Since the last newsletter, the ] team has worked mostly minor features and fixing bugs. A few significant bugs include working around a bug in CSSJanus that was wrongly flipping images used in some templates in right-to-left (RTL) environments (]) a major bug that meant inserting any template or other transclusion failed (]), a major but quickly resolved problem due to an unannounced change in MediaWiki core, which caused VisualEditor to crash on trying to save (]). This last bugs did not appear on any Misplaced Pages. Additionally, significant work has been done in the background to make VisualEditor work as an independent editing system. |

As of today, VisualEditor is now available as an opt-out feature to all users at 149 active Wikipedias. |

* The '''character inserter tool''' in the "Insert" menu has a very basic set of characters. The character inserter is especially important for languages that use Latin and Cyrillic alphabets with unusual characters or frequent diacritics. {{highlight|Your ] on the character inserter is requested.}} In addition to feedback from any interested editor, the developers would particularly like to hear from anyone who speaks any of the 50+ languages listed under Phase 5 at ], including Breton, Mongolian, Icelandic, Welsh, Afrikaans, Macedonian, and Azerbaijani. |
|
|
* '''] on ]''' have been heavily attended recently. The next one will be held this coming Wednesday, 22 January at . |
|
|
* You can now '''edit some of the page settings''' in the "options" dialog – <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki></code> as selection (forced on, forced off, or default setting; bugs ] and ]) and <code><nowiki>__NOEDITSECTION__</nowiki></code> as a checkbox (]). |
|
|
* The automated browser tests were adjusted to speed them up and bind more correctly to list items in lists, and updated to a newer version of their ruby dependencies. You can monitor the automated browser tests' results (triggered every twelve hours) live . |
|
|
* ] was updated recently to show some new and upcoming features. |

'''Looking ahead:''' The character formatting menu on the toolbar will get a drop-down indicator next Thursday. The reference and media items will be the first two listed in the Insert menu. The help menu will get a page listing the keyboard shortcuts. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including support for alignment (left, right, and center) and better control over image size (including default and upright sizes). The developers are also working on support for editing redirects and image galleries. |
