VisualEditor/Portal/fo

Vælkomin til portalin fyri VisualEditor, ein nýggjur máti at rætta Wikipedia er blivin mentur av Wikimedia Foundation. At rætta og skriva á Wikipedia hevur søguliga kravt, at fólk lærdu seg wiki merkering (markup), sum er eitt rættiliga svert tilgongiligt markeringsmál, sjálvt um tey bara skuldu gera smærri rættingar til eina grein. Í 2001 varð hetta góðtikið; í 2013 er hetta tað sum drívur tey sum vilja rætta avstað aftur. VisualEditor loyvir fólki at rætta uttan at tey fyrst noyðast at læra seg wiki markeringar, og fer tað at, hopa vit, at hjálpa við til at eggja fólki til at geva sítt íkast til Wikipedia.

Um VisualEditor
VisualEditor is a "visual" way of editing Wikipedia. Editing Wikipedia has historically required people to learn wiki markup, a fairly complex markup language, even to make tiny changes to a page. In 2001, this was acceptable; in 2013, it is driving contributors away. We hope that VisualEditor will be useful to existing contributors and more welcoming to new ones.

VisualEditor has been available as an opt-in "alpha" release on the English-language Wikipedia since December 2012, in 14 more languages since April 2013, and almost all other languages since the beginning of June. We expect to make it available to almost all Wikimedia Foundation wikis by the end of 2014.

We will be releasing regular status updates at Mediawiki.org.

Using VisualEditor
If you're interested in using VisualEditor, we have a guide to doing so, as well as a list of common keyboard shortcuts.

Í løtuni eru tað ávísir trupulleikar við VisualEditor; tað slepst ikki undan hesum. Um tú finnur onkran trupulleika, vinarliga bíða so ikki, men gev eina afturmelding um feilin á Afturmeldingarsíðuni. Tað eru eisini øki, har ið vit noyðast at gera heilt nýggjar funksjónir. Avmarkingar eru í løtuni hesar:


 * Heintar spakuliga — Tað fer at taka nakað av tíð fyri langar, kompleksar síður at heintast niður til VisualEditor. Í framtíðini fer ritbúnaðurin at gerast nógv skjótari, og fer at loyva loading av størri síðum.
 * Incomplete editing — Some elements of complex formatting will display and let you edit their contents, but will 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, VisualEditor only works in the most modern versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari. It does not work in very old versions of any browser. Support for Opera is limited. Internet Explorer currently does not work, but we are working on adding support for versions 9, 10, and 11 of Internet Explorer.
 * Most content pages, not talk pages — VisualEditor is only enabled for some namespaces. At most Wikipedias, VisualEditor can be used on articles, User:, File:, Help: and Category: pages.  VisualEditor is not currently available for Wikipedia: pages or any talk pages.

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

Hvussu tú kanst hjálpa
For 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 as VisualEditor evolves, 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 VisualEditor.
 * Adding TemplateData to templates — 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 acclimatized to Wikipedia.
