:::::So the question here isn't about which editor you prefer to write with. I get that the RTE is easier from the standpoint of a single editor making a single edit. The question is whether the simplicity is worth the fact that the next editor coming to the article may have to spend 30 minutes cleaning up after an unexpected code dump. Or that the ability to perform a tedious repeated correction with a bot is thrown off by the unexpected presence of URLs. Or that putting off learning how to use source mode means that you're less able to function when even the RTE gives up on visual mode and ''forces'' source on you. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">23:25: Tue 20 Dec 2011 </span> | :::::So the question here isn't about which editor you prefer to write with.

::::::I will second the What Links Here issue. As it's an issue that affects actual editors not just the bot that CzechOut runs through the wiki to make sure everything runs smoothly. | |||
::::::I'd say that most of us would have used the "What links here" in the process of our editing and it is an invaluable part of the wiki that forms parts of simple moves and redirects to make sure links function correctly. | |||
::::::A wiki isn't just about how it looks, it's all the editing and work flow behind the scenes of the wiki and these issues the visual editor throws in really make any editing work twice as long as it should be. Being able to read an article be it when editing or when looking at the published version is at the top, and with the coding issues that the visual editor introduces it makes reading an article while in edit mode ''difficult''. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 13:44, December 21, 2011 (UTC) | |||
