Editing mathematical formulae
The formula editor is still under development, so on some wikis you may need to opt-in to the formula editor to use it. To do this, click on "Beta" in your personal tools in the top right of any wiki page, check the box next to "VisualEditor formulae editing", and press "Save" at the bottom of the page.



Editing poems and other special items
Some items, such as poems and musical scores aren't yet supported by VisualEditor. Until they are, you will need to edit the source wikitext directly if you want to alter or add these.
