@Cacycle: It’s been a while since the above message. If you don’t care about pre-RL clients, the following line should fix the problem (instead of lines 18347–18350):

globalScopeCode += 'wikEd.wikiGlobals.' + names[i] + '=mw.config.get("' + names[i] + '");';

While checking log entries to see how many daily requests would be broken by fixing T41936: Limit on number of piped values in API should throw an error, I noticed a request that seems to be due to your editor. In particular, I see in wikEd.LinkInfoCall() that you're extracting links without batching them to the maximum number allowed for the titles parameter. You can check the maximum by making a call to action=paraminfo, or you would be reasonably safe in hard-coding it to 50 (500 for users with the 'apihighlimits' right, e.g. sysops).

I can reproduce the issue while logged out (in a private browsing window) by going to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paul_Warfield&action=edit and using the code at User:Cacycle/wikEd installation#Complete version to load wikiEd. Getting your bug report thing to work in that situation was something of a pain (it doesn't seem to like being used while logged out), but eventually I monkey-patched it well enough to produce output:

• Date: 2017-07-17 15:53:18 UTC
• wikEd version: 0.9.148 (March 20, 2017)
• Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 (Linux x86_64)

• User subpages: None, IP user
• User/skin.js: None, IP user
• User/common.js: None, IP user
• Error console: No error messages are produced. But if you open the one POST to api.php and look at the response, it includes a warning "Too many values supplied for parameter "titles". The limit is 50.". The request includes 114 titles.
• Problem description: See above
• Steps to reproduce: Just load the editor on the page. Note that bots and sysops have the 'apihighlimits' right, so you'll want to either use an unprivileged account or find a page with over 500 links.

Also, a suggestion: If you set the Api-user-agent HTTP header in your API requests to something appropriate, it will be easier for me to identify when an issue is due to wikiEd and you'll be able to use Special:ApiFeatureUsage to watch for issues yourself.

I started a section at the help page with a convenient shortcut since this appears to be a common query elsewhere. Review WP:WIKEDNBSP.

Your request doesn't have consensus, and anyway isn't a part of MediaWiki but instead this script, so the request on Phabricator will likely close as invalid. --Izno (talk) 02:23, 24 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please fix it. Some "dumb as posts" admins have already warned me, and removed comments, for editing other user talk page comments because the editor inserts the nbsp character anywhere it sees fit. It shows in diffs as a change by an editor that they didn't make and can't undo. The editor should not make any changes in a work where the edit is attributed to a user. It's a false attribution. Run a bot if the wiki needs changes, not a random fix by the editor. --DHeyward (talk) 08:31, 26 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

It's irritating for authors when wikEd executes automatic changes (corrections) because most users of wikEd don't know that wikEd does this and thus don't expect this behaviour and are puzzeled about this changes, they didn't make. Furthermore they dont have any clue where these changes might come from or will expect an edit-conflict which of course can't be found in the history of the page, what also leaves them puzzeld.
DHeyward correctly mentioned the problem, that by this behaviour also signed contributions of other users (e. g. in talk pages and other pages requesting singning of contributions) are changed, what thwarts the idea of signig ones contributions. If this replacement function should be kept, it must be disabled for any edits in Talk namespaces and other namespaces and pages that request the singning of contributions.
The automatic replacement also causes problems in the name-parameter of the Template:Coord (also in eqivalent templates in other languages wikipedias like de:Vorlage:Coordinate), because any entity placed in the value of this parameter, is put into the URL which is created by the template, in a way, that it is passed to the GeoHack as entity, and also appears als entity (e. g. ″ ″) in the headline of the GeoHack. Thus a non-breaking space in the value of the parameter name of the Coordinate-Templates must not be changed into an entity  . If the general automatic replacement function should be kept, wikEd must learn to distinguish between the mentioned cases, and behave apropriate to the context (namespace and template-parameter). --X:: black ::X (talk) 12:15, 8 February 2018 (UTC), updated 12:23, 8 February 2018 (UTC) and 12:31, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I fully agree with other editors' concerns about this function. Please either 1) remove it entirely, or 2) make it optional via a user-side parameter, or 3) replace the found non-standard characters with regular blanks instead of NBSPs (whichever option is best from a technical POV). I greatly appreciate all the work you have done to provide a lot of useful functionality for editors, but this one is actually counterproductive. GermanJoe (talk) 09:38, 2 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

According to the Phabricator ticket, it turns out Visual Editor was adding invisible   and wikEd was simply making them visible. — Dispenser 13:03, 2 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

The WikEd feature still changes editor signatures (which is discouraged as cosmetic change of talkpage messages imo) and in article content derived from other sources (like old browsers or external editing software). Hopefully the VE flaw will be fixed, but that doesn't solve the underlying problem in this tool itself. GermanJoe (talk) 11:31, 11 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

As long as wikEd isn't able to use this nbsp-replacement feature only in those contexts where it is useful, or this nbsp-replacement feature isn't removed entirely, it should be made optional (e. g. by customization of wikEd). User:Cacycle/wikEd customization#Customization describes the options to customize wikEd. Among the user configurable variables in User:Cacycle/wikEd.js is already:
// convert all   character entities to actual characters for textarea editing and saving (not recommended)
if (wikEd.config.nbspToChar === undefined) { wikEd.config.nbspToChar = false; } .
This one will perhaps not solve this problem, but if it's possible to have replacements the one and the other way round, it should also be possible to just leave both, the character and the nbsp-entity, as they are. The above mentioned template-case shows, that in some cases it's necessary to have both within one page. --X black X (talk) 12:31, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I noticed that in some browsers there is a problem with pasting text from links - often the Left-to-right character is inserted as well. I don't know that this is particular to wikEd, but it would be nice if wikEd had a feature or button to make it easy to cleanup Left-to-right characters, and maybe other invisible characters, before posting. -Furicorn (talk) 20:31, 30 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Im along time user of Wikipedia and WikEd but lately I've developed minor vision issues. I've figured out how to magnify the text of Wikipedia without magnifying images and basic layout elements (i.e. without using browser zoom), and I like it that way.

