VisualEditor
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.
To request VisualEditor for a wiki.gg wiki:
- If your wiki is currently in Onboarding, ping @development inside of your onboarding channel
- If your wiki is public, please use the extension request ticket. If you are not an admin of the wiki you want VE on, please instead contact the wiki admins and have them fill out the ticket. If the wiki is abandoned/inactive and you want to start editing it, you can request VE yourself.
If your wiki has VE and you don't want to use it
VE is default on wiki.gg for all wikis created since February 2025, but if you want it disabled let us know and we'll disable it for you!
However, if it's enabled on your wiki and other editors want it, but you don't want to use it, go to Special:Preferences and check the "Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta" box under the "Editing" tab.
