 * ¿Qué ye VisualEditor?
 * VisualEditor ye una iniciativa de desendolcu de software de la Fundación Wikimedia que permitirá a la xente editar páxines en MediaWiki ensin necesidá de deprender la sintaxis de testu wiki. Con VisualEditor, dar formatu a les páxines funcionará de mou mui asemeyáu a un procesador de testu – mentanto s'edita, el testu verase igual que se verá dempués de guardar.


 * Por qué se fai esti cambiu?
 * La torga más grande pa facer la primera edición y, poro, la torga más grande pa tomar el camín que pue llavar a dalguién a convertise nun miembru productivu y espertu de la comunidá, ye'l complicáu llinguax de marques wiki qu'usa l'antigua ventana d'edición. P'aumentar el númberu d'exitos nos primeros intentos d'edición, necesitamos un sistema d'edición meyor. Por favor, llea la esplicación más llarga pa más detalles.


 * ¿Cuándo s'activará VisualEditor na mio wiki?
 * Esta ye la programación actual (pue cambiar):
 * 24 de xunu: Prueba A/B na Wikipedia n'inglés. VisualEditor activase de mou predetermináu pal 50% de les nueves cuentes rexistraes.
 * 1 de xunetu: Despliegue de VisualEditor na Wikipedia n'inglés, disponible pa tolos usuarios con sesión aniciada.
 * 15 de xunetu: Despliegue de VisualEditor na Wikipedia n'inglés, disponible pa usuarios anónimos y usuarios con sesión aniciada.
 * 24 de xunetu: Despliegue de VisualEditor pa de, es, fr, he, it, nl, pl, ru, y sv.wikipedia, disponible pa los usuarios con sesión aniciada.
 * 29 de xunetu: Despliegue de VisualEditor pa de, es, fr, he, it, nl, pl, ru, y sv.wikipedia, disponible pa tolos usuarios.
 * Segunda metá d'agostu: Despliegue de VisualEditor pa toles demás wikis de Wikipedia, disponible pa tolos usuarios, menos unes poques wikis (como la Wikipedia en chinu) onde VisualEditor inda nun funciona.
 * Anguaño, el plan ye desplegar primero nos sitios de Wikipedia, y desplegalu nos proyeutos hermanos pa finales d'avientu de 2013, pola complexidá d'algunos de los cambios necesarios.


 * Why are you deploying the software so quickly? It doesn't look ready.
 * The software definitely isn't finished; it has features to be added, and we're certain that after deploying it we'll find bugs. That's not because it's bad software, or because it's not ready, it's just because it's software to start with. Bugs are inevitable: MediaWiki itself is 10 years old, and we are still finding things that could be better, or things that are unexpectedly broken. If we wait until the VisualEditor is completely bug-free to enable it, it will never be enabled.
 * Ultimately, the best way to detect bugs is to have as many people as possible looking at, using and playing with the software. While we appreciate any bugs will be disruptive in the short-term, they will be fixed, and this deployment is what lets us identify them as things that need fixing.


 * I found an issue with the VisualEditor. How can I tell you to fix it?
 * If you're willing and able, please report the issue in bugzilla in the "VisualEditor" product. Many wikis also have a wiki page dedicated to feedback about VisualEditor; see the list on Wikidata. There is also a central feedback page on mediawiki.org.


 * How do I disable VisualEditor?
 * To continue to edit the wikitext directly, simply click the "Edit source" button instead of "Edit". On section edit links, you can open the classic wikitext editor for that section by clicking "edit source" instead of the regular "edit" link.


 * A feature is missing in VisualEditor. How do I ask you to add it?
 * Some features are currently being developed or planned (like formatting images, adding columns and rows to tables, and editing mathematical formulae). The Roadmap and the Wikimedia engineering draft goals for 2013–2014 provide some additional information as well. If you can't find any reference to the new feature you'd like to suggest, please submit it using the same process used to report an issue.


 * Will it still be possible to edit using wikitext after VisualEditor becomes the primary editing interface?
 * Yes. While the VisualEditor will become the default editing environment, a method for editing the underlying “source” text will continue to exist. There are no plans to remove the “Edit source” option.


 * Can I use familiar Wikimarkup like  and  in VisualEditor?
 * No. Instead, please use the nifty template and linking features. See VisualEditor User guide for more about how to use VisualEditor.


 * Why is my browser not supported?
 * Building a modern editing interface for Wikipedia and its sister wiki is a technical challenge, but it's possible using modern web technologies and standards. Unfortunately, some browsers don't support many of the features we need for VisualEditor. We're doing our best to support the most common browsers: VisualEditor works well with the most recent versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari, and support for Internet Explorer 9 is coming very soon. However, trying to work around the limitations of older browsers would divert resources from improvements that would benefit the majority of users. We encourage you to upgrade to a supported browser and, if you can't, to continue to edit using the source wikitext editor. (See VisualEditor/Target browser matrix for specific details.)


 * Are you worried by the potential for a large increase in vandalism?
 * One of the goals of the randomly-selected new user testing done in June on the English Wikipedia is to find that out. Realistically speaking, we think that those who come with the intent to vandalize are probably doing it now. It’s just as fast (if not faster) to hit the “Edit source” tab and blank a page using the wikitext editor as to do the same thing using VisualEditor.


 * Does VisualEditor work with Wikisource's ProofreadPage, or Wiktionary's templates, and other features that Wikipedia doesn't have?
 * VisualEditor is currently only enabled on Wikipedia sites, but we have designed it to be flexible enough to be used on all Wikimedia sites. After deploying to Wikipedia we will work to make sure VisualEditor works well with features specific to sister sites.


 * Can I install VisualEditor on my personal wiki outside Wikimedia?
 * Yes, at your own risk. The VisualEditor and Parsoid extensions are available for download but they're still experimental; note that Parsoid requires nodeJS. If you do install and use them, please let us know what worked and what didn't in Bugzilla.


 * Where do I go to learn more about using VisualEditor?
 * Please see the VisualEditor User guide.


 * Does VisualEditor make automatic fixes to pages?
 * In most cases, VisualEditor will not make changes to formatting on lines that are not being directly edited. In cases where markup already on the page is handled incorrectly (for example, with tables that are not closed), it may attempt to correct these.


 * My question isn't here. Where do I ask?
 * You can ask on the VisualEditor feedback page on your wiki (see the list on Wikidata) or on the central feedback page on mediawiki.org.
