改行の仕方について。

Wikipediaで新しく実装された、VisualEditorですが改行の仕方がいまいちわかりません。プルダウンメニューを「段落」に合わせてエンターキーで開業すると"<ｐ>"が挿入され、"<ｂｒ>"にはならないのではないでしょうか。Shift+Enterな気もしますが、"<ｂｒ>"で改行するにはどうしたらよいのでしょうか。ご教示ください。--Closed（会話） 2013年7月22日 (月) 14:27 (UTC)

コメント 今のところ、<br> だけでなく、タグ自体を選んで挿入する機能は無い様です。なお、「ソースを編集」を選ぶことで、今までと同じように編集できます。--Frozen-mikan（会話） 2013年7月24日 (水) 05:58 (UTC)

それでは、VisualEditorを利用する際にはEnterキーを押して改行すればそれでかまわないのでしょうか。　ソースを編集については、理解しました。ありがとうございます。　--Closed（会話） 2013年8月12日 (月) 09:10 (UTC)

テンプレートパラメータの自動挿入

テンプレートのパラメータには、「必須」とされているものがいくつかあります。テンプレートを挿入する場合、それらのパラメータは自動的に追加されるようにすると利便性が高まると思います。

また、特に「date」パラメータなど、自動挿入が可能なものについては内容まで自動的に追加されるとよりよいのではないでしょうか。 Make More Reliable（会話） 2013年7月24日 (水) 00:08 (UTC)

「date」パラメータの自動挿入は、VisualEditorに限ったことではないと思いますので、そのテンプレートのノートでご提案なさってはいかがでしょうか。◆なお自動挿入そのものではないですが、各テンプレートのdocページにTemplateDataを書いておくことで、パラメータを簡単に追加できます（サンプル：Template:図書館を利用者sandboxでお試しください）。--miya（会話） 2013年7月25日 (木) 05:58 (UTC)

コメント パラメータが「必須」というのは、TemplateData における "required": true のことだと思います。先ほど試した所、「テンプレートを新規作成する際、必須パラメータが自動的に追加される機能」が追加されていました（「Template:仮リンク」でも確認）。「内容の自動挿入」に関しては不明です。--Frozen-mikan（会話） 2013年7月25日 (木) 06:33 (UTC)

複数行テンプレートの編集について

基礎情報テンプレートなどの大きなテンプレートでは、複数行にわたることがあります。この複数行テンプレートですが、今のところ上手く編集することが出来ていないようです。以前のように改行文字を全て除去してしまう事は無くなりましたが、改行の後ろに新しい値を挿入する挙動でした。また、我々が複数行テンプレートと認識していても、新規に追加する際には、1行にまとめられてしまいます。バグとして報告があれば、今後も改善されていくとは思いますが。--Frozen-mikan（会話） 2013年7月25日 (木) 06:59 (UTC)

This will hopefully be fixed soon; I agree that it is a serious issue. The developers have all been at Wikimania, and hopefully they'll be able to fix it now that they are on their way back. Okeyes (WMF)（会話） 2013年8月12日 (月) 12:27 (UTC)

TemplateData: 無名引数について

TemplateData では無名引数（ソースでは = の左側が空の文字列）を扱うことが出来ないようです。エディター上では、無名引数は _empty_ という名前に変換され、ソースでは _empty_ = として入力されることになります。なお、無名引数を含んだ TemplateData を作成した際、引数名と aliases との交換や aliases の一部除去など、細かい編集がエディターに反映されない事が有りました。--Frozen-mikan（会話） 2013年8月11日 (日) 09:25 (UTC)

(Sorry for having to write in English!) - if you have unnamed parameters, simply name them 1,2,3, and so on, in the order that they appear in the template, and give them an appropriate alias. Hopefully that will work - let me know if it doesn't. Okeyes (WMF)（会話） 2013年8月12日 (月) 12:16 (UTC)

私が言及したかったのは 1, 2, 3, ... などの引数名を省略可能な引数のことではありません。等号記号 (=) の前に空文字列をとる引数のことです。先ほど空文字列の引数を持つテンプレートを編集した所、エディタでは引数 1 として認識され、別の引数を加えて保存すると、等号が除去されました[1]。--Frozen-mikan（会話） 2013年8月12日 (月) 14:47 (UTC)

Strange; reported at bugzilla:52752. Thank you :). Okeyes (WMF)（会話） 2013年8月12日 (月) 15:09 (UTC)

♙（チェスの駒）バグ

時々、♙というアイコンが出現して、直前に入力した文字列を際限なく繰り返してしまうことがあります。いろいろな場面で急に出るので、出現条件はよくわからないのですが、画像キャプションを追加しようとする際にはほとんど毎回出ます。バグジラにも上がっているようですが[2]、こちらにもご報告いたします。--miya（会話） 2013年8月14日 (水) 16:32 (UTC)

I will add it to Bugzilla; can you give me an example to show to the developers? Okeyes (WMF)（会話） 2013年8月14日 (水) 16:39 (UTC)

I'll try to illustrate them in my user-subpages:

• User:Miya/Firefox - there were pawn bugs
• User:Miya/Chrome - no pawn bug but there were some difficulty in editing.
• User:Miya/Safari(on iPad mini) - no pawn bug but I couldn't add images.

