Help:VisualEditor/VE as the main editor/om

Here is a quick-start guide so that you can learn how to support your community while the visual editor becomes available by default to editors at your wiki.

Akkamitti akka hojii galmeessitu bari. Rakkoo yoo jiraate, yaada fuula waltajjii yaadaa saayitii kanaa irratti kennuunis gabaasuu dandeessa.
 * 1) The first step is involving your community to let them know the visual editor is now available for editors at your wiki —or may soon be— and to get further help with the following tasks.
 * 2) * You can start a conversation at your Village Pump in your language and then link to this page, or you can set up a sitenotice, or a watchlist notice for logged-in contributors.You may want to create a sort of "WikiProject", or anyway a page where the community members who are interested in supporting you can sign up.
 * 3) * Make sure that local documentation, especially pages read by new editors such as tutorials for newcomers, editing guides etc., mentions the visual editor and its documentation. You may want to provide a dedicated space (a sandbox in the main or in the User: namespace) where even logged-out editors can try the visual editor. Here is an example of how this was done on the English Wikipedia (note the ?veaction=edit string at the end of the URL).
 * 4) To help the developers prioritize their work, please file a task on Phabricator (like this one) to flag initial interest or to request an earlier enablement of the visual editor at your wiki, so they can assess any special needs your community may present. Members of your community can help you identify and build a list of "blockers" or others bugs and feature requests that they view as important. Add the list to the task you filed.
 * 5) Galmeen ijoo ta'e kan hiikkamuu qabu ni jira, irra caala Qajeelfama fayyadamaa fi walqunnama matasaati.  This page is also a good resource to consider.
 * 6) * Qacceee: odeeffannoo fi qajeelfama dabalataaf, Viizyuwaal'Ediiterii/WaltajjiiHiikaa ilaali.
 * 7) Gargaarsa:DaataaQajojii odeeffannoo akkamitti akka wiikii keenyarratti DaataaQajojii qajojiitti galchinu qabata. This is important because if templates do not include this data, they will be difficult to use inside the visual editor.
 * 8) * Qaccee: amma meeshaan gulaallii kan DaataaQajojii karaa salphaan galchuu dandeessisu dhufeera.
 * 9) * Start with templates that are often used in articles, such as citation and reference templates, as well as infoboxes. The MostTranscludedPages special page on your wiki might help you find out which are the most important templates you need to work on. The ones which are heavily used in the article namespace have the priority.
 * 10) * Tip: Check how other wikis did this. For example, here is the TemplateData for the   template at the English Wikipedia. If you recently imported    from that wiki and didn't customize it further, then copying and pasting their TemplateData will probably work for you.
 * 11) Qubee addaa afaan keef barbaachisaa ta'an tuuta qubeewwanii kan meeshaa walqabatan keessatti mul'atutti galchi.
 * 12) *Qaccee: waa'ee kanaa irra caala baruuf fuula qajeelchaa kan mediawiki.org ilaali.
 * 13) Enable Citoid on your wiki to make referencing easier and painless.
 * 14) *Tip: See the instructions page at mediawiki.org to learn more about this.
 * 15) Set up a customized menu with the most used   templates at your wiki. When Citoid is enabled, it will be available from the "" tab of the  dialog.
 * 16) *Qaccee: waa'ee kanaa irra caala baruuf fuula qajeelfamaa mediawiki.org ilaali.
 * 17) Check bugs reported on the local feedback page, if your wiki has one, to see if they are already known to developers.
 * 18) *  Reporting bugs or feature requests directly on Phabricator will catch the developers' attention more quickly. A mention of the report and any updates to it will also appear live in the #mediawiki-visualeditor IRC channel.
 * 1) Patrollers might want to keep an eye on the log of edits made with the visual editor for a few weeks. You can reach it from this link (you'll need to change language code and sister project name in the browser's address bar after you click on it!).
 * 2) * Qaccee: fayyadamtoonni muuxannoo qaban amma eeggamuu ol dogoggora hojjachuu danda'u, kunis hanga waan haara kanatti baranitti yeroo muraasa waan fudhatuufi.
 * 3) Keep yourself and your community up-to-date on news related to the visual editor.
 * 4) *Tip: Sign up for the multilingual bimonthly newsletter, and please add your name to the translators' list so that other people at your wiki will be able to read the bulletin in your language on community pages there.
