turning it on via global.js
[edit]can I turn VisualEditor on via my global.js so that it's automatically on in every Wikipedia I switch to? instead of going to the settings every time to turn it on (every time I open a new Wikipedia/Wiktionary, which I frequently do). is there such a script?

- There's something even better! Visit Special:GlobalPreferences on any wiki, then click on the "editing" tab. There you will be able to set any of the visual editor–related settings (e.g. "always give me visual editor if possible") so that they apply to every single wiki at once.

When is the Time?
[edit]When does the Wikifandom believe the time should be when we finally enable use of the VisualEditor on Wikipedia mainspace pages? The editor has been around for a long time, and almost any difficulties have been ironed out. Anotherdelta (talk) 16:26, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Personally, I 100% agree that visual editor should be enabled and the default everywhere! (Obviously excluding places where it doesn't function properly, like Wikidata and maybe Wikisource.)
- However, every Wikipedia makes its own decisions about the visual editor. It seems like you're active on the English Wikipedia, so I recommend posting on its village pump (technical). Neil Shah-Quinn (WMF) (talk) 20:10, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Ref tag cite error
[edit]w:Special:Diff/1271622593 caused "Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page)." There was no error before saving, and VisualEditor shouldn't produce malformed wikitext. 173.206.40.108 22:48, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
No way to save drafts during copy editing

There's no way to save the draft midway before finalising the version to be published. In other words as with Microsoft Word there should be an automatic save for the specific registered user.

No spell and grammar check?

It would help along with a dynamic save function to have an in-built spelling and grammar checker.

I am asked to make a simple edit to this article (“This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it...”) yet when I click that I'm just dropped into the Edit page with no guidance on what needs changing. Ideally I'd be directed to the specific problematic parts.

- Hey there! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. As for this question, this may be suited more for the Talk section of the article itself; You could find more info about what could be changed, or start a discussion regarding the article. There's also the firearms wikiproject as well, which is dedicated to guns.
- If you press (Learn how and when to remove these messages) on the template, you could potentially find more info on how to fix the issue. Hope this helps! :)
- If you have any other issues, I would recommend headed to the Wikipedia Teahouse for assistance.
- PS: This feedback page is for the editor itself which is used on many wikis, not just Wikipedia.

Having option to link to wiki's help page under "?"

Would it be possible to add a section under the "?" button where wikis could add their own help section (eg. Wikipedia could add links to guides)? May be useful for new user
