VisualEditor/Portal/cs

Vítejte na portálu VisualEditoru, nového nástroje pro editaci Wikipedie, vyvinutého nadací Wikimedia Foundation. Editace Wikipedie doposud od člověka vyžadovala naučit se wiki markup, poměrně složitý značkovací jazyk, a to dokonce i v případě, že chtěl provést pouze nepatrné změny v nějakém článku. V roce 2001 to byl přijatelný požadavek; v roce 2013 to však přispěvatele odrazuje. VisualEditor umožňuje editovat bez nutnosti učit se wiki markup a pomůže, jak doufáme, povzbudit lidi k tomu, aby přispívali do Wikipedie.

Podrobný harmonogram spuštění VisualEditoru lze nalézt níže – ale očekáváme, že bude dostupný pro uživatele v téměř všech projektech Wikipedie ke konci července 2013.

O VisualEditoru
VisualEditor je „vizuálním“ způsobem editace Wikipedie, je to nový systém, který umožní lidem přispívat bez nutnosti učit se wiki markup. Od prosince 2012 byl volitelně dostupný ve zkušební („alfa“) verzi na anglickojazyčné Wikipedii; v 16 dalších jazycích od dubna 2013 a téměř ve všech jazycích od počátku června. Jak je vysvětleno níže, očekáváme, že bude dostupný v téměř všech Wikipediích koncem července, přičemž se od 1. července začíná s Wikipedií anglickojazyčnou.

Pokud Vás zajímá, jak VisualEditor používat, je tu uživatelský průvodce, stejně tak jako seznam běžně užívaných klávesových zkratek. Pokud nám chcete pomoci se spuštěním editoru, je tu mnoho úkolů, které je třeba vykonat. Budeme pravidelně aktualizovat stav prací, o čemž můžete být informováni přímo na své diskusní stránce, pokud se přihlasíte k odběru našeho newsletteru (zpravodaje).



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 "review your changes" 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.
