Description
Allows for editing pages as rich content
Default? N

VisualEditor (VE) is an extension providing a visual "what you see is what you get" rich-content editor. It allows new editors to contribute without having to learn wiki markup.

Once installed, this editor becomes available in the form of the usual "Edit" ("Create" for new pages) button and the Alt+Shift+V hotkey. MediaWiki's default source editor stays available under the "Edit source" ("Create source") button and the Alt+Shift+E hotkey.

Tips

Hide the visual edit button

This extension may become an inconvenience to users who prefer source editing. If any of your users would like to hide the VisualEditor's 'Edit' button and keep just the source edit buttons, they may either:

• Head to Special:Preferences's Editing tab on any VisualEditor-enabled wiki and tick the "Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta" box. This will apply to every wiki on the platform.
• Head to Special:MyPage/common.css on a wiki and insert the following CSS, then refresh their cache for the changes to take effect:

/* Hide VisualEditor's "Edit" button */
#ca-ve-edit {
  display: none;
}
