It has been really difficult to get this far but it seems the visual editor is finally loading up correctly...well kinda. The loading bar gets about 75% of the way across then it freezes. There are no php errors just a single error in the browsers console
Uncaught Error: Unknown dependency: mediawiki.language.specialCharacters
load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=jquery%2Cmediawiki&only=scripts&skin=vector&version=20150502T1…:156
Im currently running 1.24.2. It seems like an obvious solution, but i dont know where to get and add to the dependency to95.45.40.1613:24, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi!I like how the citing template in the non-visual editor lets you search the source by isbn or doi and fills in the rest of the info. That's the main reason i use "edit source" more. Is there anyway to make this feature available in the visual editor?--Frederika Eilers (talk)15:02, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Recently was news that VE now rapidly opens. But for me it was not working. Every time I open a new wiki page and opened VE, for VE loads big js-file. I have long been using the visual editor in the firefox. Disable add-ons did not help, menu-options-privacy-delete cookies and delete cookies for ru.wikipedia.org not help. For me, it helped privacy-delete cookies and delete all cookies. Maybe it will help somebody else.

i would love visual editor to be on Wiktionary and simple WiktionaryJonnymoon96 (talk)02:06, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
In a private wiki (1.24.2) i have a self programmed extension that adds a new tag to wiki language, example: <mytag>The extension does return its content wrapped in <div></div> and therefore is editable via visual editor. Everything is working perfectly as long as i use a "begin"-tag and a "end"-tag with some content in between, like:
<mytag option="value">sometext</mytag>
In many cases it is not needed at all to have some content between begin and end tag, so it is possible to write the tag in "short" notation, like:
<mytag option="value" />
However when the "short" notation is used, after editing the tag with visual editor and nothing has been added in content field (is still empty), the complete tag will be removed.
Is this a known limitation of visual editor or do i need to fix my extension to make it properly editable in visual editor ?
Thanks for any hint in right direction.Pzirnik (talk)15:19, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
We've been using WYSIWYG editing in tons of programs for years. It slayed me the first time that I went to edit/write something in Wikipedia when I encountered the regular editor. While I've gotten used to it over time, the beta option is a giant leap forward. Nearly does away for the need of the preview button, though I like the idea that you kept the Edit Source option.
Hope this gets implemented soon!Robertjm (talk)15:36, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
This is a HUGE improvement over last editor. My only problem is with editing within the profile box section; for some reason you no longer have access too usual advanced editing tool (font size, adding references, inserting breaks etc. - it now has to be done manually (or of course through 'edit source')).Heuh0 (talk)20:58, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