--miya（会話） 2013年8月15日 (木) 01:59 (UTC) add a little explanation.--miya（会話） 2013年8月15日 (木) 12:05 (UTC)

Aha; thank you. Is this the bug noted in the section below this? Okeyes (WMF)（会話） 2013年8月18日 (日) 21:26 (UTC)

Perhaps. I made some tests again; Cursor also drove me mad both on User:Miya/Firefox and User:Miya/Chrome.--miya（会話） 2013年8月19日 (月) 09:15 (UTC)

From David's comments on bugzilla I think they are fixing the cursor issue - as to the loops (and the pawns) I have reported that seperately :). Okeyes (WMF)（会話） 2013年8月19日 (月) 17:46 (UTC)

Cursor places itself after the first character when inserting a group of Japanese characters

Hello,

Please excuse me for writing in English.

At Wikimania I found, with the help of Takashi Ota, that the cursor places itself incorrectly when typing in Japanese. I reported it as bug 52716. I could see this bug on Firefox in Mac OSX and Linux, but I couldn't test on Windows. Can anybody please test it in other operating systems and browsers and write any useful comments that you have at the bug report?

Thank you! --アミル・エ｡・アハロニ（会話） 2013年8月18日 (日) 12:50 (UTC)

editintro及びコメントアウト

ちょっと考えると仕様上当たり前すぎる話なのしょうが、ビジュアルエディターを用いて編集した場合、<!--ここに公開されていない本名を記述しないでください。-->であるといったような編集者向けにコメントアウトされているような情報が表示されません。
さらに同様に編集者向けに設定されているeditintroを用いた編集者向けの注意書きが表示されません。ウィキペディア日本語版では存命の人物の項目にはCategory:存命人物を付けて{{BLP editintro}}を表示するようになっています。このあたりを改善できませんでしょうか？--Vigorous action （Ｔａｌｋ/History） 2013年8月22日 (木) 12:22 (UTC)

（追記）どうも、存命人物と学校記事はjawpのMediaWiki:Common.jsによる影響のようですので、jawp独自で対応が必要なのかもしれません。--Vigorous action （Ｔａｌｋ/History） 2013年8月22日 (木) 12:50 (UTC)

Yes; the lack of HTML comments being visible is a problem, and has been known for a while - see bugzilla:49603. Hopefully it will be fixed soon :). Okeyes (WMF)（会話） 2013年8月22日 (木) 13:55 (UTC)

報告 ガジェット（Help:ページ先頭のセクションに編集リンクを追加する）が単一リンクの場合のみを想定していたことが原因でした。よって複数の編集リンクに対応するよう書き換えました[3]。--Frozen-mikan（会話） 2013年9月8日 (日) 16:01 (UTC)

ファイル行頭のスペース　a space at the line head of a media file

Monument of Tachiarai airport 02.JPG

それほど深刻ではないけれど、遭遇した利用者を当惑させる現象として報告します。

大刀洗陸軍飛行場#沿革の下の版にある画像（2枚のうちで下の方にある画像）をビジュアルエディターで編集してみてください。

• 大刀洗陸軍飛行場2013-10-22T11:21:19の版

行頭に全角スペースがあるせいか、VEでは画像編集できず、画像をクリックしても画像の説明ページに飛んでしまいます。その次の版（2013-10-22T12:22:40）でSourceEditorで行頭の全角スペースを消すと、VEで画像編集可能になりました。

これを個人のSandboxサブページで再現実験してみたのが以下のページです。

• 利用者:Miya/sandbox/ビジュアルエディター 2013-10-23T06:39:27の版

この版をVEで開いて編集してみてください。行頭にスペースが（全角でも半角でも）あると、その行はpre状態になってしまい、文字列なら編集可能なものの、画像編集はVEではできない状態になっていると思います（もし私の勘違いならご指摘ください）。

Please open 大刀洗陸軍飛行場 (as of 2013-10-22T11:21:19) and try to edit the second photo with VisualEditor. I couldn't edit it with VisualEditor until I removed a two-byte space from its line head with SourceEditor. This may be not a serious but annoying bug for a beginner.

If there is a space at the line head of a media file, you cannot edit or delete a media file on VisualEditor. Feel free to edit my sandbox (利用者:Miya/sandbox/ビジュアルエディター 2013-10-23T06:39:27) to test editing a media file with a space on its line head. At the same time I assume that current VisualEditor is unable to distinguish an one-byte space from a double-byte space, either.--miya（会話） 2013年10月23日 (水) 07:14 (UTC)

Hi miya.

Really sorry about that bug.

The developers have been able to reproduce it, thanks to your thoughtful documentation. :)

I’ve reported it here: bugzilla:56195]

We can both keep our eyes on it. :)

--Anna (WMF) 2013年10月25日 (金) 22:20 (UTC)

Thank you for reporting it!--miya（会話） 2013年10月26日 (土) 00:45 (UTC)

You're welcome, miya. According to bugzilla, status is resolved and resolution is fixed. Hopefully it is! Please let me know if the problem persists. --Anna (WMF) 2013年10月28日 (月) 21:52 (UTC)

Thank you, miya! Your translation now needs to get put into the translation system, ideally by you yourself. You would go here to sign up, and then go here to set your translating preferences. Finally, once you are approved as a translator, you would go here to review existing translations, correct them, and add new ones as needed.

