On my Blog, User_blog:Sci100/2014 - A Year of Change, I asked you if you wanted to test Visual Editor out, and when. You voted on doing it this month, for a full week. So, its about that time.

Coming on January 21st, or 1/21/14.....

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 permanantly on all wikis.

I hope this isn't too much trouble, but we might as well test it out. If you have questions, ask me. - Sci.
