The visual editor is fantastic! I'm actually delaying a local writing contest for the participants to be able to use this editor, which is far easier to grasp.

I only failed to find a way to save the changes I've made. If it's supposed to be so, please ignore my question and remember that you're cool. ליאור (talk) 21:16, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki gets used in a lot of different environments and in many different ways. In areas where I have first-hand knowledge of its use outside of Wikipedia, there is a huge need for people to be able to paste information into the edit window from other sources, particularly Microsoft Word or Excel, and have the formatting stick. Currently, things like bold, bullets, headings don't convey at all and this leaves editors very frustrated. Having the ability to drop formatted text into the edit window is vitally important to the future of the MediaWiki baseline. 66.170.96.240 19:31, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Query

Will it be possible to completely disable this new edit toolbar? The new visual text editor appears to be much more browser resource intensive. In addition, it appears the visual editor doesn't convert wikicode. There is no easy way to add formatted text, making this more difficult to edit than the current system. The only way to add bullets/headings is through the toolbar at the top, drastically slowing down the speed someone can format an article. Alpha Quadrant   talk    22:37, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
