Forum: The Situation Room > WYSIWYG editor


Hi! It's been a while since I poked my head in over here, but after the recent traffic spike when season 7 premiered, I thought I'd say hi again. If you guys need help welcoming new contributors, please let me know. If you'd like, Also, I just wanted to make sure it was okay to turn on Wikia's new WYSIWYG editor. It's a new feature that eventually all wikis will get, but I'm offering it for use early to some wikis that are getting a lot of traffic. It's optional of course, so you can turn it off if you don't like it. But I just wanted to make sure I asked the community first before I went ahead and turned it on. Please let me know if there are any questions or needs that can't be handled on the community, and I'll see what I can do about helping out. Thanks, and keep up the great work! —Scott (talk) 21:44, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Can you give us a bit more information about the new editor? --SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 21:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
The full description is here, but simply put, it's an interface that allows users to edit wiki pages with an interface that looks like a word processor. Anyone can turn it off, so it's entirely optional, but it's a great tool for people to contribute with more options. I'm not sure when the final version goes live, but turning it on here now will give this community a head start on deciding whether or not you like it. —Scott (talk) 02:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I think this is a great idea, Scott. This sounds like it would definitely be beneficial to the site. And since it can be toggled, there can't possibly do any harm in trying it. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Scott. --Proudhug 02:30, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
