VisualEditor/Portal/fo

Vælkomin til portalin fyri VisualEditor, ein nýggjur máti at rætta Wikipedia er blivin mentur av Wikimedia Foundation. At rætta og skriva á Wikipedia hevur søguliga kravt, at fólk lærdu seg wiki merkering (markup), sum er eitt rættiliga svert tilgongiligt markeringsmál, sjálvt um tey bara skuldu gera smærri rættingar til eina grein. Í 2001 varð hetta góðtikið; í 2013 er hetta tað sum drívur tey sum vilja rætta avstað aftur. VisualEditor loyvir fólki at rætta uttan at tey fyrst noyðast at læra seg wiki markeringar, og fer tað at, hopa vit, at hjálpa við til at eggja fólki til at geva sítt íkast til Wikipedia.

Full tíðartalva fyri aktiveringina av VisualEditor er at finna niðanfyri — men síðst í 2013, vænta vit, at hetta verður tøkt fyri allar brúkarar á næstan øllum Wikipedia verkætlanum.

Um VisualEditor
VisualEditor er ein "visuellur" máti at rætta og skriva Wikipedia, ein nýggj skipan sum letur fólk rætta uttan at tey fyrst noyðast at læra seg wiki-kotur. Hesin møguleiki hevur verið tøkur sum ein opt-in, tvs. at tað var valfrítt, í einari "alpha" útgávu á ensk-mæltu Wikipediu síðan desember 2012. á 16 øðrum málum síðan apríl 2013, og á næstan øllum øðrum málum síðan byrjanina av juni. Sum greitt frá niðanfyri, so vænta vit, at VisualEditor verður tøkur á nærum øllum Wikipedium við ársenda 2013, og byrja varð við enskmæltu Wikipediu hin 1. juli 2013.

Um tú ert áhugað/ur í at brúka VisualEditor, so hava vit eina vegleiðing til hvussu tú gert tað, eins og vit hava ein lista við vanligum snarvegum á knappaborðinum. Um tú ert áhugað/ur í at hjálpa okkum við íverksetanini av VisualEditor, so eru tað nokk av uppgávum, ið tú kanst taka tær av. Vit fara at kunngera status dagføringar javnan, sum tú kanst fáa leverað beinleiðis á tína kjaksíðu við at tekna hald til okkara tíðidabræv.



Í løtuni eru tað ávísir trupulleikar við VisualEditor; tað slepst ikki undan hesum. Um tú finnur onkran trupulleika, vinarliga bíða so ikki, men gev eina afturmelding um feilin á Afturmeldingarsíðuni. Tað eru eisini øki, har ið vit noyðast at gera heilt nýggjar funksjónir. Avmarkingar eru í løtuni hesar:


 * Heintar spakuliga — Tað fer at taka nakað av tíð fyri langar, kompleksar síður at heintast niður til VisualEditor. Í framtíðini fer ritbúnaðurin at gerast nógv skjótari, og fer at loyva loading av størri síðum.
 * Odd-looking — We currently struggle with making the HTML we produce look like what you are used to seeing, so styling and so on may look a little (or even very) odd. We're increasing the time we put into this, but so far our focus has been on making sure that VisualEditor does not alter wikitext unexpectedly.
 * Incomplete editing — Some elements of "complex" formatting will display and let you edit their contents, but not let users edit their structure or add new entries – such as tables or definition lists. Adding features in this area is one of our priorities.
 * Limited browser support — Right now, we have only got VisualEditor to work in the most modern versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari. It does not work in very old versions of each browser, and does not work in Opera, although a volunteer is working on Opera support. Internet Explorer currently does not work, but we aim to have support for the latest versions of IE by the time we release VisualEditor to a larger audience.
 * Articles and User pages only — VisualEditor will only be enabled for the article and user namespaces (so you can make changes in a personal sandbox). In time, we will build out the kinds of specialized editing tools needed for non-articles, but our focus has been on articles.

Because of these limitations, and inevitable bugs, we recommend that users click "" before saving the page, and report any problems they encounter.

Hvussu tú kanst hjálpa
For VisualEditor to be as good as it can be, there are a lot of things we need help with. Obviously, one big area is using the software, finding bugs and reporting them, but there are many other tasks as well. These include:


 * Updating help pages — All of our projects have help pages to make it easier for new users to contribute. Unfortunately they are all built around the markup editor, and when VisualEditor is launched, the screenshots and tutorials will all become outdated. It would be very useful if people could update help pages, based on our tutorial to using VisualEditor.
 * Adding TemplateData to templates — VisualEditor features a nice template editor, which is described in more detail on our help page. As you'll see if you use it on Wikipedia, some templates have named parameters and nice descriptions that make it easy to use. Others do not. This is because templates need "TemplateData" before this feature will work. If you're interested in adding TemplateData, we have a guide to doing so, along with a list of the most important templates to add it to.
 * Help new users — If the VisualEditor launch is successful, we will have a lot more new users than we are used to, and even though editing may be easier, working out how to interact with the community will still be hard. Please do try and spend some time on the help desk, or in the IRC help channel, to help these newcomers become acclimatized to Wikipedia.