サンドボックスのビジュアルエディタへの対応について

ビジュアルエディタは不完全で、発展途上なので、意図したとおりに編集されるか確認する手段が必要と思うのですが、

現状で、サンドボックスでビジュアルエディタは利用できません。

個人設定でビジュアルエディタを有効にしているユーザはサンドボックスでもビジュアルエディタを有効にしたらよいのではないでしょうか？--Mytrajectory22（会話） 2014年3月14日 (金) 03:24 (UTC)

コメント 登録利用者の場合、各自の利用者ページでビジュアルエディターを利用することが可能です。「利用者のサブページ」を作るか「Help:利用者サンドボックス」のガジェットを利用するのはいかがでしょうか。--Frozen-mikan（会話） 2014年3月14日 (金) 05:15 (UTC)

Sorry for the comment in English, I can't speak any Japanese. I'd be extremely grateful if someone could help Japanese Wikipedians if Google Translate is not enough :) What other Wikipedias did in this case was creating a special sandbox in a namespace that could support it. For example, at the Italian Wikipedia (my home site) I created a personal sandbox and then linked to it so that everybody can use it to test VE, IPs included. If you created Help:VisualEditor sandbox, for example, that would work as well. Hope this helps! --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年3月14日 (金) 10:15 (UTC)

なるほど、現状ではそのような方法があるんですね。ひとまずは利用者サンドボックス（下書き）を利用することにします。--Mytrajectory22（会話） 2014年3月14日 (金) 20:12 (UTC)

So , Do other wikipedia have 2 sandboxs that for source editor and for VisualEditor?　 Was Help:VisualEditor sandbox created after VisualEditor enable for all user?--Mytrajectory22（会話） 2014年3月14日 (金) 20:12 (UTC)

Yes. For example, the English Wikipedia uses the page en:User:Sandbox, while the Italian Wikipedia uses it:Utente:Elitre_(WMF)/Pagina_delle_prove_VE. Help:VisualEditor sandbox is an example I provided as a suggestion for you. It is important that the sandbox has a good visibility so that many people can test VisualEditor. After you create the page, if you link back to it in this way, even anonymous users will be able to try VisualEditor. It's because of the &veaction=edit string. Have a nice weekend! --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年3月15日 (土) 12:53 (UTC)

Mytrajectory22: I can create that page for you, if you want. Just let me know. Thanks, --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年3月18日 (火) 13:45 (UTC)

Elitre (WMF):Very thanks about your answer and Sorry for slow reply due to unsure English and me with laziness. So, what you mean is that. 1st, create my sandbox. 2nd, create Help:VisualEditor sandbox. 3rd, Link from Help:VisualEditor sandbox to my sandbox. Can't or Unsuitable nomal Sandbox available to VisualEditor. --Mytrajectory22（会話） 2014年3月19日 (水) 14:56 (UTC)

Mytrajectory22, hi again, and thanks for your Thanks! To be clear: we just need to create Help:VisualEditor sandbox, that's it. VisualEditor will be available on that page, for everybody (even users who do not have an account or are logged out will be able to use it there if they follow the link as it is formatted here). VisualEditor is available also on personal sandboxes if users want to create them, of course. Regards, --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年3月19日 (水) 15:16 (UTC)

Someone tested the sandbox at the English Wikipedia :) My point is: registered users can have personal sandboxes and test VE whenever they want. For unregistered ones instead, that's difficult, so creating the page I suggested will help them. Best, --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年3月20日 (木) 10:04 (UTC)

Say about my edit !? :) I am not knowledgeable about Sandbox and VE, and increase page is a little confusing. So maybe I'll add a few explanation and LINK to English sandbox(maybe no account required) from there and there(Header template of nomal sandbox). --Mytrajectory22（会話） 2014年3月21日 (金) 22:45 (UTC)

Mytrajectory22, I hope this is not a problem for you: I have created that sandbox. Can you please 1) translate the English text I put there 2) add its link to the pages you mentioned? Thank you! --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年3月24日 (月) 20:11 (UTC)

仮名漢字変換で文字入力がまともに出来ない

WindowsXP SP3(32bit)+Chrome環境にて、編集するために日本語入力を試みるも、 入力や変換途中に勝手に確定されたり無変換にされたり入力を受け付けなかったりと非常に 動作が不安定です。 事実上記事の編集には使用できません。 Nonkihiguma（会話） 2014年3月24日 (月) 02:41 (UTC)

Hi Nonkihiguma, I am using Google Translate, so I might not understand very well - sorry about that, hope someone can help us if we don't understand each other. If you are trying to use the universal language selector in VisualEditor, we know this doesn't work, there are some bugs about this already. Thanks, and sorry about that. I see that you have added an external link with VE, so I am not sure if this actually didn't work for you. Thanks again, --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年3月24日 (月) 20:19 (UTC)

