 Force-reload, go to an article, and you'll see a new WYSIWTF tab (I
 trust you can decipher the acronym ;-)

 Hi Magnus,
  I'm not getting an extra tab. Perhaps I've done something stupid,
 but I stuck the above code in vector.js, reloaded, nothing. Same in
 Chrome, FF, Opera. What simple thing am I missing?

 Not sure - works for me. Have a look :
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Magnus_Manske/vector.js

 Maybe some other script in your vector.js dies before it gets to the
 include point? If so, try moving the lines to the top of vector.js.

Also, it does only work in actual articles :-)

Update : Wikilinks are now converted to a links, images are ignored for now.

Magnus

Ok, I got it - there were some spurious blank lines. Ok, um, it does
what you said it does :) Now, how to make this a compelling
demonstration that this is _the way foward_?

Re: [WikiEN-l] WYSIWTF

2010-12-29 Thread Magnus Manske
I see three parts that will be required for a fully functional demo:

1. Conversion of wikitext into HTMLized code as input for a HTML editor
2. A (patched) HTML WYSIWYG editor that takes the code from #1 as input
3. A wikitext generator, running on the saved HTML from #2

I have made a proof-of-principle implementation of #1, and I'll
continue expanding it. I could also do an implementation of #3 later.

But, since I have little experience with HTML WYSIWYG editors, I would
prefer someone else to do that part. But since there is mostly talk on
this and the other list, I'll probably end up doing that myself as
well... :-(

Cheers,
Magnus

 We must also take into account the popularity factor when it comes to

 You think popularity is the cause of Wiktionary sucking?  I think it's
 the effect.

In a sense, yes. The amount of influence and power Wikipedia yields on 
the rest of the Internet is amazing; we may not be aware of that as we 
tend to naturally look from the inside out and not from the rest of the 
world's POV.

And I feel that does get in the way of us trying to organize the 
information we have put together so far (as we humans like to do) - 
words and definitions in one place (the dictionary), basic descriptions 
of topics (the encyclopedia) in another place, locations (an atlas or 
gazetteer, which we still yet to find a way to incorporate a wiki 
structure for something like that), and so on.

I know people don't like what I say when I sometimes tell them to think 
of Wikipedia (or whichever wiki you are working on) sans the high search 
rankings, popularity, etc., and just concentrate on the content itself. 
Are we organizing the information in the most efficient and logical ways 
we can? Are we maintaining a stable and sustainable wiki in both content 
and community? I feel those are the questions we ultimately, as a 
collection of wiki communities, need to always keep in mind.
