusing and misleading. It also partially breaks , as the source mode button for the gadget is gone without a trace. Edward-Woodrow (talk) 21:52, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