One feature that's right next to the "Text zoom cycling" button is labeled "Simple view: hide refs, templates, and table code" and whichever setting I choose for that sticks with me between edit sessions. But I seem to have to set the text zoom manually on every edit which requires a few clicks (either four or shift plus two). Also, at least in this session, zooming seems to have made it so my usual method of saving an edit (tab,tab,enter) doesn't work and I have to manually click the Save button. Is this intentional, and is there any other way I can make the magnification permanent? i.e. using CSS properties perhaps?

I'm glad to see WikEd is still being actively developed in order to keep up with changes in Wikipedia and to add new features. Thank you for your effort and time. —Soap— 16:38, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Reply to self ... still interested, but while researching the next question I looked through the code and it seems that WikEd simply inherits its text size from the internal editor, which explains why the text is also not magnified when I turn off WikEd. —Soap— 23:00, 20 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Further reply ... this edit solved my problem for the mainspace and anything that uses the same CSS style (possibly nearly everything except other code pages). The coloring seems different somehow, but that's probably just an illusion caused by the text becoming less bold as it gets larger. —Soap— 23:11, 20 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

I could have sworn there used to be a section in the Customization doc about increasing the height of the main box, but I can't find the right code anywhere. Does anyone know how to do it? Pariah24 (talk) 01:47, 15 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

I guess I can just drag the box down every time; it would be nice to not have to do that though. Pariah24 (talk) 02:56, 15 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

I may be able to help. In the JavaScript source code for WikEd there is a series of lines that says

// frame

'.wikEdFrameHtml': 'height: 100%; width: 100%; padding: 0; margin: 0; background: transparent; background-image: url({wikEdImage:resizeGrip}); background-attachment: fixed; background-position: right bottom; background-repeat: no-repeat; line-height: normal;',

'.wikEdFrameBodyPlain': 'height: auto; min-height: 100%; width: auto; background: transparent; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-left: 0.25em; overflow: auto; font-family: monospace;',

'.wikEdFrameBodySyntax': 'height: auto; min-height: 100%; width: auto; background: transparent; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-left: 0.25em; overflow: auto; font-family: monospace;',

'.wikEdFrameBodyNewbie': 'height: auto; min-height: 100%; width: auto; background: transparent; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-left: 0.25em; overflow: auto; font-family: monospace;',

Have you tried changing the height: values in those lines? You probably would only need to change one, since it looks like WikEd has three modes, and I've only ever used the Syntax mode. I was able to resize the window in Chrome's toolbox by changing the height: value of .wikEdFrameBodySyntax to a random number. This might mean that making a similar change in your userspace would resize the textbox permanently. But whereas I solved a problem of my own by editing my CSS file, I think you would need to edit your custom.js file instead. —Soap— 23:19, 20 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

You should be able to change CSS using CSS subpage (e.g. .wikEdFrame { height: 35em; }). If it doesn't work for first, try adding !important (i.e. .wikEdFrame { height: 35em !important; }). CodeEditor will complain about it, but it's OK. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:04, 21 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Tacsipacsi: Are you saying to put it in common.css rather than common.js? Pariah24 (talk) 19:06, 22 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

If you have pure CSS code, it should go to common.css. If you have styles in JavaScript for some reason, it should go to common.js. So the following is CSS:

.wikEdFrame {
	height: 35em;
}

while this is JS:

wikEd.config.frameCSS['.wikEdFrame'] = 'float: left; width: 100%; border: 0; height: 35em;';

(you have to add all the default styles in the latter form in order not to override them, it's automatically done when you use CSS). --Tacsipacsi (talk) 20:34, 22 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Cacycle! I have a minor visual problem I was hoping you could resolve. So when I try to do a pipe trick (e.g., [[Pipe (water)|]]) the live preview doesn't seem to render it properly (it'll come out as [[Pipe (water)|]]). Clicking the standard "Show Preview" button renders it properly as an internal link. Any fixes for this tiny problem? Thanks! --Tenryuu (talk) 22:28, 24 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

It's not only about the pipe trick, but everything which is changed while saving, like template substitutions, signatures etc. It's because wikEd doesn't use the pst parameter, so

	// API request
	if ( (	wikEd.wikiGlobals.wgEnableAPI === true || wikEd.wikiGlobals.wgEnableAPI === 'true' ) && livePreview === true ) {
		var postFields = {
			'format': 'xml',
			'action': 'parse',
			'title': wikEd.pageName,
			'text': textValue
		};

should be changed to

	// API request
	if ( (	wikEd.wikiGlobals.wgEnableAPI === true || wikEd.wikiGlobals.wgEnableAPI === 'true' ) && livePreview === true ) {
		var postFields = {
			'format': 'xml',
			'action': 'parse',
			'pst': '1',
			'title': wikEd.pageName,
			'text': textValue
		};

(maybe it could use mw.Api for easier response processing and maintenance). --Tacsipacsi (talk) 12:38, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

I suggest:

1. nesting the subpage in this page, or creating a link to the security-sensitive code subpage,

....so that normal non-administrators like me, who have over a decade of mediawiki and wikipedia experience, but happen not to be administrators, can edit this page.

In addition, if a link was created to the security-sensitive code if would make the main page easier to read.

