Hello,
I'm not sure if this message goes here, but I'm noticing that this edit: en:w:Special:Diff/1221607731. Comparing this edit visually is odd, because that is not what the editor added (see it in the Wikitext comparison). Why is this happening?
VisualEditor/Feedback
Strangely, pasting results in either nothing or U+2601 Cloud.
- Click "Computer code" in VE or reply tool
- Copy
Location: https:// - Paste into the browser URL bar (to remove formatting. Ctrl+Shift+V can skip steps 3-4)
- Cut
- Paste into the editor
It gives me the Unicode cloud symbol but I expected to see what I tried to paste.

URL : https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Championnat_europ%C3%A9en_f%C3%A9minin_de_go&veaction=edit Cette page wiki s'affichait comme étant vide. J'ai commencé à l'éditer puis impossible de l'enregistrer. Je pense avoir perdu tout ce que j'ai fait car la page a été supprimée! Si j'ai mal fait quelque chose, je ne sais pas encore quoi..... :(
Fausse alerte, apparemment mes modifs ont bien été prises en compte. Après être sorti du mode édition, il m'a été demandé si je voulais reprendre les modifs... :) J'ai donc dit oui. Désolé pour le spam.
Eh non, en fait j'ai bien un problème sans fin : je reviens sur la page en mode édition, puis je veux la publier, j'ajoute un commentaire, et je clique sur publier ou enregistrer et là j'ai un message d'erreur qui dit que la page est supprimée !!
Comme je ne sais pas de quelle erreur il s'agit je suis coincé....
One of the things that annoys me about VE is that you can't edit just a single section. Even if you click on the "edit" link next to an individual section heading, you still end up editing the entire page. I remember reading somewhere that due to the way VE parsed the page (or something like that), this was unavoidable.
But, I just noticed that on wikitech, it does work! Clicking the "edit" link next to a section head does indeed get you into VE looking at just that section. For example: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Toolforge/My_first_Flask_OAuth_tool&veaction=edit§ion=1. Wonderful! So, how does this work? Is there some option I need to enable? Or is wikitech running a newer version of VE and I just have to wait for it to get rolled out to enwiki?
@RoySmith: That is an experimental feature that the Editing team rolled out to wikitech for testing. Not sure if they feel comfortable rolling it out to other wikis; it has some potential for confusion, and would likely need a lot of careful work before then, but I defer to them. :-)
When I copy a reference and paste it back in somewhere else, the reference list creates a new bullet list in the reference list, despite the reference already being there. This can quickly clutter the reference list, especially if placed more in the middle of an edited article.
You mean when you don't copy it from the existing document (in edit mode), but from read mode, or a different article, correct ?
What I mean is that if I copy a reference from another page and if I were to add it more then one time it creates two different references with the same content.

This is a general question for anyone who wants to share an opinion:
The "Style text" (character formatting) menu in VisualEditor has options like bold and italics. At the end of the menu, there is "Clear formatting", which removes bold, italics, etc., and also removes any [[link]]s. This is consistent with what some web-based software does (like Gmail). Do you think this is a good approach, or would you rather have "clear formatting" retain any links to other pages/other websites?
I did not know that links were formatting. ;-) In my opinion, indeed this is inconsistent, and "Clear formatting" must keep links.
Happy new year!
On my wiki site, only the main namespace can use the visual editor. How can I use it in other namespaces?
Thanks.

'.ve-ui-mwReferenceContextItem .ve-ui-previewElement' has the property, and this blocks me from clicking links in a reference dialogue*.

Yeah I've also had this problem for two days (can't click on reference links anymore). There is an open issue on Phabricator.

Visual editor is removing new line characters at the end of comments inside infobox templates. This is very disruptive. For examples see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Santa_Maria,_California&curid=108140&diff=1233223778&oldid=1233174582 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sunnyvale,_California&diff=next&oldid=1232524470
Comments such as "" serve as subheadings in templates helping editors by providing structure. The is modelled in the template here:
Visual editor is also reducing the number of spaces used to align the equal signs so that this ergonomically valuable alignment is disrupted.
