VisualEditor News #6—2015

Read this in another language • Subscription list

Did you know?

A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button. Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.

Screenshot showing a pop-up dialog for switching from the wikitext editor to VisualEditor
If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to Special:Preferences and choosing the setting that you want:
Screenshot showing a drop-down menu in Special:Preferences

The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.

Recent improvements

You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing.

The LaTeX mathematics formula editor has been significantly expanded. (T118616) You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.

Future changes

The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Editing mode:".

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. (T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.

In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. (T92661)

Testing opportunities

  • Please try the new system for the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences. Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at the feedback topic on mediawiki.org or sign up for formal user research (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
    • Remember my last editor,
    • Always give me the visual editor if possible, 
    • Always give me the source editor, and 
    • Show me both editor tabs.  (This is the current state for people using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
  • Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Genei Ibun Roku ♯FE, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Caucasian. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Nice Work!

Wow, I just read over your rewrite of The Last Story - a game/article that has been on my to-do list since forever. Very nice work. On a Wikipedia level, its miles ahead of what it used to be, and as a reader, I learned a lot personally. (For example, I didn't realize Nintendo that had much influence in its development.)

Anyways, just wanted to say thanks/good job/congrats on your good work. Sergecross73 msg me 14:16, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:FF XV Demo screenshot.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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. --B-bot (talk) 03:29, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Hero of Mana

Great job! Rise of Mana looks awesome, it's great how you're able to build up such a massive article and with so many Japanese sources! By the way, there are two Mana games that don't have articles... Circle of Mana and Friends of Mana... I know you're busy, just thought I'd mention. :) Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:50, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Judgesurreal777, I'm good but not that good. I've already looked out of curiosity. Circle of Mana has next to nothing on it, and Friends of Mana is only mentioned in a single Famitsu interview on the World of Mana project in any detail. So sorry, but can't do it. Rise of Mana was more of a fluke that even Final Fantasy Agito: it was massively popular in Japan, got loads of press for being an official entry in the series rather than a spin-off. Even now, Square Enix are trying to save it from permanent death after its servers close in March. You never know, we might get a complete Vita/3DS version, which is far more likely to see an overseas release than a mobile game. --ProtoDrake (talk) 18:02, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey thanks for checking for me! :) Keep up the amazing work. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 18:02, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey, could you add that reference you found to the Mana (series) article? I'm not sure I could do it justice :) Judgesurreal777 (talk) 18:38, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Just noticed this and am letting you know that the retention period for it to be part of the Mana series has begun. It will have to be at least a Good Article before May 7th or the topic will be demoted. GamerPro64 18:03, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

GamerPro64, (sigh) I'm on it. --ProtoDrake (talk) 20:05, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
All right so Rise of Mana is now a Good Article. Now you can make a supp nom to include it into the topic. GamerPro64 18:08, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Barnstar!

The Original Barnstar
For some reason, I'm not really surprised that when you just throw down a quick article, it's in good enough shape to become a GA just a few days later. Much less for an article that some editors didn't think could really be written in the first place. You do some great work! --PresN 01:14, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Rise of Mana has been nominated for Did You Know

Characters of Final Fantasy Type 0

Since the article is the size of a small novel, you should put it up for an easy Good Article nomination. Just a suggestion, since it is your article. :) Judgesurreal777 (talk) 02:00, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Judgesurreal777, I was thinking of it, but I'm keeping my GA slate clean until Persona passes or fails as FAC. --ProtoDrake (talk) 09:03, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

VisualEditor News #1—2016

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Did you know?
Among experienced editors, the visual editor's table editing is one of the most popular features.
Screenshot showing a pop-up menu for column operations in a table
If you select the top of a column or the end of a row, you can quickly insert and remove columns and rows.

Now, you can also rearrange columns and rows. Click "Move before" or "Move after" to swap the column or row with its neighbor.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.

Recent changes

You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.

Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.

You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.

The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.

Future changes

The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences:

  • Remember my last editor,
  • Always give me the visual editor if possible,
  • Always give me the source editor, and
  • Show me both editor tabs.  (This is the state for people using the visual editor now.)

The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers would like to know how well the visual editor works in your language. They particularly want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic and others.

Let's work together

Spring Cleaning

Thanks for helping with the cleanup effort! I think that combined with your incredible efforts with article improvement and making book length articles warrants a Barnstar soon, gotta pick one out! I also wanted to highlight something I think you'd be good at for our cleanup effort; Tifa Lockhart and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII need "updates" to certain sections; not sure if they need anything major, other than a quick check and a tag removal, but you never know. And I know you have many irons in the fire, but we do have one GA that is a dumpster fire... Dragon Quest with like 50 tags, could do with a rewrite from a rewrite expert...

