Here's another completely ordinary page, in the main [[namespace]], destroyed by the visual editor: | |||

Yes, the visual editor doesn't '''always''' result in this kind of code explosion. But it does it enough for it to be a worry. And I've shown another example to Wikia staff and have basically just got a "thanks for reporting the bug" response, rather than a solid workaround or solution. | Yes, the visual editor doesn't '''always''' result in this kind of code explosion.

i tend to prefer to stick to the forums on this website, and at least there it is much easier to work with visual editor imo because if one isn't doing big fancy edits in the main parts of the wiki, it is easier for me at least to work with a visual or any sort of wysiwyg layout. also, as i don't know much about source formatting i am always nervous when forced to edit in source that i will accidentally delete a character or something that is important for the layout. i understand that for the main body of the wiki there might be bigger problems that could be fixed with only using source, but could you leave the forums the option for visual editing?

:Unfortunately, no, it's not a [[namespace]]-based tool. It's either on or it's off. If you're nervous about source editing, i recommend you start with the primer at [[help:editing]] and then move on to our guide to [[help:wiki markup|wiki markup]]. Basic editing in source is honestly not hard. And it's a bit faster, cause you're not having to wait for the WYSIWIG translation. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">16:19: Fri 30 Dec 2011 </span> | |||
