VisualEditor
VisualEditor (VE) is a project to provide a "visual" or "WYSIWYG-like" online rich-text editor as a MediaWiki extension to Wikipedia. It was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation in partnership with Wikia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Wikipedia">url = https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:VisualEditor&oldid=566232325 )〕 The beta was enabled by default with the ability to opt out in July 2013 for Mediawiki.org and several of the largest Wikipedias.〔
The Wikimedia Foundation considered it the most challenging technical project to date, while ''The Economist'' has called it Wikipedia's most significant change.〔 According to the ''The Daily Dot'', Wikimedia Foundation's pursuit of wider participation may risk alienating existing editors.〔 On 24 September 2013 the English Wikipedia's VisualEditor was changed from opt-out to opt-in, following widespread complaints from users that the VisualEditor was poorly implemented and buggy.〔
==Development==
The original web-based Wikipedia editor provided by MediaWiki is a plain browser based〔other text editors are supported; see Wikipedia:Text editor support〕 text editor where authors had to learn the wiki markup language to edit. A WYSIWYG editor for Wikipedia has been planned for years in order to remove the need to learn the wiki markup language, thus reducing the technical hurdle for would-be Wikipedians, enabling wider participation in editing, and subsequently reversing the decline in editor numbers of 50,000 in 2006 to 35,000 in 2011, having peaked in 2007.〔〔 It was part a $1m project developing new features and making improvements.〔 An aim of the project is to allow both the former wiki markup editing and editing with the WYSIWYG VisualEditor. According to Wikimedia Foundation's Jay Walsh, the hope is to redress under-represented contributions from Arabic, Portuguese, and Indic-language versions of the site.〔〔Respective Wikipedia websites: (Arabic ), (Portuguese ) and Indic languages' (Urdu ), (Hindi ), (Bihari ), (Gujarati )〕
According to Wikimedia Foundation "There are various reasons that lead existing and prospective contributors not to edit; among them, the complexity of wiki markup is a major issue. One of VisualEditor’s goals is to empower knowledgeable and good-faith users to edit and become valuable members of the community, even if they’re not wiki markup experts. We also hope that, with time, experienced editors will find VisualEditor useful for some of their editing tasks."〔 In 2012, Sue Gardner, the executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, said "we don't think that the visual editor, in and of itself, is going to solve the challenge", and Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales remarked “This is epically important”.
