Description
The Editing team's VisualEditor initiative strives to develop a dependable rich-text editor for MediaWiki. This editor, which can be utilized as a MediaWiki extension with the assistance of the Parsoid project for HTML+RDFa, is designed in such a way that its core functionality can operate independently of MediaWiki, Parsoid, or Node.js. Since 2020, VisualEditor has been accessible to all users on MediaWiki.org and is also available on nearly all versions of Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. For many other Wikimedia projects and languages, it functions as an optional Beta Feature for logged-in users. Although VisualEditor is accessible in certain namespaces, such as the main namespace, it is typically not available in discussion or template namespaces. The issue of declining new contributor growth is perceived as one of the most significant challenges confronting the Wikimedia movement. To address this, VisualEditor was developed to eliminate unnecessary technical barriers related to Wikimedia's editing interface, which is seen as essential for boosting the number of contributors to Wikimedia projects. By simplifying the editing process, the project aims not only to enhance user experience but also to foster a more inviting environment for potential contributors.
Description
Wysihtml presents a more flexible and lenient alternative to the xing/wysihtml5 open-source rich text editor. Its code is designed to be independent of any specific library, incorporating all necessary dependencies without the need for jQuery, Prototype, or similar frameworks. The current set of bundled dependencies includes rangy.js, which has the textrange and selectionsaverestore modules, in addition to base.js. This initiative is backed by Voog and is a collaborative effort for developing a wysiwyg HTML rich text editor that anyone in web development can utilize in their projects. It is characterized by its speed and lightweight nature, along with features such as automatic URL linking while typing and producing valid, semantic HTML5—even when content is pasted from Word—without requiring iframes or jQuery. Furthermore, it is modular, allowing users to integrate their own custom tools. The project's object namespace has transitioned from wysihtml5 to wysihtml, affecting all class names and event identifiers. Additionally, the default toolbar has been transitioned into an independent module (wysihtml.toolbar.js), which must be included separately for functionality. Overall, this editor simplifies rich text editing for developers while maintaining a focus on performance and flexibility.