Hi, Elitre. I can understand what Nonkihiguma wrote. I, too, tried to edit via VisualEditor in Japanese and the kana-kanji conversion system of VE was reallly unstable during inputting and converting. I'm very sorry to say VE as of now is not good to edit in Japanese. For example I wrote "ビジュアルエディターのテスト" in my Sandbox but the text I wrote and converted to kanji was disappeared when I tried to fix it with pushing the enter key; if I undid then, a pawn would show up: have a look at my sandbox.--miya（会話） 2014年4月3日 (木) 14:42 (UTC)

I tried one more test: at first I wrote "VisualEditor test 2" in English (which caused no trouble); when I began to input "ビジュアルエディター...", some bug occurred (I saved it) - I couldn't understand what and how happened.--miya（会話） 2014年4月3日 (木) 15:07 (UTC)

Hi miya! Sad to hear VE doesn't seem ready for prime time here. I noticed that there were hidden comments in your sandbox while you were testing with VE some days ago. This is known to be problematic in itself, so I'm making sure you know it now, and that you use a really blank page in the future :) I am not sure I understand what "the kana-kanji conversion system of VE" is :/ Can you please explain it to me? If we manage to get a step-by-step description of how the problem can be reproduced, I'll be happy to file a bug for you. I see that you have already provided such an explanation. So, did you copy/paste anything there? How do you switch between languages? Thanks, --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年4月3日 (木) 15:22 (UTC)

コメント Chromeを使っているということで、グーグル入力ツール [4] をご紹介します。使えるはずのものが使えない状況は全く解決しませんが、入力が全く出来ない状態よりは良いかと思います。例えばこの文章のほとんどはChromeの拡張を入れて入力しています。少々難があるとは思いますが、いかがでしょうか。（開発者用の話？）Google CGI API for Japanese Input からリンクされてる事もあり、同じような仕組みだとは思うのですが、「入力」ではなく「変換」を組み込むのは難しいかな。正直このツールのことはさっぱり忘れており、数年ぶりにたまたま見つけた感じです。--Frozen-mikan（会話） 2014年4月14日 (月) 03:53 (UTC)

As I said, I believe that when Universal Language Selector will work inside VisualEditor, you will be able to use a good Japanese input method and your VisualEditor experience will improve. Thanks. --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年4月16日 (水) 14:06 (UTC)

Japanese input with IME, cursor moves to wrong position.

When inputting Japanese text: 1. Turn on IME and type something like "漢字", do not press <enter> , cursor is at the end of "漢字", looks like "漢字|", contents is not added now. 2. Press <enter>, "漢字" is inserted into wiki, however cursor is located before them, looks like "|漢字". Expected result is "漢字|".

This is very annoying behavior, may happen to every CJK users. Regards,

Can you please let me know which browser, operating system and Wikipedia skin you are using, if this problem still occurs? Thanks a lot, --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年6月19日 (木) 11:33 (UTC)

Dear Elitre,I checked Visual Editor again and now it seems working good. My environment is: Win 8.1(x64), Firefox 30.0, and ATOK 2014（IME). Thanks.:)--Kayo Katsuragi（会話） 2014年6月20日 (金) 05:59 (UTC)

VisualEditor global newsletter—May 2014

This is a one-time mailing to projects that may need this information. Future newsletters will be available as opt-in only. To receive future newsletters (about one per month), please add your page to the subscribers' list at m:VisualEditor/Newsletter. You're welcome to translate to your language.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.

Did you know?

The cite menu offers quick access to up to five citation templates.  If your wiki has enabled the "参照" menu, press "参照" and select the appropriate template from the menu.

Existing citations that use these templates can be edited either using the "参照" tool or by selecting the reference and choosing the "基本" item in the "挿入" menu.

Read the user guide for more information.

The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "参照". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "基本" item in the "挿入" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.

Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.

• There is a new Beta Feature for setting content language and direction.  This allows editors who have opted in to use the "言語" tool in the "挿入" menu to add HTML span tags that label text with the language and as being left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL), like this:  <span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span>. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.
• The tool for editing mathematics formulae in VisualEditor has been slightly updated and is now available to all users, as the "数式" item in the "挿入" menu. It uses LaTeX like in the wikitext editor.
• The layout of template dialogs has been changed, putting the label above the field.  Parameters are now called "fields", to avoid a technical term that many editors are unfamiliar with.
• TemplateData has been expanded:  You can now add "suggested" parameters in TemplateData, and VisualEditor will display them in the template dialogs like required ones.  "Suggested" is recommended for parameters that are commonly used, but not actually required to make the template work.  There is also a new type for TemplateData parameters: wiki-file-name, for file names.  The template tool can now tell you if a parameter is marked as being obsolete.
• Some templates that previously displayed strangely due to absolute CSS positioning hacks should now display correctly.
• Several messages have changed: The notices shown when you save a page have been merged into those used in the wikitext editor, for consistency.  The message shown when you "<visualeditor-toolbar-cancel>" out of an edit is clearer. The beta dialog notice, which is shown the first time you open VisualEditor, will be hidden for logged-in users via a user preference rather than a cookie.  As a result of this change, the beta notice will show up one last time for all logged-in users on their next VisualEditor use after Thursday's upgrade.
• Adding a category that is a redirect to another category prompts you to add the target category instead of the redirect.
• In the "メディア" dialog, it is no longer possible to set a redundant border for thumbnail and framed images.
• There is a new Template Documentation Editor for TemplateData.  You can test it by editing a documentation subpage (not a template page) at Mediawiki.org: edit mw:Template:Sandbox/doc, and then click "Manage template documentation" above the wikitext edit box.  If your community would like to use this TemplateData editor at your project, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
• There have been multiple small changes to the appearance:  External links are shown in the same light blue color as in MediaWiki.  This is a lighter shade of blue than the internal links.  The styling of the "文字の修飾" (character formatting) drop-down menu has been synchronized with the recent font changes to the Vector skin.  VisualEditor dialogs, such as the "ページを保存" dialog, now use a "loading" animation of moving lines, rather than animated GIF images.  Other changes were made to the appearance upon opening a page in VisualEditor which should make the transition between reading and editing be smoother.
• The developers merged in many minor fixes and improvements to MediaWiki interface integration (e.g., edit notices), and made VisualEditor handle Education Program pages better.
• At the request of the community, VisualEditor has been deployed to Commons as an opt-in. It is currently available by default for 161 Wikipedia language editions and by opt-in through Beta Features at all others, as well as on several non-Wikipedia sites.

