User blog:St, Lucifer/The New Visual Editor?

If you wish to know more about Visual Editor, go [lookout.wikia.com/wiki/Help:VisualEditor here]. The new VisualEditor is a new feature and development is ongoing. If you would like to experiment with the new VisualEditor before enabling it on your own community, you can try it out on the Community Test Wikia.

VisualEditor is not supported in Internet Explorer at this time. Other standard browsers are supported.

The current release allows for editing of article text, image captions, templates, categories and references as well as uploading images, adding videos, using existing images and videos, and making some types of modifications to images and videos. Any element that you can't modify using VisualEditor will be obscured with a striped overlay and a tooltip stating that it's not editable. To do things like create new templates, tables or galleries, you'll still need to use the "classic" Wikia editing experience. Wikia will be adding more functionality soon, and the VisualEditor is only active for the main namespace at this time. VisualEditor is only available in the Wikia skin.



To access the current Wikia editor, use the "Classic editor" option on the "Edit" dropdown menu. It works just as normal, with the "source" and "visual" tabs (and if you have visual editing disabled in your user preferences, you'll only see the source option in the Classic editor, as before).

Disabling

We hope that you'll enjoy using this new feature. If needed, individual users can disable visual editor via their user preferences (see Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing). The "Enable visual editor" preference applies to both the new VisualEditor and the Classic editor's visual mode.
