VisualEditor/Special characters/ps

The VisualEditor special characters tool allows users to insert special characters from within VisualEditor if the characters are not present on the users' keyboards. To enable the tool outside WMF wikis, you'll need the following: a working installation of VisualEditor and Parsoid, and a special .json message in order to tell VisualEditor which characters you want to offer your users.

If you try to change the contents of this tool, and it did not work, then see the troubleshooting tips below.

Special character definition


To customize the VisualEditor special character tool on your wiki, you need to create a special message on your wiki:. Making a local message allows you to choose exactly which characters you want to use. Only sysops (admins) are normally able to create or edit these pages.

بېلگې
You can see example definition messages on the English Wikipedia and the Polish Wikipedia as well as here at Mediawiki.org at MediaWiki:Visualeditor-specialcharinspector-characterlist-insert.

Troubleshooting
If the default message appears after saving, check for missing or extra commas using a tool like http://jsonlint.com. If the JSON formatting is not perfect, the local message will be ignored and the default used. Please request further help at VisualEditor/Feedback.
