Translations:VisualEditor/Portal/1/en

Welcome to the portal for the VisualEditor, a new way of editing Wikipedia being developed by the Wikimedia Foundation. Editing Wikipedia has historically required people to learn wiki markup, a fairly complex markup language, even to make tiny corrections to an article. In 2001, this was acceptable; in 2013, it's driving contributors away. The VisualEditor allows people to edit without having to learn wiki markup, and will, we hope, help encourage people to contribute to Wikipedia.
