VisualEditor/Portal/tl

Welcome to the portal for VisualEditor. VisualEditor (VE) is a new way of editing Wikipedia that is being developed by the Wikimedia Foundation. It allows people edit without having to learn wiki markup. We hope it will help people contribute to Wikipedia.

Tungkol sa VisualEditor
Ang VisualEdtor ay isang "nakikitang" paraan ng pamamatnugot ng Wikipedia. Ang pamamatnugot ng Wikipedia ay kahit noon pa man, nangangailangang matuto ang mga tao ng wiki markup, isang katamtamang-hirap na wikang pang-markup, kahit lamang sa mga maliliit na pagbabago sa isang pahina. Noong 2001, ito ay katanggap-tanggap; sa 2015, ito ay nagtutulak palabas sa mga nag-aambag. Inaasahan naming ang Visualditor ay magiging makabuluhan sa mga kasalukuyang patnugot at lalong hihikayat sa mga bagong taga-gamit.

VisualEditor has been available as an opt-in "alpha" release at MediaWiki.org since mid-2012 and 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 2013. As of July 2015, it has been available by default to logged-in and logged-out editors at more than 75% of the Wikipedias. We expect to make it available by default to most of the remaining languages in late 2015. Since late November 2014, it is also available as an opt-in Beta Feature at all WMF wikis except Wiktionary and Wikisource.

We are releasing regular status updates at Mediawiki.org, and a multilingual newsletter, focused on WMF wikis.

Paggamit ng VisualEditor
Kung ikaw ay nagnanais na gumamit ng VisualEditor sa pamamatnugot, mayroon kaming gabay sa paggamit nito, gayundin ang talaan ng mga karaniwang shortcut sa teklado.

Ang VisualEditor ay mayroong ilang bugs sa kasalukuyan at may mga pagkukulang. Kung nakatagpo ka ng isang usapin, huwag mag-atubili na iulat ito sa pahina ng Feedback. Kasama sa mga kasalukuyang limitasyon ay:


 * Slow to load — It will take some time for long, complex pages to load into VisualEditor. In the future the software will be a lot faster, and will allow for the loading of larger pages.
 * 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 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, Safari and Internet Explorer. It does not work in very old versions of any browser. Support for Opera is limited.
 * 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.

We recommend that users click "" before saving the page and report any problems they encounter.

How to help out
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 your community — See the list of useful ways to help your local community when VisualEditor is offered as an opt-in Beta Feature.
 * 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 spend some time on the help desk, or in the IRC help channel, to help these newcomers become acclimatized to Wikipedia.
