Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Inserting images into tables + handling templates

Hi! I am so far pleased with the progress of the editor but right now it is not really capable of handling images well. Instering images into tables is almost impossible with the tool. I tried it at huwiki with a large table that contains one image per row. The tool inserts the image with a pre-set -thumb- code, and it is impossible to get rid of it, the tool only offers adding a caption and no other possibilities. This seriously hinders continuous work, as I would have to add the photos manually in wikicode, separately because there is no way of switching back and forth between VE and wikitext editor without losing what I was doing. Before full deployment, image and table handling needs to be fixed, otherwise VE will be virtually useless for experienced editors.

The other thing is that handling citation templates is currently a nuisance in VE. each and every parameter has to be loaded manually, in a separate window, and if you want to add another parameter, you have to click back to the main tab and start again, + add the content of the parameter separately. This means that adding one parameter approx. uses up half a minute + a lot of extra clicks and loading time. The VE should be capable of loading the full parameter list of a template in a single window, so you can fill them in quickly. I would not use this tool to fill in an infobox at the moment. Takes horribly long!

Kind regards,
