Visual Editor Team was made to remove obstacles in editing, to simplify the work of Wikipedia contributors. Even there are voices, that it is a wrong way and newbies should study wikitext WFM goes the way of its goal. To offer all human knowledge to give to everybody. Our aim here is to collect the knowledge of all people. Logically higher amount of obstacles reduces the number of Wikipedians. Our aim is not to push newbies to study wikitext, internal policies or typography. Our aim is to harvest their knoledge. Thus in the new trend we are removing obstacles. So if not as a default, what about as an option to define your own characters (this was always possible in wp)? Than we can tell newbies, look here we place – - its not present in VE default, but you can install an extension to your VE. -- 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