I love WikiEd and use it every day. And when I do, other editors come on by and reformat the references. The funny thing is that each of the articles I edit with WikiEd gets formatted from the WikiEd reference formatting inconsistently to a variety of other preferred formats by other editors. I stopped caring a while ago but what a waste of time. What actually means that sometimes editors come on by to format refs one way and another follows and re-formats the refs another. I personally believe it to be a waste of time to make such tidy formatting changes, but hey! It's WP and anyone can edit the encyclopedia any way they would like. I guess in my perfect version of WikiEd, editors could sail on by and select a citation style they prefer. So if there was a change that could be made it would be to give referencing options for other editors so they could be able to reformat all the references in an article into their preferred formats.

wikEd.LinkInfoCall does not batch the titles it passes to the API. This results in it only checking the first 50 (500 for admins) links/images/templates/etc on the page, and triggering the "too-many-titles-for-query" warning from the API if it's attempting to check more.

To avoid this, you'll need to split the titles into batches and make an API query for each batch. You could do batches of 50 always, or you could increase the batch size to 500 if the user has the apihighlimits right.

FYI I'm planning on turning that warning into an error soon, at which point wikEd's redirect checking will break entirely on pages with too many links/images/templates/etc until this issue is fixed.

I found Online wikEd-diff-tool and it is great!

It would be superb if made into a Talk page template that might be dropped into a contentious section, enabling pacification of edit warriors. Keeping Talk page section size (with margins and chrome) and screen size in mind, default would be one article section of existing article or x# of words max.

Alternatively, perhaps simpler, would it be possible to extend existing Online wikEd-diff-tool functionality by either::

1. generating a URL link to a particular diff (preferred), or
2. exporting to clipboard &/or text file of color-coded diff wikitext, for paste back onto Talk page to show effect of proposed additions, deletions, and block moves. Footer bar for color-coded legend.

(If 1, additional note on restful URL, following toolname base URL: PAGENAME#SECTION-DATETIME perhaps ideal, if navigation to &/or paste of article section name allowed; otherwise just DATETIME, if unidentified text copy pasted)

As is, it requires each interested editor to: perform two copy and pastes, switching back and forth between Talk page proposed text, online tool, article text, back to tool, and then back to Talk page to maybe say what they saw, what they liked and why, and what they didn't like and why -- each and every time they want to compare two versions. That ain't happening on the flaming pages I've visited over the years: not known (why a Talk page template would increase use and visibility far more than alternatives 1 & 2), too laborious, and not verifiable without repeating each step.

Even if it did happen, seeing is believing. This enhancement proposal, like your diff tool when used, has the potential to quench a lot of fires. Thanks for your hard work! -- Paulscrawl (talk) 16:06, 19 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Been having a problem over the last two weeks with wikiEd running paragraphs together and inserting extraneous newlines. Running with Vector in Firefox on Windows and MacOS Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:16, 30 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I get the same with Firefox, Monobook, Windows 10. The item in the next section below is the same. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:05, 30 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Same here. The annoying part is that these newlines are initially not visible, at least not until one clicks on "Preview". When copy-pasting, one is therefore forced to preview the changes first and delete the superfluous newlines before saving. No such behavior with Chrome 67.0.3396.79. GregorB (talk) 08:49, 12 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hawkeye7, Chiswick Chap - things did not get better I presume? For me, it's as if it has gotten worse: paragraphs stick together and there is no way to separate them other than turning wikEd off. GregorB (talk) 09:55, 7 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

You can use the preview function to look at them, then go back in and insert additional newlines so it looks right. There are two related problems: it also inserts newlines when you don't want them; and the cursor insertion point is frequently wrong. In the Mac I've switched to Safari, which doesn't have the problem. I hoped that Firefox 61 would fix the problem., but it doesn't. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:04, 7 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Well, as a user all I can say is that over the past ten years, it's worked really well, and in the past few months, something really odd has happened with it. Perhaps the issue is not with wikEd but with something that it interfaces with (maybe some interfaces have been helpfully updated, and the lack of wikEd maintenance has meant it hasn't kept up), I have no way of knowing, but wikEd no longer behaves as it did, as I and others have truthfully reported.

I'm not disputing your claim, other than the "I had the impression that several fixes had been attempted"-part. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 08:06, 11 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

This is all caused by Firefox updates. IIRC, new releases of Firefox broke the c/p and newline behavior at least 3 or 4 times. I imagine this is not easy to fix at all, particularly while maintaining compatibility with Chrome. Unfortunately wikEd is borderline usable for me at the moment, I have to keep it switched off half the time. GregorB (talk) 08:22, 11 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm experiencing these issues, too, using Win10 and Firefox 61 (64-bit). The random, (but frequent) insertion of extraneous newlines is "relatively new" (I think – I've been inactive, so it could be years old), as is the (rare) "sticking together" of 'graphs (workaround seems to be to insert an HTML comment on it's own line in between the 'graphs). The insertion of a newline in front of pasted text and inconsistent failure of BS and DEL to delete it (i.e. re-join the lines), is pretty old. I really like WikEd, and don't want to have to switch to something else. Are there any plans to work on it? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 08:02, 15 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm bumping this topic - unfortunately there seems to be no progress, and it's been months now since I've disabled wikEd due to this issue (i.e. messing up newlines while doing most non-trivial edits). I really hope it gets fixed some day - no wikEd for me in the meantime, regrettably (I do turn it on temporarily, for certain edits, but that's all). GregorB (talk) 12:18, 28 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Is it possible that this issue relates to the Firefox config editor.use_div_for_default_newlines which defaults to true? Changing it to false as Firefox offshoots like Waterfox & Pale Moon have as the default value seems to take the problem away for me. Nthep (talk) 15:35, 24 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

On some wikis that use darker skins (and contrasting bright text), the editor appears to use its own skin and causes the text to become near unreadable such as here (The Cancel text, "This is a minor change", and "Watch this page" are legible only when highlighted).

