Enable VisualEditor in ca.wikiquote.org
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi, I'm posting this request on behalf of the https://ca.wikiquote.org admins. They want to bring VisualEditor to their users. We have discussed this idea, and I see no problem at all. At the end, most articles there have a very simple structure with initial paragraph, some pictures, and then the same template used always for adding quotes.

I would be happy to help adding template data to the templates affected, and act as bridge in this test.

Posting a link here to community consensus might be helpful. Also should it be enabled by default or should it be enabled as a Beta Feature?

Posting a link here to community consensus might be helpful.

Fair enough. I posted https://ca.wikiquote.org/wiki/Viquidites:La_taverna#Editor_Visual_a_Viquidites

Note that the ca.wikiquote.org community of regular contributors is very small (this is why they are so interested in VisualEditor). Docosong is the only admin. Unapersona is the second most active contributor currently. ESM, KRLS, and ArnauGir are veteran contributors (the last two also ca.wiki admins helping bridging this project with the rest of Catalan-speaking sister projects).

You can wait for more voices, or you can trust the current result. :)

Also should it
be enabled by default or should it be enabled as a Beta Feature?

In our discussion at the conference, they said that they preferred to have it side by side next to the "edit source", because new users are very unlikely to find the option to enable it, or even know that such thing exists.

PLEASE REVERT THIS CHANGE ASAP

Something very weird is happening. In all pages "}}}}}}" appears instead of quotes. I mean all pages, not the ones edited with VE. Seeing the source and the history, I can't find any explanation.

See for instance https://ca.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pensaments_den_Goethe

Indeed. Sorry for the mistake and thank you for fixing it so quick.
