Extension:WikiEditor/en

The WikiEditor extension provides an improved interface (primarily a toolbar) for editing wikitext. It is the wikitext editing interface that Wikipedia started using in 2010 for desktop users, and so it is sometimes called the 2010 wikitext editor.

Installation

Note for IIS setup: By default, IIS doesn't understand  files. WikiEditor uses them to represents the icons. To fix this, you have to add the MIME type.

History