I've tried to follow instructions reporting this. I do the control-click and I get a message box with useful information. I cannot figure out how copy the contents of this box to paste here. I am using Chrome on Windows 10. Let me know what I can try here to get this information to you.

I have accidentally activated full screen mode. As reported above this creates a messy situation and so obviously you don't want to use this feature. The problem is I am unable to get out of full screen mode. I can disable WikEd using the button I control-clicked on above. When I re enable, it is not in full screen mode but the full screen mode button is pressed and I can't unpress it. WikiEd is now coming up in this unusable full screen mode by default.

O.K. Where can i find the last version before that was working without this problem?

Then i would try to make an local installation of wikEd of this version.

My guess is that the problem was actually caused by a new version of Firefox (I'm assuming here you use Firefox). If that is true, the solution is rather to:

1. Use Chrome (no problems in Chrome, as far as I can tell), or
2. Downgrade Firefox to a sufficiently old version (I'm guessing 59) that does not cause this behavior.

Unfortunately, none of the above is really an option for me. GregorB (talk) 20:09, 17 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your answer and your work at wikEd!

Indeed i am using Firefox under Debian 8 and it has get an security update to Firefox 60.4.0.esr.

It seems really that Firefox is not usable any more :-(

But Chrome Spyware can't be really the alternative.

Pol098 (talk) 18:24, 24 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

[Added April 2019: this seems to be the same issue as reported in the previous section, "paragraph errors"]

Issue which may be due to WikEd: with 32-bit Firefox (FF) under Windows10/64 (both up-to-date as of 23Ja19), since a few months ago (with several updates to FF and Windows), blank lines are squeezed out when saving edited Wikipedia pages. This was reported by another user on 23 Jan 19. In my experience the problem manifests under FF but not Google Chrome (I haven't tested other browsers, but expect they're OK) if WikEd is enabled, but not if WikEd is turned off. Syntax highlighting is enabled.

Issue: when editing a Wikipedia page, if carriage return is pressed twice at the end of a paragraph and more text typed, it should appear below with one intervening blank line. What actually happens is that the edited text appears in the editor as normal, but on saving (or previewing) the new text follows immediately after the existing text, with no blank line. This happens when entering new text or editing existing text. If I paste text with line breaks from a text editor, it seems to be OK. Existing text which I haven't edited does not have this problem.

With FF32, Win10/64, WikEd enabled, edit section Halogen lamp#Phase-out. Position the cursor at the end of text. Press CR twice, and type a line of text. Press CR twice and type another line. Press CR 3 times (2 blank lines), and enter a last line. Click preview. What shows on the screen, correctly, before the preview:
vvvvvvvvvv
[blah blah] August 2018}}</ref>

This is the first test line, preceded and followed by 2 CRs

This is another line, followed by 3 CRs (2 blank lines)

This is the last line.
^^^^^^^^^^

After the preview, in edit mode (I've typed in breaks to show the editor page):
vvvvvvvvvv
[blah blah] August 2018}}</ref>
This is the first test line, preceded and followed by 2 CRs
This is a another line, followed by 3 CRs (2 blank lines)

This is the last line.
^^^^^^^^^^

The saved/previewed text runs on without paragraph breaks, of course.

===(New comment on bug)===

I was just going through the preliminaries to reporting this myself, and am glad to see that Pol098 has already done so - but thought that I may as well add the only differences in my environment compared to theirs (that I know of) - else all the same:

• Browser: Firefox 64.0.2
• Gadgets: Twinkle. (Don't know of any scripts, apart from WikEd?]
• URLs - multiple. Most recently https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zip-line&action=edit
• I found it impossible to reproduce consistently, sorry - but I think that it may only happen with Syntax Highlighting (sometimes).

I must also add the link to my BugZilla report, which I made before before the suggestion from Pol098 that it was related to WikEd. They're asking for further info there now but I might just point them at this entry. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:02, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Additional issue: sometimes an unwanted blank line is inserted. In particular, when adding text with several points preceded by "*" there should be no blank lines between the items. I was careful not to type in unnecessary CRs (and the edit page did not show any before saving), but found that blank lines had been inserted between several (but not all!) pairs of items. Pol098 (talk) 20:26, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I suggested a few workarounds on the WP:Help page cited; here they are:
1: after a paragraph I press Enter twice or more, then <br />, then Enter once or twice more, followed by more text. I preview the result, and find that most line breaks have been removed, but typically there is <br /> on a line by itself, followed by one or more blank lines (sometimes there is a blank line before the <br />). I put the cursor on the last blank line, and backspace to delete all except the first blank line. When I save that it is usually OK.
2: I open the page in Google Chrome, which does not have this problem, if necessary copying the page in edit mode with my edits from Firefox.
3: I think that copying the edit page into a text editor (Notepad++), getting the blank lines right, and copying back, works. I don't remember as I rarely do this.
Note: the obvious trick of adding a line containing one space—CR, space, CR, instead of CR, CR— adds two blank lines instead of one, though one can then be deleted. Pol098 (talk) 16:04, 3 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

10 May 19 update: I have the impression that the problem has got slightly worse with the release of Firefox 66.0.5 (32-bit in my case). Inserting blank lines and <br />s, previewing, and deleting redundant blanks and breaks sometimes doesn't work unless more blank lines than previously needed are added. Whether this whole issue is due purely to FF, or WikEd has a part, I can't say. Pol098 (talk) 14:53, 10 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Changing editor.use_div_for_default_newlines from true to false in Firefox is the fix, but if anyone wants to know the detail: this is entirely down to Firefox, nothing at all to do with WikEd. A few revisions ago Firefox decided to change the default way its rich text editor rendered a paragraph break. The change is described here. 'If you type “Firefox” and hit Enter between “Fire” and “fox”, the result HTML would be <div>Fire</div><div>fox</div> instead of Fire<br />fox.'

