VisualEditor newsletter
Hey ProtoDrake! We've just deployed some fixes to the VisualEditor. These include:
- "Edit" will load the latest version, not the version you're looking at (bug 49943)
- "Edit" will load the latest version, not the version you edited last time if this is your second edit (bug 50441)
- VE edit section links will load the latest, not original, version in diff view preview (bug 50925)
- <big><big>Foo</big></big> and similar repeated tags will not get corrupted any more (bug 49755)
In the meantime, testing is proceeding well, and hopefully we can get some more fixes out over the next couple of days. If you're interested in helping out, we have a set of open tasks we'd really appreciate your assistance with :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 08:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
Hey!
Sorry it took a while, I was in Disney World! I looked at the article, definitely a C, and inches from a B. A two paragraph lead, trim the story section, it should be a B class and good to go for Good Article review. Great job! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:44, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
VE newsletter
Hey ProtoDrake
We just deployed another VisualEditor release; bugs fixed include:
- Firefox 13/14 has been temporarily blacklisted, to avoid the insertion of broken links ] (50720)
- Changing a reference in a template should no longer produce the bright red "you don't have a references block!" error (bugzilla:50423)
- Notices are now shown if you're editing a protected or semi-protected page (bugzilla:50415)
- The template inspector will no longer invite you to insert parameters that are already being used (50715)
- Same as above, but with aliases (50717)
- Parameter names in the template dialogue now word-wrap (50800)
- The link inspector will not show in the top left if you hit the return key while opening it (49941)
- Hitting return twice in the link editor will no longer introduce a new line that overwrites the link (51075)
- Oddly-named categories no longer cause corruption (50702)
- The toolbar no longer occasionally covers the cursor (48787)
- Changing the formatting of text no longer occasionally scrolls you upwards (50792)
Not specific bugs, but other things; cacheing is now improved, so people should stop seeing temporary breaking when the VisualEditor updates, and RTL support has received some patches. I hope this newsletter is helpful to people; I'll send out another one with the next deployment :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 10:17, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Re: Characters
I'm on the case, but I appreciate the ping (these days it takes me a while to do any sort of meaningful reviews between work and arb duties which is why I specifically request parties to badger me!) Should have a complete review up by tomorrow if not tonight. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 12:38, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
VE newsletter
Hey ProtoDrake! Another set of patches :). Today we have:
- Required template parameters are now automatically added to new templates (50747)
- Templates with piped links now display correctly when you alter them (50801)
- If your edit token expires, you're now informed of it (50424).
- You still won't be able to save - that's due to be fixed on Monday :).
More on Monday, I suspect. Hope you have a good weekend :). I should also have some news about the IP launch pretty soon. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 13:26, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

GA Review
I'm here! Smile, breath, and do things on at a time, easy peasy! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:25, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
VE newsletter
Hey ProtoDrake; hope you had a decent weekend :). We've got a pile of patches, some of which went out on Monday, some yesterday:
- If you insert wikitext such as links or section headers, you get a notice in the top right corner (over the save button). It doesn't go away until click, though once dismissed you don't get another one that edit. (49820)
- If your edit token expires, VE fetches a new one for you so you can save. (50424)
- If the page is empty of content but does have something non-content (like a category or an HTML comment), VE no longer crashes on load - (50289)
- sub tags are no longer removed ((49873)
- If you type at the end of links, they now extend
- Templates now only take a single click to insert
- Clear annotations clears links (50461)
- The link inspector stays open when you click to another item (50895)
- Typing after multi-byte characters no longer creats pawn icons (51140)
- Resizing thumbnails that have a default size set now works (50645)
- References made by tag:ref now display properly (bugzilla:50978)
- The VE is integrated with the spam blacklist (50826)
- Feedbacl link goes to the right language (bugzilla:47730)
There are a lot more improvements coming, but that's it for Monday and Tuesday. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 08:27, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