Looking ahead:  The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard.  The "キーボード ショートカット" link will be moved out of the "ページ設定" menu, into the "ヘルプ" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Thursday, 19 June 2014 at 10:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this newsletter on your own page (about once a month), please subscribe at w:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at Meta for any project. Thank you! --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 2014年5月22日 (木) 17:39 (UTC)

VisualEditor global newsletter—July and August 2014

The VisualEditor team is currently working mostly to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

Dialog boxes in VisualEditor have been re-designed to use action words instead of icons. This has increased the number of items that need to be translated. The user guide is also being updated.

The biggest visible change since the last newsletter was to the dialog boxes. The design for each dialog box and window was simplified. The most commonly needed buttons are now at the top. Based on user feedback, the buttons are now labeled with simple words (like "Cancel" or "Done") instead of potentially confusing icons (like "<" or "X"). Many of the buttons to edit links, images, and other items now also show the linked page, image name, or other useful information when you click on them.

• Hidden HTML comments (notes visible to editors, but not to readers) can now be read, edited, inserted, and removed. A small icon (a white exclamation mark on a dot) marks the location of each comments. You can click on the icon to see the comment.
• You can now drag and drop text and templates as well as images. A new placement line makes it much easier to see where you are dropping the item. Images can no longer be dropped into the middle of paragraphs.
• All references and footnotes (<ref> tags) are now made through the "参照" menu, including the "基本" (manual formatting) footnotes and the ability to re-use an existing citation, both of which were previously accessible only through the "挿入" menu. The "<visualeditor-dialogbutton-referencelist-tooltip>" is still added via the "挿入" menu.
• When you add an image or other media file, you are now prompted to add an image caption immediately. You can also replace an image whilst keeping the original caption and other settings.
• All tablet users visiting the mobile web version of Wikipedias will be able to opt-in to a version of VisualEditor from 14 August. You can test the new tool by choosing the beta version of the mobile view in the Settings menu.
• The link tool has a new "Open" button that will open a linked page in another tab so you can make sure a link is the right one.
• The "Cancel" button in the toolbar has been removed based on user testing. To cancel any edit, you can leave the page by clicking the Read tab, the back button in your browser, or closing the browser window without saving your changes.

Looking ahead

The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables. Work to support Internet Explorer is ongoing.

Feedback opportunities

The Editing team will be making two presentations this weekend at Wikimania in London. The first is with product manager James Forrester and developer Trevor Parscal on Saturday at 16:30. The second is with developers Roan Kattouw and Trevor Parscal on Sunday at 12:30. There is a VisualEditor Translation Sprint going on during Wikimania; whether you're in London or not, any contributions are welcome!

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at the VisualEditor feedback page or by joining the office hours discussion on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 09:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East and Asia) or on Thursday, 18 September 2014 at 16:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas; evening for Europe).

If you'd like to get this newsletter on your own page (about once a month), please subscribe at w:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at Meta for any project. Thank you! --Elitre (WMF), 2014年8月9日 (土) 14:40 (UTC)

TemplateData editor soon available on this Wikipedia

Hello, my apologies for writing this announcement in English. A tool for editing TemplateData will be deployed to this wiki on Thursday, 9 October. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation (or to change it). You will be able to use it by editing the template's documentation page and clicking the テンプレートデータを管理 button at the top. You can test the TemplateData editor now in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Please see more detailed instructions at Mediawiki.org (those can be translated there, and also imported on this wiki later if you need to). Don't hesitate to contact me if you need further information. Best, --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年10月7日 (火) 10:35 (UTC)

VisualEditor News #8—2014

Did you know?

TemplateData is a separate program that organizes information about the parameters that can be used in a template. VisualEditor reads that data, and uses it to populate its simplified template dialogs.

With the new TemplateData editor, it is easier to add information about parameters, because the ones you need to use are pre-loaded.

See the help page for TemplateData for more information about adding TemplateData. The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing team has reduced technical debt, simplified some workflows for template and citation editing, made major progress on Internet Explorer support, and fixed over 125 bugs and requests. Several performance improvements were made, especially to the system around re-using references and reference lists. Weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org.