I suppose wikEd could be tweaked to handle this, which would help people who haven't seen this page. From here: 'Pages or embedders that want to keep the old behavior can run the following command: document.execCommand("defaultParagraphSeparator", false, "br")'

I can't find a way to make your code run in my wiki anymore. Can you take a look at their site and make a fix? Thank you 117.4.253.117 (talk) 03:33, 14 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Please have a look at this line:

if ( ( wikEd.wikiGlobals.wgEnableAPI === true ) || ( wikEd.wikiGlobals.wgEnableAPI === 'true' ) && ( livePreview === true ) ) {

Because of the boolean priority, and because wgEnableAPI is always true (but this will change soon, see Tech News 2019-25), the conditional is always true and the according branch is executed, whether livePreview is true or false.

So there are two things to review and eventually fix:

When I enable the "wikEd: alternative full-featured integrated text editor for Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome (documentation)" gadget, I receive an edit conflict with about 75% (approximately) of my edits, even though the edit goes through. It might be interacting with another gadget I have enabled, or a script perhaps. I have tried in Chrome and Edge, on different computers in different locations. I had someone else try and they said they did not encounter the issue. Kees08 (Talk) 22:31, 10 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hm, I hadn't thought of that as the reason for my edit conflicts that aren't really edit conflicts. I've had the problem for weeks. Doug Weller talk 13:37, 11 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

I have exactly the same problem running wikEd in Google Chrome browser under Windows 10 Pro (all always up to date). The problem began around mid-2019. I used the same setup for several years before mid-2019 with no false edit conflict notices. Do you have any idea what might have changed in wikEd, or in Chrome, to cause false edit conflict notices? Does the problem occur in other browsers?—Finell 05:58, 29 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

wikEd works for me, in Google Chrome browser under Windows 10 Pro, in Talk, Help, WP, and User namespaces (at least) in English Wikipedia and also in Meta-Wiki (meta.wikimedia.org). According to wikEd documentation, wikEd should work at any website that runs MediaWiki software.—Finell 06:11, 29 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

WikEd can add or remove Wikilinks, which is very useful. To add a link, select a portion of text and mouse-click the Wiki link icon in the bar above WikEd (the first icon in the second row, for me at least). To remove a link, highlight a section of text with several links, then click the Wiki link icon, and all Wikilinks will be removed.

Accurate selection is required. It would be useful to add a little flexibility:

• If already linked text is clicked without the delimiting square bracket pairs, at present WikEd adds an extra "[[...]]". It would be useful to check if the text is already linked and, if so, delete the link as if the whole link, with delimiters, had been selected. E.g., if selecting [[some text]], it would be useful for the Wiki link button to change this to "some text" (without brackets) rather than the present "[[[[some text]]]]". This would be particularly useful for single-word links: double-click to highlight the word to unlink without surrounding brackets, then click Wiki link button.
• Possibly if selection for unlinking is slightly inaccurate, with only one of the two square brackets selected, check for this possibility: treat "[[linked text]]" as "[[linked text]]"

Perhaps wait and see if others agree or disagree with this suggestion, then consider implementing it if reasonably straightforward?

I would like to see the feature "Capitalization of headers and lists" removed because it is capitalising things inappropriately like infobox parameters and headings that shouldn't be capitalised. This feature is also not helpful in any way and there are far too many false positives. This capitalisation of "mRNA" is inappropriate and I had to revert it in the next edit. The feature to convert HTML to wikicode is extremely helpful but the capitalisation feature is not at all helpful and should be removed. Pkbwcgs (talk) 09:29, 1 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure if the Fandom domain has some sort of Javascript or other code that prevents the editor from appearing, but even after following the instructions for complete installation in my user page's common.js, I still can't get the WikEd toolbars to appear on any Fandom sites. Am I doing something wrong? --Tenryuu (🐲 • 💬 • 🌟) 07:50, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Tenryuu: I see a warning “visit your preferences to switch to the old MediaWiki editor” on Fandom with JavaScript disabled. I don’t have a Fandom account, so I can’t use Special:Preferences; have you tried that? For me wikEd seems to load cleanly, but nothing appears, probably because there’s nowhere to add the wikEd UI to. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 17:09, 18 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Leela52452: Is it working when using another browser (e.g. the default Android browser) or when using a different device or a PC? Then it is probably related to the cache not being cleared. Cacycle (talk) 07:14, 30 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Leela52452: Maybe because you use the mobile interface? The mobile editor is so different from the desktop one that the wikEd user interface would need to be almost rewritten from scratch to support it. There’s a “Desktop” link at the bottom of each page that lets you switch to the desktop view. wikEd should work there. (If you’d like to stick to the mobile view by default and switch to desktop view just sometimes, instead of the “Desktop” link, you can check the Request desktop site checkbox in Firefox’s three-dot menu, and then remove the “m.” from the domain in the URL bar, e.g. change https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Cacycle, have you ever looked into setting up Special:Tags for edits made in wikEd? AWB did it a while ago at phab:T111663. It could be an "advertising tool" for wikEd. I'm sure you remember the nbsp thing a couple of years ago, and I think we would have figured out what was going on sooner if we'd been able to see the editing tools that people were using. Ping me if you need help (or maybe talk to Reedy, who of course knows a lot more about how to do it than I do). I'd love to see tags on wikEd edits.

