https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43334 nverve...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||nverve...@gmail.com --- Comment #16 from nverve...@gmail.com --- I believe that the current list of titles will quickly be a problem if VE is rolled out to unexperienced users on wikipedia: they will probably use Heading 1 because they don't know it shouldn't be used in 99.9...% of edits. When I tried to add a section, I used Heading 1 by default and only changed back to Heading 2 when I saw that the new title was bigger than what I'm used to. If you think titles should be kept in VE, it should be separated from the other titles (after other ones). Eventually, would it be possible to make that configurable on a per wiki basis if some wiki really use as a normal title ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43334 --- Comment #14 from James Forrester --- AzaToth's suggestion is to label as follows: | H1: Title | H2: Heading | H3: Sub-heading | H4: Sub-heading | H5: Sub-heading | H6: Sub-heading The differentiation between H3 - H6 would be only styling. Not sure how I feel about this, but it's certainly "correct". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43334 --- Comment #9 from Martijn Hoekstra --- It is unfortunate that wikitext currently allows h1 elements. It shouldn't. It should be the end aim for the visual editor to have feature parity with wikitext, but at the current point it makes it natural to select a heading 1 when you really never want to do that. I would prefer to see it not available in the visual editor at all, but as a compromise, I could live with renaming Header 1 to Pageheader, and move it all the way to the bottom of markup elements, and rename header 2 to header 1, etc. That way we don't lose an option in the visual editor that is available in wikitext, and at the same time reduce the chance of people thinking it is an option they may want to choose for a header, which it is not. At the same time, we may want to think about abandoning the option to make h1 headers in wikitext too, but that makes for a different discussion which should take place in a different place than this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

It's already allowed. I agree that such is a bad thing but that's a separate story. I guess at most, we could make the H1 option 'non visisble' unless the current element already is exactly of that type. What would be nice, was if the VE would have more 'guided' heading building. It could warn you about inconsistencies in header levels for instance. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

This is not about convincing anyone "that hard and fast global rules are
always appropriate." This is about getting it right for MediaWiki and MediaWiki
users. Having "Heading-1" create wrong first level headings is wrong because
orrect first level headings are in MediaWiki, subordinate to the page name
that _is_ 'hard and fast' coded into the wiki page generator because that
works well, always has, and is correct HTML. Users should not need to think
about HTML at all. VisualEditor should just work right, not wrong. I know = Foo
= gives Foo. That is an unfortunate wiki markup parser bug. If the
VisualEditor team is too week to fix this bug by removing from the editor,
they may implement "Header-0 _deprecated_" as (and link "_deprecated_" to
a mediawiki.org page explaining why it is deprecated and why nevertheless
included in VisualEditor). That is the obvious easy way out. However,
VisualEditor has no need nor obligation to implement the deprecated and seldom
used = Foo =. So remove it now and save everyone the mind drain of "Header-0
_deprecated_". VisualEditor is NOT an HTML editor. It is a MediaWiki page
editor.

Except "Heading 1" is actually create-able on any wiki page ("= Foo ="), it's
just discouraged. This is a tension between what the software /lets/ users do
and what they /should/ do. I'm not convince that hard and fast global rules are
always appropriate.