There were three issues that required urgent fixes: a deployment error that meant that many buttons didn't work correctly (bugs 69856 and 69864), a problem with edit conflicts that left the editor with nowhere to go (bug 69150), and a problem in Internet Explorer 11 that replaced some categories with a link to the system message MediaWiki:Badtitletext (bug 70894) when you saved. The developers apologize for the disruption, and thank the people who reported these problems quickly.

Increased support for devices and browsers

Internet Explorer 10 and 11 users now have access to VisualEditor. This means that about 5% of Wikimedia's users will now get an "Edit" tab alongside the existing "Edit source" tab. Support for Internet Explorer 9 is planned for the future.

Tablet users browsing the site's mobile mode now have the option of using a mobile-specific form of VisualEditor. More editing tools, and availability of VisualEditor on smartphones, is planned for the future. The mobile version of VisualEditor was tweaked to show the context menu for citations instead of basic references (bug 68897). A bug that broke the editor in iOS was corrected and released early (bug 68949). For mobile tablet users, three bugs related to scrolling were fixed (bug 66697, bug 68828, bug 69630). You can use VisualEditor on the mobile version of Wikipedia from your tablet by clicking on the cog in the top-right when editing a page and choosing which editor to use.

TemplateData editor

The tool for editing TemplateData has been deployed to 30 more Wikipedias this week. Other Wikipedias and some other projects may receive access next month. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template page or a subpage, and then click the "テンプレートデータを管理" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.

Other changes

Several interface messages and labels were changed to be simpler, clearer, or shorter, based on feedback from translators and editors. The formatting of dialogs was changed, and more changes to the appearance will be coming soon, when VisualEditor implements the new MediaWiki theme from Design. (A preview of the theme is available on Labs for developers.) The team also made some improvements for users of the Monobook skin that improved the size of text in toolbars and fixed selections that overlapped menus.

VisualEditor-MediaWiki now supplies the mw-redirect and mw-disambig class on links to redirects and disambiguation pages, so that user gadgets that colour in these types of links can be created.

Templates' fields can be marked as 'required' in TemplateData. If a parameter is marked as required, then you cannot delete that field when you add a new template or edit an existing one (bug 60358).

Language support improved by making annotations use bi-directional isolation (so they display correctly with cursoring behaviour as expected) and by fixing a bug that crashed VisualEditor when trying to edit a page with a dir attribute but no lang set (bug 69955).

Looking ahead

The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon, perhaps in late October.

The team is also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables, and early work for this may appear within the month. Please comment on the design at Mediawiki.org.

In the future, real-time collaborative editing may be possible in VisualEditor. Some early preparatory work for this was recently done.

Supporting your wiki

At Wikimania, several developers gave presentations about VisualEditor. A translation sprint focused on improving access to VisualEditor was supported by many people. Deryck Chan was the top translator. Special honors also go to संजीव कुमार (Sanjeev Kumar), Robby, Takot, Bachounda, Bjankuloski06 and Ата. A summary of the work achieved by the translation community is available. Thank you all for your work.

This was the first translatable VisualEditor newsletter, so thanks to everybody who made this possible! If it hasn't been delivered in your language, and you'd like to help with translations in the future, please subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact Elitre (WMF), so that you will be notified when the next issue is due.

VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Please join the office hours on Saturday, 18 October 2014 at 18:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas; evening for Africa and Europe) and on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC on IRC.

日本語入力した行が消失するバグ

Since around 2014-10-24 a line only with Japanese text would disappear when you pushed "Enter" or input some alphabet or number. Strangely speaking if you add some alphabet or number at the left of the line, the line would not disappear even if you push "Enter" key.

2014年10月24日ごろから、VEで日本語入力した行の文末で改行したり、半角英数や半角記号を文中や文末に英文モードで直接入力すると、その行が丸ごと消失するようになりました。Windows7/Firefox・Chrome・IEでおきています（Macは未確認）。特徴を箇条書きにしますと：

• 日本語のみを入力した行は、最後に改行する（Enterを押す）と消失する。
• 日本語のみを入力した行は、文の途中　または　文末　に半角英数や半角記号を入力すると、改行（Enter）と同じく、消失する。
• 行頭に半角英数のなにかを直接入力すれば、消失しない。
• 行頭に半角英数を置くとき、直接入力ではなく、日本語入力から半角に変換（ex.　Ｃｈ： => Ch: )　した場合は、改行で消失する。
• 行頭に半角英数を置いて、改行でも消失しなかった行は、その後に改行しても、消失しなくなる。
• 行頭に半角記号のなにかを直接入力しても、消失しない。

--miya（会話） 2014年10月28日 (火) 04:21 (UTC)

追記： It looks like the same bug as bugzilla:72508. bugzilla:72508と同じ種類のバグに見えます。このバグは、普通のテキスト部分でも Media fileのCaption部分でも 起きています。

• 　他の行にマウスで移動して入力作業をして、戻ってきても、さて、改行したり半角英数を入力したりすると、消失します。
• このバグで消失した場合は、undoボタンもききません。消失する前でも、ctrl&cでコピーできません。
• leftキーやrightキーを押しても、カーソルは上下に動くだけで左右移動はできません。

以上は、2014年9月28日時点の　Windows 7　PC（Firefox 33.0.1,　Chrome 38.0.2125.104 m, IE 11.0.13） で確認しています。--miya（会話） 2014年10月28日 (火) 14:50 (UTC)

今日、日本語入力してから改行、もしくは半角英数を追加しても、日本語テキストが消えずに保持されるようになっているのに気づきました（Firefox、Chrome、IEで）。対応してくださった方々、ありがとうございました。--miya（会話） 2014年12月20日 (土) 17:27 (UTC)

メディアファイル

Even when you write a Japanese text in the Caption field, the text would disappear unless you put some alphabet or number at the left of the line (though Alternative text would not be affected at all).