Hi, yet another post asking about the compatibility between this and Fandom. I recently installed Tampermonkey with the WikEd script. I went on some other wiki sites where I did not install the script as Javascript and confirmed that it works. It even works on Gamepedia, which is a property of Fandom. However it doesn't seem to work on anything that has "fandom" in its URL (e.g., [6]). Anyone know why that is? Is the software somewhat different? --Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝) 22:29, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

• Wikipedia skin: Vector or Monobook, doesn't seem to matter
• User scripts that you have installed on your Special:Mypage/skin.js and Special:Mypage/common.js pages (if any): On Wikipedia I have loads of scripts installed, on this new wiki I have none. Issue happens on both.

• Web address (URL) of the page or wiki installation where you experience your problems: Wikipedia and https://wiki.endmyopia.org

The following doesn't happen in Firefox. I go to my sandbox page and try to save an edit, this generates an edit conflict 25-50% of the time. This happens on all articles across the wiki.

I believe I can replicate the issue on my account, but I tried the code from before my changes and the issue is still present. Interestingly the issue is not present on my other account User:Jdlrobson. I think what has happened here is some sort of style change to the editor or another gadget, but they appear to be unrelated to my change. There have always been 2 boxes, but one has always been positioned to give the illusion of one.

Just to confirm this is what I'm seeing:

I see the same two boxes, but the box where you have typed "asas" is about twice the height on my account, and it is clearly above the box that has the dropdown list, not overlapping it at all.

Is this what you're seeing Chris? ~Awilley (talk) 16:35, 22 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'm seeing the same issue, as per Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Double_edit_summary?. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:56, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

For a few months now I've had the same problem in Wikidata and in Wikipedia with the subject line and the summary line. You always have to fill out both lines identically, otherwise you will have big problems publishing posts in forums and editing Wikipedia articles. In addition, the buttons in the German language setting are sometimes displayed in German and sometimes in English (Preview instead of Vorschau anzeigen).

  Duplicate subject line

  Duplicate summary line

Please fix the bug. Thx. --HarryNº2 (talk) 03:05, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

I've noticed this a few times; as there's a discussion here I'll add a brief comment. It seems (or seemed?) to happen to me now and again, but not systematically. I haven't found it to be a big problem. The dual summary boxes haven't appeared recently, with no noteworthy change to my system that I can identify, but I wouldn't be surprised if they reappear. I always use WikEd, but haven't made tests to see whether it happens with the standard editor. I'm always using the latest Firefox version, with a lot of extensions, with up-to-date Win10/64.

Its been three years and Im just now getting back to the question I brought up here. It seems that the font size of 13px is hard-coded into the WikEd script ... could the developer(s) change this by turning it into a variable so that people will be able to change the size of the font that loads in the edit window?

Thanks, —Soap— 02:25, 12 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I should qualify that .... I seem to have thought three years ago that it inherits the font size from some other source .... even if that is true, can it be made customizable within WikEd? It seems like it should behave the same way any CSS variable does. —Soap— 02:27, 12 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

And I also want to add that the naive solution of adding

.wikEdFrameBodySyntax
{
    font-size: 150% !important;     
    line-height: 150% !important; 
}

does not work either. —Soap— 02:42, 12 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I don't know if I'm missing something, but I adjust the font size in the edit window by using my browser's zoom function; I use Ctrl-plus and minus; there's also a View>Zoom mouse option. While I always use Firefox, I can't imagine any browser lacking this capability. I've never felt the need to change the default size in the editor itself. HTH, Pol098 (talk) 14:43, 13 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Yes I know about that. My eyesight isnt that bad, but the amount of text zoom I'd want would make editing inconvenient since browser zoom applies to the entire page and not just one textarea within it. I've done it a few times for large edits, but zooming in to edit and then zooming back out to read gets annoying too. WikEd has its own built-in zoom as well, but it's buggy, and starts out by getting smaller instead of larger .... so the few extra clicks adds up for someone like me who mostly makes small edits. Also I suppose I would get used to it, but it took me quite a long time to find the zoom button even after reading the user manual. —Soap— 17:33, 13 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Summary: the WikEd Wiki link button removes all simple wikilinks from a selection with several links - I don't know if this is by design, or just fortunate; maybe it's only intended to deal with single links. But if the selection includes piped wikilinks, some unlinked text is deleted, I think from the first link to just before the first piped one; this is either an error, or due to my pushing WikEd beyond its specification. I didn't find information about this in the documentation - I may have missed it.

Problem description: I'm not sure if this is a problem, or if I am trying to do more than WikEd is supposed to. I often use the "Wiki link" button to remove wikilinks from selected text. I have found that I can usually select a section of text with several wikilinks, and the button will remove all the links in the selected text. I think this always works, reliably, if there are no piped links, but if the selection includes non-piped links and a piped link, non-linked text is deleted, I think from the first link until the first piped link. I have tested this with sentences from the following gibberish:

[Text that gets corrupted by the WikEd Wiki link button if a piped link is included in the selection, but not if a pipeless selection is made (some, but not all, links are piped)):
Nowiki'd source text: The variant has become dominant in the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. If I highlight part of the previous sentence and click "Wiki link", the result is corrupted: "dominant in the Ireland". This is another [[example]] with several wiki[[link]]s but no pipes that will all be removed without [[corruption]]. This is another [[example]] with several wiki[[link]]s with [[Pipe|piped links]] that [[qwerty|will]] display [[corruption]]. (becomes "This is another piped links that will display corruption.") If there [[are]] several [[pipe|piped links]] as in this [[example|case]] the [[result|outcome]] is [[like this]]. ("If there piped links as in this case the outcome is like this.")]

