VisualEditor/Portal/da

Welcome to the portal for VisualEditor, a new way of editing Wikipedia being developed by the Wikimedia Foundation. Editing Wikipedia has historically required people to learn wiki markup, a fairly complex markup language, even to make tiny corrections to an article. In 2001, this was acceptable; in 2013, it's driving contributors away. VisualEditor allows people to edit without having to learn wiki markup, and will, we hope, help encourage people to contribute to Wikipedia.

The full timetable for the VisualEditor launch can be found below — but by the end of July 2013, we expect this to be available for users on almost all Wikipedia projects.

Om VisualEditor
VisualEditor er en "visuel" måde at redigere Wikipedia på, et nyt system, som lader brugere bidrage uden at være nødt til at lære at bruge wikimarkup. Den har været tilgængelig som en valgfri "alpha"-version på den engelsksprogede Wikipedia siden december 2012 på 16 andre sprog siden april 2013 og på næsten alle andre sprog siden begyndelsen af juni. Som forklaret nedenfor forventer vi at gøre den tilgængelig i næsten alle Wikipediaer i slutningen af juli, idet vi begynder med den engelsksprogede Wikipedia 1. juli.

Hvis du er interesseret i at bruge VisualEditor, har vi en vejledning i, hvordan man gør samt en liste over almindelige tastaturgenveje. Hvis du er interesseret i at hjælpe os med implementeringen, er der en masse opgaver, du kan udføre. Vi vil jævnligt udsende statusopdateringer, som du kan få leveret direkte til din diskussionsside ved at tilmelde dig vores nyhedsbrev.



I øjeblikket har VisualEditor et antal fejl; dette kan ikke helt undgås. Hvis du støder på et problem skal du ikke tøve med at rapportere om det på feedback-siden. Der findes også nogle områder, hvor vi stadig skal have skabt helt nye faciliteter. De nuværende begrænsninger omfatter følgende:

hente lange, komplekse sider ind i VisualEditor. I fremtiden vil softwaren være noget hurtigere og vil tillade at hente større sider. redigere indholdet, men ikke tillade brugere at redigere strukturen eller tilføje nye elementer. Det gælder fx tabeller eller definitionslister. Udvidelser på dette område er en af de ting, vi prioriterer.
 * Langsom til at hente - det vil tage et stykke tid at
 * Underligt udseende - vi kæmper i øjeblikket med at få HTML-koden til at give det udseende, som du er vant til at se, så formatteringen kan se lidt (eller endda meget) mærkelig ud. Vi vil efterhånden bruge mere tid på det, men indtil nu har vores fokus været på at sikre, at VisualEditor ikke ændrer wikiteksten uventet.
 * Ufuldstændig redigering - nogle elementer af meget kompleks formatering vil blive vist og lade dig
 * 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 specialised 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.

How to help out
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 acclimatised to Wikipedia.
