The Editing Team in the Features department of Wikimedia Engineering works on extending and improving the editing tools used at Wikimedia – primarily VisualEditor and maintenance for WikiEditor. We exist to support new and existing editors alike; our current work is mostly on desktop, and we are working with Mobile to take responsibility for all editing across desktop, tablet and phone platforms.

Goals

 * VisualEditor to be the best content editor for all users
 * Make edits easy and simple for everyone
 * Make VisualEditor be the main, default editor for WMF wikis
 * Have VisualEditor be the default editor for MediaWiki sites
 * Make VisualEditor a great editor for non-MediaWiki systems
 * Encouraging an ecosystem of developers for VisualEditor

Status


Projects

 * VisualEditor, a stand-alone rich HTML editor with a separate deep integration into MediaWiki
 * WikiEditor (the main wikitext editor on Wikimedia wikis; mostly in maintenance)
 * The basic MediaWiki default wikitext editor inside  (purely maintenance)