Rendered text: The variant has become dominant in the United Kingdom and Ireland. If I highlight part of the previous sentence and click "Wiki link", the result is corrupted: "dominant in the Ireland". This is another example with several wikilinks but no pipes that will all be removed without corruption. This is another example with several wikilinks with piped links that will display corruption. (becomes "This is another piped links that will display corruption.") If there are several piped links as in this case the outcome is like this. ("If there piped links as in this case the outcome is like this.")]

Maybe this got missed because of the large amount of extra information required; the problem remains, I summarise: when removing several wikilinks with the WikiEd link button, if some of the links are piped some linked text is simply deleted, corrupting the article if not noticed. Details in the Problem description above. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 14:32, 16 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Steps to Reproduce:

• Edit the section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR5_SDRAM#DIMMs_versus_memory_chips (now fixed, so see video...)
• Insert 2 newlines between paragraphs
• Click "Publish changes" or "Changes"
• Note that 1 newline is missing

Turning off wikEd fixed the problem. Thue (talk) 11:20, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Firefox presumably? Search for "SOLVED" in section wikEd bug report: blank lines deleted. HTH, Pol098 (talk) 11:46, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Yes, probably the same issue. I don't really see how it is "solved" if the problem still occurs in the production version editors meet, but I turned wikEd off now, so I don't really care too much :P. Thue (talk) 18:46, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Solved by a small change in Firefox configuration, in the section I referenced: "This issue relates to the Firefox config editor.use_div_for_default_newlines which defaults to true. Changing it to false [in about:config]... takes the problem away for me. Nthep (talk) 15:35, 24 May 2019 (UTC)" I don't remember the details, but the problem was caused by a change Firefox made to the way it handles some HTML markup, it's not really a WikEd issue. If you want to know more (though there's no reason to), read through several previous reports of this issue and links from there. Pol098 (talk) 19:21, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sensational return of line-swallower in April 2023!!!

Pol098 and Thue (and Cacycle), I changed this years ago when I had the problem and found the work-around here, but noticed it had started again recently (possibly with a recent Firefox update?). I have checked my editor.use_div_for_default_newlines and it is still set to false, but WikEd still keeps losing lines and sometimes randomly inserting between bullet points. Any ideas for what to try next? Also, could this be added to the "Known general issues" section on your user page, please, Cacyle, so it is easier to find? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:13, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

p.s. And adding how to get to About:config on Firefox might also be helpful in the instructions to correct it if added to known issues. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:16, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've noticed the recent change (reversion to losing line breaks) since April 2023. I'm not sure if it's identical to the way it was before, and indeed find that editor.use_div_for_default_newlines, changed to fix the original problem, remains false. I might change it back again to see what happens. I hadn't reported it, after spending a lot of time on it in 2021; other browsers work. To get to aboutLconfig, just type it in the address bar and accept the warning. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 12:22, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

looking online, it seems to be an issue with FF v112. Nthep (talk) 12:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

All versions from FF v112 to (latest) v116.0.3. Pol098 (talk) 16:57, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Still happening to me, and editor.use_div_for_default_newlines still set to false... Thanks for your work and updates on this, Pol098. I just keep switching between Wiked and the default one afterwards to check the lines. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:05, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

An alternative to switching editors is simply to use a different browser for Wikipedia. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 14:19, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Running the RegExpTypoFixer adds duplicate endings and $3. (i.e. ruled -> ruleded$3, creator -> creatoror$3, Jennifer -> Jenniferer$3). I think it's happening for all the rules using $3, but I haven't checked carefully. I've also got a similar problem to the one mentioned above, with RegExpTypoFixer eating the last newline if I run it on selected paragraph(s) instead of the whole page.

I have WikEd enabled, but all I can do is turn it on or off. This is probably due to me being on mobile. ― Qwerfjkl|✉   22:46, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Just a note that that bug (reported above at #Unicode fixing bug) is still active ... and FWIW, I haven't selected any options that mention "unicode" in any of the preference pages, that I can see. I use Firefox, and any time I try to sort any of my tables or lists of plants using wikEd, it replaces any occurrence of the string "uad" with "&shy ;" (without the space). FWIW. - Dank (push to talk) 19:12, 21 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

As title, I've tested whether wikEd is usable when using these two skins, discovering that it does not work when using any of them (OS:Windows 10 Home 21H1 Browser:Mozilla Firefox for Acer 94.0.1 (64-bit) and Microsoft Edge 95.0.1020.44 (64-bit)). Yet it is usable when using Vector (both browsers work). What is the reason of this? I'm very curious.--RekishiEJ (talk) 17:53, 9 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

After toggle uppercase first → uppercase, I usually want to toggle again to lower case, but recently wikEd loses the highlighting, so now I have to select and highlight the text again. This is time-consuming and makes me more likely to highlight something other than the exact text I had highlighted for the first toggle. Chris the speller ^yack 05:14, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi - I too have noticed this, in addition to an even worse problem, and was wondering if you had changed anything recently? Every time I cut and paste, the cursor shoots back to the top of section, which as you can imagine is very time-wasting and frustrating. (On Firefox.) I did try doing a clean and restarting my computer, but that didn't fix it. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:53, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I've been seeing that too, only in Firefox 94 on Windows. No problem in Firefox for Android or any other browser on Windows. Nthep (talk) 09:18, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I don't think I changed anything when the problem started, and now (within the last week) it seems to be fixed, though again I changed nothing. I'm very happy. Maybe a Firefox update broke it and then another update fixed it. It's now Firefox 97.0 Chris the speller ^yack 05:12, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I realised that very quickly, but I can't log in to GitHub to say so [later: I can now log in, and have posted update] (a changed email address and a password deemed "weak" - when I try to login I get a password reset sent to a non-existent email address). I wrote a followup which I can't post there; I'll put it here in the hope it'll be seen by the Firefox maintainers (I haven't revised and checked it thoroughly, ready for GitHub).

