VisualEditor newsletter—April 2014

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on performance improvements, image settings, and preparation for a simplified citation template tool in its own menu.

• In an oft-requested improvement, VisualEditor now displays red links (links to non-existent pages) in the proper color. Links to sister projects and external URLs are still the same blue as local links.
• You can now open templates by double-clicking them or by selecting them and pressing Return. This also works for references, images, galleries, mathematical equations, and other "nodes".
• VisualEditor has been disabled for pages that were created as translations of other pages using the Translate extension (common at Meta and MediaWiki.org). If a page has been marked for translation, you will see a warning if you try to edit it using VisualEditor.
• When you try to edit protected pages with VisualEditor, the full protection notice and most recent log entry are displayed. Blocked users see the standard message for blocked users.
• The developers fixed a bug that caused links on sub-pages to point to the wrong location.
• The size-changing controls in the advanced settings section of the media or image dialog were simplified further. VisualEditor's media dialog supports more image display styles, like borderless images.
• If there is not enough space on your screen to display all of the tabs (for instance, if your browser window is too narrow), the second edit tab will now fold into the drop-down menu (where the "Move" item is currently housed). On the English Wikipedia, this moves the "Edit beta" tab into the menu; on most projects, it moves the "Edit source" tab. This is only enabled in the default Vector skin, not for Monobook users. See this image for an example showing the "Edit source" and "View history" tabs after they moved into the drop-down menu.
• After community requests, VisualEditor has been deployed as an opt-in feature at Meta and on the French Wikinews.

The drop-down menu is on the right, next to the search box.

Looking ahead: A new, locally controlled menu of citation templates will put citations immediately in front of users. You will soon be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) is being developed. In-line language setting (dir="rtl") will be offered as a Beta Feature soon. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Monday, 19 May 2014 at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this on your own page, subscribe at Wikipedia:VisualEditor#Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project. Thank you!

status?

How did you put the status icon along with your other icons? ‘’’A friend of SamX’’’ Allied Rangoon‧talk 02:41, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

See this for details @Crab rangoons: --Pratyya ^(Hello!) 02:51, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Wait…I thought the status bar said offline but you replied within an instant, and could you tell me how you made your guestbook? Allied Rangoon‧talk 17:26, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Actually I was around then for 5-10 mins. So I didn't wanted to change that to around or online for 5-10 mins. And about the guestbook you need to create header, templates, greeting messages etc etc. It has to come from your head. Also you can take idea from visiting peoples guestbooks. But you just should not copy them. Honestly I got the idea from User:Mediran and User:The Anonymouse (I'm not notifying them unnecessarily). But just got the idea I never ever followed them or their style. I made that thing with my own style using my favourite colors. That's how I created and arranged my guestbook. If you have time don't mnd signing there. Hope I answered your questions. Anyway I've signed your guestbook. But that's not a guestbook. You need to create it and the title of that page should be like User:Crab rangoons/Guestbook or User:Crab rangoons/Autographs or User:Crab rangoons/Signatures etc etc. This thing should also come from your mind not from any suggestions. Good luck.--Pratyya ^(Hello!) 08:04, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks! I will sign your guestbook, thanks for signing mine. -- Allied Rangoon‧talk 19:33, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Chitrojogotlogo.png

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:Chitrojogotlogo.png

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:09, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Please assume good faith

I see you have reverted my edit to Yom Ha'atzmaut. Fair enough. But I do not appericiate it being described as vandalism, even if you disagreed with my reasoning 79.179.99.186 (talk) 16:08, 30 April 2014 (UTC).