Square Enix barnstar
"Characters of" articles are really hard to source and write, and as such very few people actually work on them. You've broken the mold by getting Characters of the Final Fantasy XIII series up to GA, and as such I hereby award you your second Square Enix barnstar. --PresN 07:09, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
VE newsletter
Hey ProtoDrake. The newest updates:
- Links now don't extend over space/punctuation/workbreaks when you type (bugzilla:51463)
- Users with the "minoredit" preference set get working functionality (bugzilla:51515)
- You can tab to buttons in dialogs, including the save dialog (bugzilla:50047)
- We now show the <newarticletext> (or <newarticletextanon>) message as an edit notice (bugzilla:51459)
- You can scroll dialog panels like in transclusions' templates' parameter listings (bugzilla:51739)
- Templates that only create meta-data and no display content at all (like Template:Use dmy dates) now can't be deleted accidentally or deliberately, but still don't show up (bugzilla:51322)
- FlaggedRevisions integration (bugzilla:49699)
- Edit summary will get the section title pre-added if you launched from a section edit link (bugzilla:50872)
Along with some miscellaneous language support fixes. That's all for today; as always, let us know if you spot more bugs. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:02, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar |
| For the incredible amount of work that you put into your first Good Article, and for not giving up on something new and challenging, I hereby award you the Tireless Contributor Barnstar!

Orphaned non-free image File:Snow Villiers concept art.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Snow Villiers concept art.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:44, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
VisualEditor newsletter for 06 August 2013
Quick tip: Need to wikilink a word in VisualEditor? Select the word and type Control+k or ⌘ Command+k to enter VisualEditor's link tool without taking your hands off the keyboard. See Misplaced Pages:VisualEditor/Keyboard shortcuts for more time-saving keyboard shortcuts.
It's been almost two weeks since the last newsletter, and a lot of improvements have been made during that time. The main things that people have noticed are significant improvements to speed for typing into long pages (Template:Bug), scrolling (Template:Bug) and deleting (Template:Bug) on large pages. There have also been improvements to references, with the latest being support for list-defined references, which are <ref>s defined inside a <references> block (Template:Bug). Users of Opera 12 and higher have had their web browser removed from the browser black-list, mostly as a result of work by a volunteer developer (Template:Bug). Opera has not been fully white-listed yet, so these users will get an additional warning and request to report problems.
Significant changes were made to the user interface to de-emphasize VisualEditor. This has cut the use of VisualEditor by approximately one-third. You can read about these at Misplaced Pages:VisualEditor/Updates/August 1, 2013, but they include:
- Re-ordering links to the editors to put "Edit source" first and VisualEditor second
- Renaming the link for VisualEditor to "Edit"
- Disabling the animation for section editing.
- Changing all labels for the classic wikitext editor to say "Edit source", regardless of namespace.
There have also been many smaller fixes, including these:
- Horizontal alignment of images working correctly on more pages (Template:Bug)
- Categories with ':'s in their names (like Category:Misplaced Pages:Privacy) now work correctly (Template:Bug)
- Magic JavaScript gadgets and tools like sortable tables will now work once the page is saved (Template:Bug)
- Keyboard shortcut for "clear annotations" - now Control+\ or ⌘ Command+\ (Template:Bug)
- Fixed corruption bugs that led to duplicate categories (Template:Bug) and improper collapsing when multiple new references were added in a row (Template:Bug).
- Improvements to display elements: The save dialog in Monobook is restored to normal size (Template:Bug), pop-up notices on save now look the same in VisualEditor as in wikitext editor (Template:Bug), and the popup about using wikitext has a link to the definition of wikitext that now opens in a new window (Template:Bug)
Most of the Wikimedia Foundation staff is traveling this week and next, so no updates are expected until at least August 15th. If you're going to be in Hong Kong for Wikimania 2013, say hello to James Forrester, Philippe Beaudette, and the other members of the VisualEditor team.
As always, if you have questions or suggestions, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting problem reports at Misplaced Pages:VisualEditor/Feedback and ideas at Misplaced Pages talk:VisualEditor. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) 23:23, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