I think that this might be the same as #wikiEd running paragraphs together and inserting extraneous newlines above, in Firefox. It seems to be losing paragraph breaks and randomly inserting lines after headers. I noticed this a couple of weeks ago for the first time in a long time.

Oh, I have just re-read the solution about Firefox needing the change to editor.use_div_for_default_newlines to false, and worked out how to do it... Hopefully fixed now! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:37, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

This edit request to User:Cacycle/wikEd.js has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Internet Explorer doesn't support unsetting styles using null (reference).

Therefore, I would like to replace this code:

	// delete measuring styles
	select.style.margin = null;
	input.style.fontFamily = null;
	select.style.fontFamily = null;

with:

	// delete measuring styles
	// (IE requires assigning an empty string, it doesn't work with null)
	select.style.margin = '';
	input.style.fontFamily = '';
	select.style.fontFamily = '';

I'm not sure wikEd can run on IE anyway, but it's more about promoting more compatible code. We'll have to live with IE 11 for some time yet, at least on Wikipedia.

(ah, and the complete removal of IE from MDN is really annoying…)

User:Cacycle isn't very active currently (very few edits on 2021, extremely few edits on 2022), and although wikEd is in the User: namespace, this script is imported by a lot of wikis.

Bonjour,

Anomalie : En synthèse lorsque je travaille avec l'éditeur Wikied comme en mode classique il y a d'emblée un problème d'affichage : deux fenêtres d'édition s'ouvrent l'une sous l'autre et en mode classique les boutons se superposent avec la fenêtre du dessous et ne sont pas actifs. Je peux éditer le texte et le sauvegarder la première fois que j'utilise l'éditeur depuis la mise en marche de l'ordinateur. Mais lors des modifications suivantes, le texte modifié n'est pas repris lorsque je le prévisualise et n'est pas conservé lorsque je sauvegarde ma modification. Je finis généralement par sauvegarder ma modification en effectuant de multiples tentatives ... mais je n'ai jamais pu déterminer une procédure précise permettant de contourner ce bug.

Configuration : Windows 11, Firefox version 109.0 et Chrome Version 109.0.5414.76 (même problème avec les deux navigateurs).

Contexte :

• Je ne suis pas un perdreau de l'année ...
• Je ne touche jamais au paramétrage de l'éditeur mais quelques jours avant le déploiement de la dernière version de Vector sur la version anglophone de Wiki (pure coincidence, je n'étais pas au courant), j'ai voulu testé les dernières fonctionnalités de l'éditeur et ai activé toutes les fonctions beta ainsi que la version la plus récente de l'éditeur. Ayant eu des problèmes en éditant les articles (pb sans rapport avec ceux que je signale ici, j'arrivais à faire des sauvegardes), j'ai choisi l'ancienne version de Vector et ai désactivé toutes les fonctions beta le jour même ou Vector était déployé. Et c'est là que tous mes ennuis ont commencé.
• Par ailleurs mon ordinateur fonctionne normalement (Photoshop, Word, Excel, navigateur internet, messagerie Thunderbird) et a priori je n'ai pas de virus. Pline (discuter) 27 janvier 2023 à 09:37 (CET)

Hello, my text editor (wikied, classic wiki) still works badly: display problems, loss of text entered. Would my profile be...broken? I use the old version of Vector (2010) and all the beta functions are off. --Pline (talk) 12:44, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi, User:Cacycle/wikEdDiff.js can trigger TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'innerHTML') in line 652 which has the content var versionMatchOld = tdOld.innerHTML.match( /\bhref="([^#"<>]+?(&(amp;)?|\?)oldid=\d+[^#"<>]*?)"/ );.

Thanks a lot! :) -- AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 00:03, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think line 567 should be changed to compare against undefined instead of null, i.e.

	if ( tdOld === undefined || tdNew === undefined ) {

– these variables are never null, but they may be undefined if the appropriate table cells are not found. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:46, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Do we know of anything that's incompatible with wikEd? I tried enabling the gadget in Preferences and nothing seemed to happen: editing a page looked just like normal and there was no wikEd button on the page, even after a hard refresh. I also tried downloading the Tampermonkey script (after disabling the gadget). It claimed to run, but again with no visible effect. As wikEd works for everyone else, it's obviously a problem with my setup rather than a bug. Are there any known conflicts? I'm using Vector 2010, Firefox and Ubuntu. Thanks, Certes (talk) 21:35, 5 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

There are a lot of things that are incompatible with wikEd, but as far as I know, it’s way more common that wikEd breaks other things than the other way round. JavaScript error messages may be of help. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:38, 5 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

I don't know if this is related, but a few days ago I noticed that I didn't see wikEd anymore. I haven't been actively editing lately, so I don't know when it stopped working. I was using Vector 2022, and I did all sorts of settings changes to try to find the cause, cleared my CSS and JS pages etc. Long story short, I finally got it to appear, I don't even know how, but only in Vector 2010. I have a test account logged in on another browser and I reset all the settings on that account but it's the same thing: wikEd works on Vector 2010 but not on 2022. kyykaarme (talk) 16:47, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Izno: The first element of the array should also be changed from personal to p-personal. Now the logo is slightly out of place because it’s placed directly in the <body> (fallback mode) instead of the personal menu. The fallback position happens to be near to the intended one, but it isn’t exactly there (and due to the user menu being absolutely positioned, it can cause overlaps). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 18:37, 10 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
