VisualEditor/Portal


 * Incomplete editing — Some elements of complex formatting will display and let you edit their contents, but will not let users edit their structure or add new entries – such as definition lists. Adding features in this area is one of our priorities.


 * Most content pages, not talk pages — VisualEditor is only enabled for some namespaces. At most Wikipedias, VisualEditor can be used on articles, User:, File:, Help: and Category: pages.  VisualEditor is not currently available for Wikipedia: pages or any talk pages.

We recommend that users click "" before saving the page and ve-feedback>VisualEditor/Feedback|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 ve-feedback>VisualEditor/Feedback|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they are all built around the markup editor, and as VisualEditor evolves, the screenshots and tutorials will all become outdated. It would be very useful if people could ve-help>Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Portal/Help|update help pages, based on ug>Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User guide|our tutorial to using VisualEditor.


 * Adding TemplateData to templates — VisualEditor features a nice template editor, which is described in more detail on our ug>Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User guide|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 td-tutor>Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Portal/TemplateData tutorial|a guide to doing so, along with a td>Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Portal/TemplateData|list of the most important templates to add it to.


 * Help your community — See the beta>Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/VE_as_the_main_editor|list of useful ways to help your local community to optimize the editing experience with the visual editor.


 * 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 spend some time new-users>Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Portal/New users|on the help desk, or in the IRC help channel, to help these newcomers become acclimatized to Wikipedia.