画像の場合、Captionがやはり普通の日本語入力では消えてしまいます。頭に直接入力（英語モード）で半角文字をつければ、保存できます。代替テキスト（Alternative text）は、半角文字をつけなくても、ふつうに日本語入力で保存できます。--miya（会話） 2014年10月28日 (火) 06:38 (UTC)

Is any of these related to [5]? --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年10月28日 (火) 11:31 (UTC)

Anyway, now at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72619. Feel free to add there! Best, --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年10月28日 (火) 11:57 (UTC)

Thank you for creating a new bug. This may be related to bugzilla:72508, but I cant understand why it affects only the Caption, while no problem occurs in the Alternative text.--miya（会話） 2014年10月28日 (火) 14:50 (UTC)

Good news

Hi, it's me again. I'm glad to let you know (basic) table editing in VE is almost here. Should anybody want to test this new feature, please go to mw:VisualEditor:Test and choose the related option from the Insert menu. Best, --Elitre (WMF)（会話） 2014年11月6日 (木) 15:38 (UTC)

VisualEditor News #9—2014

ご存じですか?

VisualEditor is also available on the mobile version of Wikipedia. Log in and click the pencil icon to open the page you want to edit. Click on the gear-shaped settings button in the upper-right corner to pick which editor to use. Choose "編集" to use VisualEditor, or "ソースを編集" to use the wikitext editor.

It will remember whether you used wikitext or VisualEditor, and use the same editor the next time you edit an article.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor. Not all features are available on the mobile website.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and requests, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted on Meta.

最近の改善 =

Basic support for inserting tables and changing the number of rows and columns in them was just introduced to Wikipedias. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be added later.

To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus are now hidden behind a "その他" item, such as "下線" in the styling menu.

The French Wikipedia should see better search results for links, templates, and media because the new search engine was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias this week, and the following week at the English Wikipedia.

The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for non-Latin languages, with full support hopefully coming soon.

VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet.

The keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbar menus are now shown in the menus.

VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme from the User Experience/Design group. The appearance of dialog boxes has already changed in the mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. You are welcome to compare the old "Apex" design and the new "MediaWiki" theme which will replace it.

Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search engine could not find the page. A link inside a template to a local page that does not exist will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to an error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like [6] with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed.

TemplateData

The tool for quickly editing TemplateData has been deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November. This tool was already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "テンプレートデータを管理" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData to learn more about it. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.

You can use the new autovalue setting to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in this example, or to add the most common value for that parameter. The autovalue can be overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field.

In TemplateData, you may define a parameter as "required". The template dialog box in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "推奨" or "省略可能" in TemplateData instead.

Looking ahead

The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. The appearance of the media search dialog will improve, to make picking between possible images easier and more visual. The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap.

The user guide is being updated to add information about editing tables. The translations of the user guide for most languages except Spanish, French, and Dutch are significantly out of date. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language. Talk to us if you need help exporting the translated guide to your wiki.

You can influence VisualEditor's design! Tell the VisualEditor team what you want changed during the office hours via IRC. The next sessions are on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC and on Wednesday 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC. You can also share your ideas at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Also, user experience researcher Abbey Ripstra is looking for editors to show her how they edit Wikipedia. Please sign up for the research program if you would like to hear about opportunities.

VisualEditor News #10—2014

ご存じですか?

ビジュアルエディターでは基本的な表の編集ができます。ボタンをクリックして表の行や列を追加したり削除したりが可能です。

ユーザーガイドではビジュアルエディターの使い方についてさらに詳しく紹介しています。

前回のニュースレター以降、編集チームは多くのバグをつぶし、表編集とパフォーマンス向上に取り組みました。 週ごとのステータスレポートはmediawiki.org上に投稿されています。今後の予定は、ビジュアルエディターのロードマップにあります。

ビジュアルエディターはすでに数百のウィキで利用可能で、オプトイン方式のベータ版機能として11月末までに使えるようになりました。ほとんどのウィクショナリーではテンプレートに深く依存しているため、またすべてのウィキソースでは校正ページとの統合を待っているためまだ実施されていません。

最近の改善

基本的な表の編集機能が利用できるようになりました。表を追加したり削除したり、行や列を追加したり削除したり、表のキャプションを設定したり削除したり、セルを統合したりです。セルの内容を変更するには、そのセル内をダブルクリックしてください。今後何ヶ月かのうちにさらなる機能向上を予定しています。さらに、ビジュアルエディターでは壊れたり無効なrowspanやcolspan要素を、直すのではなく無視するようになりました。