Awesome job!

Yet another GA for Wikiproject Square Enix! You should write up an advice page for how you put article together so well and so quickly! I wanted to throw another suggestion at you; Music of the Parasite Eve series seems like a GA right now, perhaps you could throw that into your nomination rotation.

@Judgesurreal777: Just out of curiosity... how do I write up an "advice page"? I'm not even fully sure on what that is. And as to Music of PE, I'm leaving that with @PresN: to do as he sees fit. --ProtoDrake (talk) 20:49, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Like this https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Tony1/How_to_improve_your_writing - In this one, Tony takes people through how to write featured articles with a focus on prose. If you think you have any unique tips as to how you do what you do, perhaps you could make a similar page as an offshoot of our user page. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:57, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) If you're interested in writing some sort of "advice page" and sharing it with other editors on a large scale, I'm sure the editors over at WP:VG/NEWS would be willing to consider featuring it in a future newsletter. Just a thought. – Rhain ☔ 13:32, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Do you want one Edit tab, or two? It's your choice

How to switch between editing environments
Part of the toolbar in the visual editor
Click the [[ ]] to switch to the wikitext editor.
Part of the toolbar in the wikitext editor
Click the pencil icon to switch to the visual editor.

The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.

You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.

There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Yamato Hotsuin

Good work in the Megami Tensei articles Drake. You are almost reaching Devil Survivor if you keep like this. Still, there was a merge discussion about merging this article, Yamato Hotsuin, but still nobody did it. Do you know if there is reception in Japanese or that it should be merged? Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 22:01, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I doubt there's anything about reception on Hotsuit. With a few rare exceptions, Japanese press don't generally go in for specific character praise or criticism like Western press do. And the article looks way too weak (both for bulk and notability) to stand on its own, so I'd merge. And I'm glad my work is appreciated, but I'm really not interested in working on Devil Survivor in any degree. They just come off as rather facile to me. Not to mention the character designs give me the creeps (seriously, the women look like hentai rejects). After Devil Summoner GA, I'm planning on taking a break from MegaTen to finish my series article for Chaos Rings. After that... who knows. --ProtoDrake (talk) 22:21, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. I'll merge the article.Tintor2 (talk) 02:06, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Muramasa: The Demon Blade, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fujin. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A summary of a Featured Article you nominated will appear on the Main Page soon. The TFA text mostly follows the lead section; how does it look? - Dank (push to talk) 15:32, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

@Dank: Well.... It looks fine. Sorry for the lack of words. Slightly winded by this. I'll check back after April 29th and see how much bile and venom got thrown at this particular article. Might almost be fun. --ProtoDrake (talk) 15:45, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Tales of Zestiria gameplay.png

Thanks for uploading File:Tales of Zestiria gameplay.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. czar 00:51, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Persona 5 cover art.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Persona 5 cover art.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:05, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner (defunct)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Zppix -- Zppix (talk) 15:01, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner (defunct)

The article Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Zppix -- Zppix (talk) 17:01, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

ProtoDrake, due to significant issues with Zppix's reviews and subsequent withdrawal from GA, we are reverting all of the results of these reviews, and placing the nominations back into the nominations pool with no loss of seniority. I would expect the nomination to attract a new, qualified reviewer, and hope that happens soon. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, and wish this hadn't been necessary. Best of luck going forward with the article; I imagine it will be a GA soon enough. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:57, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Final Fantasy Common Elements

Awesome job so far building up the new article! We really need one in this topic. If you see anything on character jobs created by Final Fantasy add them in even if it's just a little bit, that way we can kill all three bad articles in one stroke. :) And let me know if I can help in any way. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 22:17, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Amazing job! I would go ahead and put it in the article space so I and others can get to work on taking it to GA and redirecting the three other articles to it. Amazing amount of work! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 19:12, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Allen Walker

Sorry for bothering. I've been working in this manga/anime article Allen Walker to make it GA which I'm pretty sure you haven't seen since it's not that popular. The article has already been copyedited by a fellow user and I have already requested a Peer review here but there have been no comments. My biggest doubt about the article is that if people who haven't read or watched the series could understand it. If you have some opinions I'm all ears.Tintor2 (talk) 16:01, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Want to do a trade? I review a GA of yours, you review this one? I'm going crazy waiting for a reviewer! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:49, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

@Judgesurreal777: I'm sorry, but no-can-do for this one. I created this article from scratched, and I've been adding to it since its release. As much as I'd try not to be, I'm biased by association. I'd help under other circumstances, but in this case I'm bound to refuse your offer, unless you can find another article that I can review with a clear conscience. --ProtoDrake (talk) 18:20, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
