시각편집기(위키미디어 재단에서 개발하고 있는 위키백과를 편집하는 새로운 편집기) 들머리에 오신 것을 환영합니다. 위키백과를 편집하려면 아주 사소한 편집일지라도 역사적으로 위키 마크업(꽤 복작한 마크업 언어)을 배워야 했습니다. 2001년에는 이것을 이해할 수 있었습니다. 하지만 2013년에는 기여자를 몰아내고 있습니다. 시각편집기를 사용하면 위키 마크업을 배우지 않고도 편집할 수 있으며 그 결과로 바라건대 사람들이 위키백과에 더 많이 기여했으면 합니다.

시각편집기 도입 전체 일정표는 아래에서 찾아볼 수 있습니다. 2013년 7월 말까지 거의 모든 위키백과 프로젝트의 사용자들이 시각편집기를 사용할 수 있기를 바랍니다.

시각편집기 소개
The VisualEditor is a "visual" way of editing Wikipedia, a new system which will let people contribute without having to learn wikimarkup. It has been available as an opt-in "alpha" release on the English-language Wikipedia since December 2012, in 16 other languages since April 2013, and almost all other languages since the beginning of June. As explained below, we expect to make it available to almost all Wikipedias by the end of July, starting with the English-language Wikipedia on 1 July.

If you're interested in using the VisualEditor, we have a guide to doing so, as well as a list of common keyboard shortcuts. If you're interested in helping us with the deployment, there are lots of tasks you can do. We will be releasing regular status updates, which you can have delivered directly to your talk page by signing up for our newsletter.



At the moment, the VisualEditor has a number of bugs; this is inevitable. If you encounter an issue, please do not hesitate to report it on the Feedback page. There are also some areas where we still have to build entirely new features. Current limitations include:


 * Slow to load — It will take some time for long, complex pages to load into the VisualEditor. In the future the software will be a lot faster, and will allow for the loading of larger pages.
 * Odd-looking — We currently struggle with making the HTML we produce look like what you are used to seeing, so styling and so on may look a little (or even very) odd. We're increasing the time we put into this, but so far our focus has been on making sure that the VisualEditor does not alter wikitext unexpectedly.
 * Incomplete editing — Some elements of "complex" formatting will display and let you edit their contents, but not let users edit their structure or add new entries – such as tables or definition lists. Adding features in this area is one of our priorities.
 * Limited browser support — Right now, we have only got VisualEditor to work in the most modern versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari. It does not work in very old versions of each browser, and does not work in Opera, although a volunteer is working on Opera support. Internet Explorer currently does not work, but we aim to have support for the latest versions of IE by the time we release the VisualEditor to a larger audience.
 * Articles and User pages only — The VisualEditor will only be enabled for the article and user namespaces (so you can make changes in a personal sandbox). In time, we will build out the kinds of specialised editing tools needed for non-articles, but our focus has been on articles.

Because of these limitations, and inevitable bugs, we recommend that users click "" before saving the page, and report any problems they encounter.

How to help out
For the 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 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 when the VisualEditor is launched, the screenshots and tutorials will all become outdated. It would be very useful if people could update help pages, based on our tutorial to using the VisualEditor.
 * Adding TemplateData to templates — The VisualEditor features a nice template editor, which is described in more detail on our 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 a guide to doing so, along with a list of the most important templates to add it to.
 * 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 do try and spend some time on the help desk, or in the IRC help channel, to help these newcomers become acclimatised to Wikipedia.
