Hi I found it is sometimes impossible to correct links in the VE. I wanted to correct after seeing that it was misspelled , at other times to exchange the link completely. Does not work in VE, the first inserted link remains and is just a renamed on the surface (thus getting [[tpping eroor|typing error]] which does not help). Had to save, go into the source editing and do it there. Kipala (talk) 07:18, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

What's impossible about clicking on the link and clicking edit?
In the wikitext editor, if the link is [[tpping eroor]], and you change what you see to [[typing error]], then you're done. But in VisualEditor, you have to change both the visible label and the underlying link, which requires two separate actions: change what you see, and then open the link tool and change the underlying link. It is not exactly intuitive, and there are multiple suggestions about how to improve it.
And? That doesn't make editing a link impossible, as OP complained about. I don't know what OP is expecting. VisualEditor allows you to edit the visuals. Is it not expected that changing the text won't change the link? And to change the link you press edit? It seems obvious, and a perfectly acceptable compromise for not having to deal with wikitext. This is how it works in any rich text editor, and is the only sensible way it can be done.
Dear, surely you are right, but I am not so sure if we have the alle the people here who are right all the time. No, it is not at all obvious that "that changing the text won't change the link? And to change the link you press edit". Not a bit.
I agree with you, Kipala. We need to improve this and make it easy for everyone.