ビジュアルエディター内で検索と置換が利用できるようになりました。ツールメニューからたどるか、^ Ctrl+F または ⌘ Cmd+F を押してください。

コンテンツの段落での引用とインデント化をするのに、シンプルな <blockquote> の作成と編集ができるようになりました。これは 段落 を Block quote に変更します。

コンテンツの整形に、新しいキーボードシーケンスが使えるようになりました。行のはじめに "* " を入れるとその行は順序なし箇条書きになり、"1." か "#" を入れると、順序つき箇条書きになります。"==" を入れると節見出しになり、": " では段落引用になります。このツールを使うつもりではなかった時は、undo ボタンを押すと整形をやり直せます。

この他にも2種類のキーボードシーケンスがあります。[[ ではリンクツールを開き、{{ ではテンプレートツールを開きます。いずれも経験を積んだ編集者向けの機能です。既存の標準的なキーボードショートカット、例えば ^ Ctrl+K でリンクエディタを開く、といったものもちゃんと動きます。

すでにリダイレクトされているカテゴリーを追加しようとすると、ビジュアルエディターではリダイレクト先の方を追加します。説明なしのカテゴリーページは赤く表示されます。

ウィキテキストのコードでギャラリーをふたたび作成・編集できるようになりました。

今後に向けて

現行のビジュアルエディターのデザインは、ユーザーエクスペリエンスグループによる新テーマ で置き換えられます。新テーマは、デスクトップ向けについては12月終わり頃に mediawiki.org で見られるようになりますし、その他のサイトでは1月初旬に見られるようになります。(古い"Apex"テーマと、それを置き換える新しい"MediaWiki"テーマのデベロッパープレビューが見られます。)

編集チームでは、1月に引用のための自動補完機能の追加を計画しています。

メディア検索のダイアログで予定されている変更では、ありそうな画像を選択するのがより簡単になります。

協力しましょう

• mw:VisualEditor/Feedbackで考えをシェアしたり、質問したりしてください。
• ユーザーガイドの翻訳はほとんどの言語で古くなっています。ウクライナ語、ポルトガル語、スペイン語、フランス語、オランダ語だけがほぼ現行のものです。あなたの言語のユーザー向けに、ぜひ現行版の翻訳完成のためお手伝いください。
• オフィスアワーの時間には、IRCで編集チームと話すことができます。次のセッションは2015年1月7日(水) 22:00 UTC です。
• ファブリケーター内の文字整形メニューで、言語に応じた "太字" と "斜体" のアイコンのリクエストを出してみてください。
• デザイン・リサーチチームでは、実際のエディタがどのように動くかを見てみたいと考えています。リサーチプログラムに登録 してみてください。

VisualEditor News #1—2015

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's appearance, the coming Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.

The Wikimedia Foundation has named its top priorities for this quarter (January to March). The first priority is making VisualEditor ready for deployment by default to all new users and logged-out users at the remaining large Wikipedias. You can help identify these requirements. There will be weekly triage meetings which will be open to volunteers beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at 12:00 (noon) PST (20:00 UTC). Tell Vice President of Engineering Damon Sicore, Product Manager James Forrester and other team members which bugs and features are most important to you. The decisions made at these meetings will determine what work is necessary for this quarter's goal of making VisualEditor ready for deployment to new users. The presence of volunteers who enjoy contributing MediaWiki code is particularly appreciated. Information about how to join the meeting will be posted at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal shortly before the meeting begins.

Due to some breaking changes in MobileFrontend and VisualEditor, VisualEditor was not working correctly on the mobile site for a couple of days in early January. The teams apologize for the problem.

Recent improvements

The new design for VisualEditor aligns with MediaWiki's Front-End Standards as led by the Design team. Several new versions of the OOjs UI library have also been released, and these also affect the appearance of VisualEditor and other MediaWiki software extensions. Most changes were minor, like changing the text size and the amount of white space in some windows. Buttons are consistently color-coded to indicate whether the action:

• starts a new task, like opening the ページを保存 dialog: 青 ,
• takes a constructive action, like inserting a citation: 緑 ,
• might remove or lose your work, like removing a link: red , または
• is neutral, like opening a link in a new browser window: 灰色 .

The TemplateData editor has been completely re-written to use a different design based on the same OOjs UI system as VisualEditor. (T67815, T73746.) This change fixed a couple of existing bugs and improved usability. (T73077, T73078.)

Search and replace in long documents is now faster. It does not highlight every occurrence if there are more than 100 on-screen at once.(T78234.)

Editors at the Hebrew and Russian Wikipedia requested the ability to use VisualEditor in the "Article Incubator" or drafts namespace. (T86688, T87027.) If your community would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace on your wiki, then you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.

Looking ahead

The Editing team will soon add auto-fill features for citations. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to contribute to the Citoid service's definitions for each website, to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections.

We will need editors to help test the new design of the special character inserter, especially if you speak Welsh, Breton, or another language that uses diacritics or special characters extensively. The new version should be available for testing next week. Please contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF) if you would like to be notified when the new version is available. After the special character tool is completed, VisualEditor will be deployed to all users at Phase 5 Wikipedias. This will affect about 50 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh. The date for this change has not been determined.
