As I announced on Thread:200265, Visual Editor would be arriving on Ben 10 Fan Fiction Wiki for one week this month. The Testing Week has arrived.



Instead of having the normal look when you edit a page, the new Editor will look different.



Visual Editor has different buttons and different ways to edit and modify pages. We're testing this new way to edit pages because sooner or later, Wikia is going to force it on us since they have begun the DARWIN project, which is to improve Wikia.

Now some of you have already tested Visual Editor, others of you may not have. Either way, that's why we're testing it here. Now I've already tested it out for a while now, so if you have questions about Visual Editor, message me at Message Wall:Sci100, and I should hopefully have an answer for you. However, I'm still also learning new things, so I may not know everything.

That said, its gonna be very different for the week we're testing out. Users are gonna be confused, they're not going to understand the new editor, and they want to go back to the current editor we have. That's okay, they can do that. Instead of clicking "Edit", they need to click the arrow where you can find the history of a page, and click "Classic Editor". Or, instead of having veaction=edit in your URL, just remove the "ve" in it and have "action=edit" in the URL.

This test is going from 1/21/14 - 1/27/14. The rest of the month is gonna be the community deciding if we're gonna keep Visual Editor on, or if we're gonna go back to the Classic Editor until Wikia puts Visual Editor permanently on all wikis.

I hope this is a successful week trying out this new editor. - Sci
